The fair has grown due to its history. Before it became La Grande Dégustation de Montréal, the event already existed since 1994 under the name Salon des vins et spiritueux de Montréal. After more than 20 years of existence, the Salon des vins et des spiritueux de Montréal renewed its concept and name in 2011 to continue to offer a unique experience to visitors, industry professionals and exhibitors.
