Our journey, from dream to delightful events

Every great event has a story, and ours began with a simple dream. From a charming idea to the creation of memorable moments, L’APÉRO has reinvented the way we celebrate. Thanks to our adorable Piaggio Ape truck, we have made it our mission to spread good cheer wherever we go. At every stop, we serve delicious drinks that transform gatherings into unforgettable memories.

Chateau Ste-Agnes

This charming 1982 Piaggio Ape is part of an original batch shipped from Italy in the early ’80s. For years, it cruised the boardwalks of Wasaga Beach, serving ice cream bars and summer smiles. When that business closed, the little truck spent nearly a decade resting quietly in a field—waiting for its next chapter.

In 2021, the truck was thoughtfully restored by Caitlin of Champagne & Co., with craftsmanship by Ken Johnson. Transformed into a champagne truck and named Tappo, it travelled across Ottawa and surrounding areas. Every detail reflected the passion and care poured into giving it new life.

We became the proud owners of Tappo in 2025 and launched L’APÉRO – Buvette Mobile. Keeping its original name—and affectionately calling it Le p’tit camion—we are honoured to continue its story, one event at a time. Today, it serves champagne, wine, beer, margaritas, refined mocktails and more — freshly poured from five taps: three on the main side and two at the back.
Cheers to that!
