What are we doing? What are we eating? Where can we go?
This fall, shape your weekends to nature’s rhythm. It is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy cultural and gourmet activities. To make the most of comfortable, sunny days, here is a series of activities to add to your calendar for couples, friends or family.
With olfactory immersion, virtual reality, exchanges with artisans and tastings of local products, the artisans at work literally set the table for an experience that will warm your heart… and your stomach on colder days!
Are you a fan of autumn landscapes and pick-your-own fruit? Visit Cidrerie et Vergers Pedneault – Pomiculture ÉCONOMUSÉE® on Isle-aux-Coudres to pick apples and other fruits, or the magnificent orchard of Cidrerie du Minot – ÉCONOMUSÉE® in Montérégie, to soak up the majesty of the site and crown your visit with a tasting of their award-winning products.
Isn’t chocolate a powerful antidote to grey days? ChocoMotive – Chocolate Making ÉCONOMUSÉE®, in the Outaouais region, and Couleur Chocolat – Chocolate Making ÉCONOMUSÉE®, in the Gaspé region, will stimulate your taste buds and satisfy your hunger for discovery. The latter offers an extraordinary virtual reality experience, virtually coating you in chocolate.
At Vignoble de l’Orpailleur – ÉCONOMUSÉE®, you can book an animated tour and discover the Quebec winemaking profession through an educational pathway. On sunny days, you can admire the colorful Eastern Townships landscape from the picnic and relaxation areas, to the sound of a live musical performance.
Maple taffy on snow in the fall? Yes, it is possible! Le Bistreau d’érable – CULINARY SPACE – Sugar Shack Meal offers a tasting of maple products, a maple butter brewing workshop, a tasting of a traditional sugar shack meal in “bite-sized” format, plus a year-round taffy-on-snow experience.
