Cidre Choinière
This cidery crafts farmhouse ciders with a simple approach that lets the terroir shine through. Native yeasts, natural bottle fermentation, and authentic flavours that vary from vintage to vintage. The boutique and terrace offer the perfect setting for a well-deserved tasting break.
Troisième arrêt
Pause au village de Frelighsburg. Suggestions d'arrêts :
A picturesque village on the American border, surrounded by orchards and traced by the Rivière aux Brochets, Frelighsburg nestles at the foot of Mont Pinacle, one of the last remaining wild mountains near Montreal. Cafés, restaurants, a microbrewery, cideries, a farmers’ market, a network of hiking trails, rich built heritage — there’s no shortage of reasons to linger here.
Quatrième arrêt
Since 1982, the Levasseur family has welcomed visitors to this enchanting site along the Rivière aux Brochets, where you can picnic and browse the farm-style boutique. Be sure to come back once your bike ride is done — if the season allows, you can even pick your own apples!
Cinquième arrêt
A pioneer of Quebec’s wine industry, Vignoble de l’Orpailleur is a must-visit on La Route des vins. On-site offerings include tastings, guided tours, an interpretive trail, an “économusée” dedicated to winemaking, and even a restaurant.
