Agritourism in Quebec: the best ways to discover the local terroir

Savour a meal at a farm

Quebec's Tables Champêtres^® establishments invite you for farm-to-table dining in settings surrounded by fields and nature and meals that contain at least 51% locally grown ingredients. The concepts vary from one location to the next, with some featuring a specific product as the highlight of their menu.

Discover local food on a bike tour

Across Quebec, gourmet cycling tourism is a great way to combine the joy of cycling with the pleasure of savouring local products and meeting the producers who make them. This active way of exploring regions combines the great outdoors, encounters with locals and culinary delights, all while reducing the environmental footprint of your travels.

Learn about agritourism as a family

Family agritourism turns your days out into opportunities to learn while having fun. At farms and food businesses, children discover where food comes from, see animals up close and take part in age-appropriate activities. These hands-on, fun experiences spark their curiosity while providing a wonderful time to share as a family.

Take part in the harvest

From late summer to early fall, Quebec’s vineyards come alive for the grape harvest. Becoming a grape picker for a day lets you take part in this crucial stage of wine production, when the grapes have reached full ripeness and are ready to be harvested. Alongside passionate people, you’ll take part in a highlight of the wine-growing year, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
