PERUSE THE FIRST

winemaking REGION IN QUEBEC

THE STORY BEGINS IN 1980, when passionate— and admittedly, slightly crazy!—vintners Christian Barthomeuf and Jacques Breault traveled to Ontario to obtain cuttings to plant the first vineyard in the Eastern Townships. Just like that, Dunham’s Domaine des Côtes d’Ardoire was born.

A few years later, Dr. Jacques Papillion purchased the vineyard and exploited it for 30+ years while Christian Barthomeuf opened Clos Saragnat in Frelighsburg, where he would eventually develop the very first ice cider.

1982. Four more visionaries (Charles-Henri de Coussergues, Hervé Durand, Frank Furtado

and Pierre Rodrigue) work tirelessly to establish the region’s second vineyard, l’Orpailleur, right across the street from Domaine des Côtes d’Ardoise.

From this lovely story was born two wine routes: The Brome-Missisquoi Wine Route in 2004 and the Estrie Wine Route in 2012.

Close to the Vermont border and nestled at the foot of Mount Pinnacle, Frelighsburg is recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Quebec. The architectural quality and heritage aspects of several of the village’s buildings are remarkable. The Grammar School (1856); the general store, converted into a Café de Village; and the churches built on heights of land instill life into this village core. Apple growing adds colour to the countryside with its homemade production sites, cider houses, and orchards. Many top-quality artistic activities are held in this town. On Principale Street, stop by the Oneka organic farm based on the principles of permaculture and producing body care products.

Located northeast of Lake Champlain on the banks of Missisquoi Bay, the hamlet of Philipsburg, one of Saint-Armand’s two sectors, was the first site in the region to have been settled (1784). The constructions dating from the 19th century, the rural setting, the covered bridge (1845) on Edoin Road, and the country roads leading to vineyards, far removed from contemporary turbulence, infuse an old-fashioned essence and charm into this village. A good way to discover these historical and heritage treasures is to visit the 12 stops along the Saint-Armand built heritage circuit.

In the 19th century, Mystic, a hamlet located within the territory of the municipality, experienced a surge of industrial activity when the son of Salomon Walbridge built a foundry and a metal workshop in 1864.

The village of Stanbridge East has succeeded in preserving its original Loyalist architecture.

The presence of the Anglican Church (1860), the United Church (1844), and the neoclassical former school are tangible signs of its past. The Missisquoi Museum injects life into the milieu, presenting exhibitions in the Cornell Mill (1830) and Hodge’s General Store. The museum also welcomes visitors to the Walbridge Barn, an exceptional 12-sided, round barn, located in the charming hamlet of Mystic. This step back in time is a must for history enthusiasts where L’Oeuf, an artisanal chocolate shop, is also located. The annual apple pie festival, which is held in September, is as delicious an event as you’d hope.

The place name Ayer’s Cliff, adopted in 1904, reflects the site’s unique characteristic – the cliff towering over the southern shore of beautiful Lake Massawippi. It also commemorates Thomas Ayer, who introduced the railway in 1799. In the late 18th century, a small stagecoach inn welcomed travellers from the United States. Ayer’s Cliff has kept its Anglo-Saxon allure with its heritage homes, and fairgrounds where a public market is held Saturdays throughout the summer.

In summer 2020, the Stanstead County Agricultural Society will hold the 175th edition of its fair – one of the oldest in the province.

Created from the merger of the border villages of Beebe Plain, Rock Island, AND Stanstead, this town is an open-air history book and is proud to have the title of one of Quebec’s most beautiful villages. Magnificent 19th-century buildings and homes border Dufferin Street, on which are also located the prestigious Stanstead College and the Colby-Curtis Museum. The street extends to the border, where you will find CANUSA (Canada-USA) Street, which is divided in the centre by the border, as is the Haskell Opera House. A most rare characteristic, in the Opera House, the audience sits in the United States, while the artists perform on the stage, which is on Canadian soil.

Barnston-Ouest, characterized by its panoramic view from Mount Orford to Jay Peak, has, since 1946, included the villages of Way’s Mills and Kingscroft. A stop on the Townships Trail, the place name “Way’s Mills” evokes the memory of an American tweed and flannel manufacturer, L. S. Way, who arrived in the region circa 1808. Aside from the 13 bridges that cross the Niger River and several brooks, elements of interest include the United Church (1881), the Church of the Epiphany (1888), the round barn on the Holmes farm (1907), and one of the smallest fire halls in Quebec equipped with a tower used for drying hoses (1952).

Coaticook’s name was inspired by the word “Koatikeku,” from the Abenaki name of the river that runs through the territory. The municipality includes the hamlets of Baldwin’s Mills and Barnston. With its 131 agricultural operations, of which 50 are dairy farms, this area plays a major role in Quebec’s milk production, and the famous Coaticook ice cream company is a proud ambassador of this fact. At the Coaticook magic festival, Fête de la Magie, its magicians will be delighted to meet you at its workshops, courses, and shows in September. Coaticook highlights its heritage and culture with heritage tours, including Voices from Another Time, a tour of Coaticook’s cemeteries (with podcasts).

Birthplace of Louis Stephen St. Laurent, Prime Minister of Canada from 1948 to 1957, this charming municipality emerged from a mix of Anglophone and Francophone backgrounds. This blending of cultures was carried over to the St. Laurent’s quaint general store and home, now classified as a Parks Canada national historic site. Today considered in the region as a mecca of organic farming and a gourmet hub coveted by food enthusiasts, the area’s agricultural tourism businesses offer a vast array of local products that delight everyone. Its evening market, orchards and its gourmet festival, Les Comptonales, attract great crowds.

Ever since its launch in 2010, the Pioneer Trail has included a stop in Martinville. The silhouette of Oscar Lessard, an important entrepreneur from Martinville, is featured on the trail’s route. Located in the Parc du Vieux-Moulin in Martinville, Mr. Lessard’s historical figure presents broad chapters of the region’s history, as well as the major events that marked his era. Martinville’s © D.Caron

This municipality, nestled in a tiny valley in the heart of the Appalachians, looks towards New Hampshire. In addition to having the very first Caisse populaire Desjardins ever established in rural North America (1907), this small village is proud of its church museum (1877), which has retained its architecture and original interior finishings in varnished wood, as well as its angelic acoustics. The Maison de l’Arbre, with its exhibit on trees, and the Sentier Poétique, a 3-km poetry-themed walking trail, enliven the area and merit a visit.

The Pioneer Trail stops here to pay tribute to Hermine Malouin-Lefebvre (1841-1941), a centenarian who was an early settler in this area.

Waterville 2,213 inhabitants

The charm of Waterville, founded in 1876 by families of British and American origin, stems from its New England influence. It also has a surprisingly dynamic industrial sector. A richly illustrated historical route, Waterville et son Patrimoine, enables visitors to discover the soul and history of beautiful ancestral homes.

A stop at Parc des Cascades will reveal the former Gale & Sons water tower and a historic character from the Pioneer Trail. Discover outstanding landscapes along the Coaticook River on a canoeing-kayaking excursion called Aquaticook. The Club de Golf de Waterville, is among Quebec’s oldest links, boasts a beautiful course.

Elevated to town status in 1899, Windsor adopted its current name after Windsor Castle in England, in 1914. Known today for its ultramodern Domtar plant, which produces fine paper, Windsor had a rich industrial past, as told at the Parc historique de la Poudrière. This was Quebec’s first black powder or explosive plant, which began operations in 1864, and currently is home to an interpretation centre. The site features a guide, a multimedia show, and hiking trails where several archaeological artefacts can be admired along the Watopeka River.

Along the Summit Drive, at 500 metres in altitude, Saint-Sébastien, founded in 1855 by farmers from the Beauce, is a charming little municipality. An agricultural region, it extends across a long plateau, bordered to the southeast by Mount Saint-Sébastien, a breathtaking view of which can be seen at the southern end of the village. This is the provincial and national granite capital, as evidenced by the neoclassical church built in 1889 and the presence of its industries well integrated into the landscape. Surrounded by scenic roads, Saint-Sébastien is well worth a stop to fully enjoy the view.

Stornoway 527 inhabitants

k E-1

Stornoway, with its Scottish place name, and whose church steeple can be seen at the top of a hill, is well situated at the crossroads of routes 161 and 108. Three cemeteries serve as the final resting places of the first pioneers and a monument recalls the history of the founding families. The Catholic Church (1920) has a superb statue of Saint-Alphonse by renowned sculptor Louis Jobin. At the Summit Drive intersection, with a stunning view of the mountains, there is a stop featuring an illuminated star finder, symbolic of the International Dark Sky Reserve. On Route 161, along the banks of the Legendre River, a former flour mill is a tangible sign of the arrival of French Canadians.

An area that has been inhabited since the end of the 19th century, Val-Racine adopted its name in 1957. In 1883, the settlers built a sanctuary on the peak of Mount SaintJoseph. A popular place for pilgrimages, it is accessible today via a paved road in Parc national du Mont-Mégantic. The chapel, overlooking the Appalachian Mountains, offers a panoramic view of the bordering mountains
