Peruse the First

Winemaking Region in Quebec

1980

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’Ardoise was born.

A few years later, Dr. Jacques Papillon 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.

2004 and 2012

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

Wine Country Awaits

For more wine country touring, explore the Estrie Wine Route, which was created eight years ago and also boasts charming stops for oenophiles and epicureans alike.

The Brome-Missisquoi region is hotbed of winemaking in Quebec.

Over the past 40 years, dozens of new vineyards have popped up, bringing their own personality and unique offering onto the landscape.

The properties are connected by Quebec’s only Wine Route, which spans a breathtaking 160 kilometres through rolling hills and quaint villages. A guaranteed highlight of any Townships visit!

Bromont, montagne d ’expériences There are seven sides to explore at Bromont, not to mention the largest night skiing terrain in North America.

MontOrford Terrain diversity and breathtaking views make days spent at this resort, which is tucked in the heart of a national park, unforgettable.

Mont SUTTON For those in the know, Sutton is synonymous with abundant snow and gorgeous glades. With 204 junctions, you ski an entirely different line at every lap.

Destination Owl ’s Head From the top (and all the way down, for that matter), you’ll enjoy some of the most breathtaking views on Lac Memphrémagog and other ski hills beyond the U.S. border.

Did somebody say après?

If a ski hill is only as a good as its après scene, we couldn’t be prouder of our local spots! So, what’ll it be: A craft beer in a festive ambiance or a muscle-soothing soak at the spa?

Discover our Regions

Agricultural landscapes, vibrant cities, towering mountains, heritage villages, an abundance of waterways, lively food and cultural scenes…

Our region’s nine territories are all that oh-so much more.

Brome-Missisquoi, Memphrémagog, Coaticook River Valley, Sherbrooke, Granby, Des Sources, Val-Saint-François, Haut-Saint-François, Mégantic… No matter which corner of the Townships you choose, we’re confident you’ll fall head over heels every time you visit.

BromeMissisquoi

From Vines to Mountains Forty years ago, the first grapevines were planted in the region. Since then, vineyards have multiplied exponentially, giving Brome-Missisquoi the unique distinction of being the first and foremost winemaking region in Quebec.

Vineyards… and then Some Sitting pretty in a setting of rolling hills, Brome-Missisquoi’s vineyards are connected by La Route des Vins, a scenic 160-kilometre wine route that features 20 wineries and a smattering of charming towns and villages.

The route is driveable, of course, but road biking is another great way to discover the region’s myriad of assets. Prefer an adrenaline-filled ride? Both Bromont and Sutton offer exciting mountain bike trail networks suitable for all riders.

Come winter, both mountains pivot to snow sports: skiing (resort, touring and cross-country), snowshoeing and fatbiking. In other words? Let it snow!

By now, you’ve probably gathered that Brome-Missisquoi is the ideal destination for both oenophiles and lovers of the great outdoors. Santé!

VIGNOBLE LA BAUGE

Brigham is named for the owner of a brick factory, which was this area’s largest business in the mid-19th century. Tangible signs of the past include two covered bridges, one of which underwent major restoration in 2001; the neo-Renaissance Brigham Manor (1865), as well as the Brigham United Church (1872), both of which have been converted into private homes; and numerous houses dating from 1865 through 1890.

Living in a predominantly rural and agricultural setting, Brigham’s residents enjoy excellent market garden produce from neighbouring farms, and visitors delight in the two vineyards and numerous maple syrup operations.

Discover Brome-Missisquoi

The town of Bedford was an important business centre at the end of the 19th century and was long regarded as the seat of Missisquoi County. Fine examples of New England influence can be seen in the magnificent homes, as well as in the Anglican (1834), United (1871), and Catholic (1910) churches. Its wide main street (Principale), which features terraces, a park, a chocolate shop, and a bakery, is popular among residents as well as cyclists who choose the Bedford region for its magnificent landscapes and many trail options. In August, the Bedford agricultural fair enables visitors to connect with the rural setting.

BROMONT, MONTAGNE D'EXPÉRIENCES

Bromont 10,858 inhabitants

The dream of brothers Germain and Roland Désourdy to develop a town of the second millennium became a reality when the town was founded in 1964. Bromont was created from the former village of West Shefford, which had merged with Adamsville and the surrounding areas. Tourists are enchanted with the old village sector featuring gift shops, bistros, a heritage tour, art galleries, and antique shops. Since 1964, Bromont, montagne d'expériences, has been welcoming skiers, and once summer arrives, turning into a water park and mountain biking site. Bromont attracts a host of sports enthusiasts with its four golf courses, a bike trail connected to the Route verte, and more than 100 km of multi-use trails open year-round.

In addition to Lake Davignon with its water-based activities, in the heart of the city, the historic sector of Sweetsburg contributes to Cowansville’s charm with its Loyalist influences, majestic buildings, and fancy Victorian-style homes along Principale and Du Sud streets.

An important cycling link between Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Granby via the Montérégiade 1 and 2 bike trails, Farnham is also a site for discovery experiences through its Marché de la Station Gourmande public market in the summer.

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 cider houses, orchards, and livestock farms. Many top-quality artistic activities are held in this town.

ST-ARMAND COVERED BRIDGE

Saint-Armand 1,231 inhabitants

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. Cyclists enjoy pedalling along the roads in this municipality. A good way to discover these historical and heritage treasures is to visit the 12 stops along the Saint-Armand built heritage circuit.

Stanbridge East

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.

On the western shores of Lake Memphremagog, Austin is named for Nicholas Austin, a Quaker from New Hampshire who immigrated here in 1793. The village is well worth a visit to admire the panoramic views of the lake and nearby mountains. At the intersection of Nicholas Austin and Millington roads is a little Catholic church that was once of Anglican denomination. Beside it is Muriel Ball-Duckworth Park, the departure point for a 4.7-km heritage tour. On the other side is Reginald Aubrey Fessenden Park, the departure point for a planetary trail along a 2-km pedestrian walkway leading to Saint-Benoît-du-Lac.

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 2021, the Stanstead County Agricultural Society will hold the 176th edition of its fair – one of the oldest in the province. The tourist offer also includes the Sentier Nature Tomifobia bike path along the river of the same name.

Nestled in the heart of the Missisquoi Valley, East Bolton is a patchwork of nature and history. It includes Bolton Centre and South Bolton and lakes Nick, Long Pond, and Trousers. A stop on the Townships Trail, the architectural heritage of both the Centre Saint-Patrick and East Bolton’s town hall is a tangible sign of its well-preserved Loyalist history. Every Saturday in the summer Parc Terrio hosts a public market and a bistro.

The cultural committee is very active, offering, in particular, outdoor concerts and two annual exhibitions. Located between the river and the Appalachian Corridor, the Spa des Chutes de Bolton attracts numerous guests who enjoy the flowing water and relaxing massages.

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).

The overall allure of this township's village core, with its 19th-century red-brick buildings, their slate roofs, and American vernacular style, reflects the origins of the pioneers who settled here circa 1799. Coburn Park features a public work of art, a life-sized depiction of a painting by Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960), one of Canada’s most well-known artists and native of the township.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church (1842) was even immortalized on Canadian two-dollar bills from 1954 to 1975. The Melbourne Ridge United Church (1858) is a site of interest, as is the Richmond County Historical Society's museum.

Established in 1896, one of Kingsbury’s main characteristics is its houses with slate roofs, tangible reminders of the large slate quarries that operated until the early 20th century. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking and observing the wildlife at the Kingsbury marsh. This marsh is an ideal setting for observing waterfowl and white-tailed deer; it is also home to a heron colony and a stand of red pines.

The Kingsbury zone of the Sentiers de l'Estrie hiking trail network, 24 km in length, provides access to the La Rouche rock face, which looks out over the lake of the same name and the mountain ranges to the south.

Lambton

726 inhabitants

Founded in 1847, the municipality of Lambton is the oldest in the Du Granit MRC. Following a major fire in 1905, the current majestic cathedral-style Saint-Vital church (1905-1907), as well as the former rectory, which now houses a tourist office and an art gallery, sit proudly in the centre of the village, offering a spectacular view of Grand lac Saint-François below.

Cultural, water-based, and outdoor activities as well as camping and other tourist accommodations are available in the nearby Parc national de Frontenac and the lakeside municipal park. An interpretation rest stop focuses on Summit Drive.

Marston, located on the western shore of Lake Megantic, takes its name from a village in Yorkshire County, England, and in 1859 it became a safe haven for Loyalist immigrants, who settled on a road they called Drum-A-Vack, which is Gaelic for "on both sides of the hill." On Spring Hill Road, the Echo Vale Cemetery is the final resting place of the McLeod, Murdo, and McIver pioneer families. On the main road, near the former church, you’ll find the municipal park with its Summit Drive stop and the starting point for the "Un Lac au Sommet" trail, a 4-km hiking trail.

Victoria Bay has a marina to welcome boaters.

Notre-Dame-des-Bois

Piopolis

P

P 1,000 inhabitants

At an altitude of 555 metres, Notre-Dame-des-Bois is one of the highest elevated villages in Quebec.

Established in 1877, it is nestled at the base of Mount Megantic and surrounded by many other mountain peaks, including the White Mountains near New Hampshire and Maine. Discover these mountains and breathtaking views as you come up close and personal with them on the Sentiers frontaliers trails.

The main entrance to Parc national du Mont-Mégantic, this outdoor destination—with an observatory that is unique in Quebec, in the heart of the first International Dark Sky Reserve—has what it takes to attract both astronomy enthusiasts and hikers. Accommodations and food tourism await.

PARC NATIONAL DU MONT-MÉGANTIC

A charming little waterfront village, Piopolis, which has Cœur Villageois designation, was founded in 1871 on the western shore of Lake Megantic by Papal Zouaves. Small businesses, an inn, B&Bs, a marina, a beach, and a campground add to the enjoyment of vacationers and those passing through, and contribute to the tempo of the day-to-day lives of its residents. The Halte des Zouaves rest area and a heritage route highlight its unique history. The breathtaking vistas on Rang des Grenier road and the Pioneer Trail are worth the detour. The Saint-Zénonde-Piopolis festival features high-calibre classical music concerts in the church. A network of hiking trails through forests and along the water provides additional activity options.

Saint-Augustinde-Woburn

P

681 inhabitants

Founded circa 1898 in the push for Francophone colonization, Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn is located south of Lake Megantic at the base of Mount Gosford, the highest summit in southern Quebec at 1,193 m in altitude. A forestry village near the U.S. border, it features the Louise Gosford controlled harvesting zone with its hunting and fishing activities, together with the Forêt Habitée du Mont Gosford, a popular outdoor destination. The Sentiers frontaliers, a 135-km-long walking trail network, with border peaks at 1,100 metres in altitude and enchanting scenery.

The Summit Drive rest stop with its intriguing horizontal sundial is a must-visit site.

The municipality of Saint-Robert-Bellarmin, settled by Beauce colonists in 1907, was renamed after Italian bishop Robert Bellarmino in 1944. Located at the far limits of the Estrie region, a 40-wind turbine park 130 metres in height has been in operation since September 2012. Mount Bélanger features 20 km of hiking trails along hills, escarpments, lakes, and talus slopes, with an observation tower at the summit. Nature lovers can enjoy an amazing forest ecosystem at Lake Émilie, and vistas along the Summit Drive as far as the eye can see.

Saint-Romain

SaintSébastien

P

553 inhabitants 704 inhabitants

Crossed by the Summit Drive, the small village of Saint-Romain is known for its Maison Familiale Rurale, with its unique work-study co-op approach for high school students extending outside the walls of the classroom. Near Parc national de Frontenac, it is bordered by the Grand lac SaintFrançois, and is home to the SaintRomain controlled harvesting zone. The municipality is an outdoor activity destination that is expanding with its fishing, hunting, and hiking activities. Teepee and cabin accommodations await vacationers. A gourmet stop at the Ferme du Péché Mignon completes its offer.

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, providing a breathtaking view as one leaves the village. This is the provincial (St. Joseph’s Oratory) and Canadian granite capital, as evidenced by the neoclassical church built in 1889 and the presence of its industries well incorporated into the landscape.

Surrounded by scenic roads, Saint-Sébastien is well worth a stop to fully enjoy the landscapes.

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.

Located on the Summit Drive, Stratford is known for its diverse topography, featuring Mount Aylmer and its five lakes. Stratford is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, and for cyclists who also enjoy the great conditions for their sport. Visitors have an opportunity to stock up on local market produce and to take advantage of services such as a municipal wharf, launching ramp, groomed hiking trail, and campground.

In the heart of the village, there is a Summit Drive interpretation stop.

Val-Racine 177 inhabitants

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 Saint-Joseph. 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 and Lake Megantic. This little village has a good number of tourist accommodations. It has everything: Cycling, snowmobile, hiking, and dogsledding trails; hunting; star gazing; and the Mini Compostelle Mégantic.
