Enjoy Brome-Missisquoi

Do the fall colours make you want to explore the Wine Route in a slower, more contemplative way? Hop on your bike! The “Circuit du patrimoine” (heritage circuit) was designed exactly for that. The terrain is flat, the distance is very reasonable (42 kilometres between 2 and 3 hours depending on your speed), the roads are lightly travelled by motorists, and the scenery is splendid! And let’s not forget the wine! You’ll encounter 3 vineyards along your route, and 2 more if you allow yourself a short detour.

Dive into one of the most surprising chapters of our history! Brome-Missisquoi, the birthplace of Quebec viticulture, was ironically also home to the country’s first temperance movements! Long before the Wine Route became one of the region’s flagship tourist attraction, the area’s border roads were a bustling crossroads for hundreds of thousands of people seeking all kinds of alcohol. Take the 130-kilometre Prohibition Heritage Trail and discover through interpretive panels and audio capsules the characters, anecdotes, and various locations that marked the era of prohibition and temperance. And if all these stories make you thirsty, stop at one of the vineyards you’ll encounter along the way!

Escape the everyday routine for a weekend that will recharge the entire family. Turn apple picking into a treasure hunt, explore forest trails ablaze with autumn colours, and discover authentic farm life. Pet gentle animals, watch local artisans at work, and see history come alive in museums. In Brome-Missisquoi, each day weaves a tapestry of precious family memories.
