Peruse the First
Winemaking Region in Quebec
1980
1982
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.
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.
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.
2004 et 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. Download the map at routedesvinsdelestrie.com

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.
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?

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 21 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. If you’re the sporty type, check out Sutton, Bromont, or any of our large parks in the winter to ski (downhill, alpine touring or cross-country), snowshoe, fatbike, or hike. By now, you’ve probably gathered that Brome-Missisquoi is the ideal destination for both oenophiles and lovers of the great outdoors. Santé!

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.
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; 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.

In 1796, Dunham was the first township in the region to be proclaimed and the first to be officially established in Lower Canada. With its numerous stone and brick houses, three churches, and fenced properties, the village core is typical of those from the Loyalist era. Today, several restaurants and boutiques are located in impressive buildings from the past. The birthplace of Quebec’s grape-growing industry, Dunham is the midpoint on the Brome-Missisquoi Wine Route featuring 21 vineyards. Agricultural tourism is focused on pick-your-own operations, opportunities to meet market gardeners, the public market, and the discovery of wines, ciders, and craft beers. With its bucolic, rolling landscape, Dunham is known for the rural, food-focused nature of its village.
VAL CAUDALIES, DUNHAM

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, a mountain of experiences, 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.
A small town bordering the Yamaska River that has kept its Loyalist character and attractive downtown area, Farnham is an active commercial and industrial centre located in a prosperous agricultural region. An unusual aspect is the nearby presence of a large National Defence base, which trains the Canadian military. 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 public de Farnham, public market in the summer. A heritage tour and a cultural program are also part of the tourist offer. CONFECTIONERY, FRELIGHSBURG

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.

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. LAC BROME
Lac-Brome ?P 5,639 inhabitants
The Town of Brome Lake is composed of seven villages. The elegant Victorian village of Knowlton is famous for its Loyalist roots and outstanding built heritage. Auberge Knowlton prides itself on being the oldest inn in the Eastern Townships, in operation since 1849. The Lac-Brome Museum, including the Children’s Museum and Archives, and the heritage tour reflect the prosperity of yesteryear. The village core features Coldbrook Park; the Antiques Roadways and Byways; Theatre Lac-Brome featuring English- and French-language performances. Agricultural tourism is also prevalent, with the renowned Brome Lake Ducks farm as well as the Léon Courville vineyard.
Stanbridge East 857 inhabitants
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 AngloSaxon allure with its heritage homes, and fairgrounds where a public market is held Saturdays throughout the summer. In summer 2022, the Stanstead County Agricultural Society will hold the 175th 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. LAKE MASSAWIPPI, AYER'S CLIFF

The fate of this municipality is closely linked to that of its lakes: Grand-Lac and Petit-Lac Brompton, Montjoie, and Desmarais. Here, residents live amidst natural beauty in a vacation setting. The first name of the founder of the area, Father Joseph Denis Bellemare, was attributed to this parish instituted in 1880. The second part of the name refers to Brompton Township. In its early days, only a few dirt tracks crossed the village, such as Scotch Road, which reflects the town’s origins.
The parish of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle was founded in 1856 by several families of Irish and Loyalist origins. It has been recognized for numerous years as a pilgrimage destination with its church dedicated to Saint Anne, its grotto, sanctuary, and nearby roadside cross. Here, you can become familiar with sea buckthorn and with donkey-milk-based products, the latter of which provide excellent body care. If you are fortunate, you may encounter exotic animals: Tigers, lions, monkeys…. Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle is full of surprises!

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 DE FRONTENAC
A charming little waterfront village, Piopolis, which has Coeur 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 dayto-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-Zénon-de-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
691 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, two parks with 52 wind turbines 130 metres in height have 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
P
723 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 Saint-François, and is home to the Saint-Romain 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.
PARC DU GRAND LAC SAINT-FRANÇOIS
SaintSébastien
P
683 inhabitants
Along the Summit Drive, at 500 metres in altitude, SaintSébastien, 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 SaintSébastien, 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.

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
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 SaintAlphonse 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.
P
167 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 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 and Lake Megantic. This little village has a good number of tourist accommodations. It has everything: Cycling, snowmobiling, hiking, and dogsledding trails; hunting; star gazing; and The Mini Compostelle - Au Cœur de Mégantic pilgrimage trail.

Outdoor Recreation
6 BEST PRACTICES More and more people are enjoying the great outdoors, and we’re all for it. Here are some ways to make the experience fun and safe today… and for generations to come.
-> 1
-> 2
Pick up your trash. And dispose of it correctly in a public bin or at home. This includes dog waste! Even bags marked biodegradable or compostable take years to decompose in nature.
Keep dogs on leash and in designated areas. The reason is simple: The scent left by dogs can repel wild animals.
-> 3
-> 4
Stay on the trail. Think of the trail like a scar: Every step outside of it creates further damage. Going off trail also increases your risk of getting lost or injured which can be both dangerous and costly, should rescue services be required.
Be courteous. On the trail, remember that ascending hikers have priority, keep noise pollution to a minimum, warn fellow hikers of your intention to pass, and respect the trail’s vocation (i.e. don’t ride your bike on a hiking trail).
-> 5
-> 7
Think safety. Before heading out, make a habit of gathering pertinent trail information (distance, conditions, difficulty, etc.) and telling someone where you’re going and when you expect to return. You’ll also want to wear appropriate shoes and clothing and bring a supply of water and food.
Pay your way. Access fees are usually just a few dollars but play a critical role in keeping our parks and nature centres afloat. And speaking of infrastructure: Pay attention to parking regulations to avoid a nasty surprise when you get back to the trailhead.
And most importantly, enjoy your time exploring the great outdoors in the Eastern Townships!
Explore the Eastern Townships 11 Getaways, 83 Attractions, 779 km of Pure Pleasure From the top of Mégantic’s highest peaks to the vineyards of Brome-Missisquoi—not to mention some of the prettiest towns and villages in the area!—our routes are designed to help you discover everything that the region has to offer. There are three tourist routes (Brome-Missisquoi Wine Route, Summit Drive and Townships Trail plus curated itineraries on numbered and country roads to choose from. Either way, the suggested stops are sure to inspire moments of pure pleasure. To simplify the planning process, let yourself be inspired by these 11 routes. Explore them in whole or in part; with friends, family or solo; over one or several days; and in active or contemplative mode. In other words, follow your whim and explore at your own pace!
