Enjoy a fall road trip

Take a trip to the “Victo” region this fall! Go for the biggest gourmet road trip in Quebec during La Balade Gourmande, or for a visit to bright red fields during Canneberge en fête. See the largest snow goose migration in Eastern Canada or take pictures of colourful trees at the top of the highest mountain in Centre-du-Québec at Gleason en couleurs. Conveniently located less than 90 minutes from Montreal, Québec City and Sherbrooke, Victoriaville and its region are at the heart of the action. As the saying goes, happiness is just around the corner! (Website available in French only)

Enjoy the colors of the Memphrémagog region with a trip to Saint-Benoît-du-Lac’s Circuit de l’Abbaye (Abbey Trail), a 149-km walking loop that allows you to discover hidden treasures in seven municipalities. Whether you complete a portion of the Circuit, a half-tour or the entire 149 km, enjoy the colorful season and the soothing calm of this region.

Brome-Missisquoi may be the birthplace of viticulture in Quebec, but it is also in that same region where the first temperance movements in the country began. Long before the Wine Route became one of primary tourist attractions in the Eastern Townships, the region’s border roads were a bustling hub for hundreds of thousands of amateurs of beer, whiskey and other moonshine liquor during the different prohibition periods in the 19th and 20th centuries. Follow the 130 km of the Prohibition Heritage Trail and discover, through interpretation panels and audio clips, the characters, stories and various places that marked the era of prohibition and temperance.

Located just 30 minutes from Québec City, Portneuf offers a host of fall-coloured forest walks: in protected areas, on urban footpaths, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, or on long- or medium-distance hikes with shelters. Whether you’re in the region for just a few hours or you want to relax after a food tour, why not add a little extra fun to your outdoor experience by staying overnight? The trails in Portneuf await you for a one-of-a-kind adventure.

Until mid-October, Aventure Outaouais invites you to discover a hidden gem of the Outaouais region on a unique trip along the Pontiac Wine & Cider Tour, which showcases local products and the history of this booming agritourism region. With a guide, you'll visit the Domaine de Pontiac Village winery to taste wines and admire the vintage car collection, before heading to the Coronation Hall Cider Mills to sample delicious ciders and apple treats. You'll then stop by two other wineries that promise local wines, cheeses and pâtés, as well as spectacular views of Gatineau Park.
