From the farm to the plate, the Townships’ gourmet artisans are constantly innovating. Here are five examples that will have you want to discover for yourself what they’re up to!
Le Brasseur Fou Inside the Sawyerville Hotel’s heritage building is where Le Brasseur Fou has established its brewery. On the terrace, while you enjoy the guest folk singers perform, you can savour such artisanal beers as Zéphir, an amber with flavours of caramel, or their Kali, a light ale, along with several dishes made with local products.
L’Ardoise, coopérative brassicole Having just established themselves in Richmond, L’Ardoise, Coopérative Brassicole will experience its first summer since the microbrewery was launched in October 2021. On the menu, you’ll find a fine variety of beers: Bitter, Pale Ale, Dry Stout, lagers, NEIPA, Seasons …
With the addition of these two sites, the Circuit Brasseurs des Cantons now includes 29 microbreweries located in the four corners of the Townships. Download the map to find where they’re located and enjoy discovering our brewers.
Domaine Girouard The Domaine Girouard, established in Sutton since 2016, officially opened its vineyard last September. You’ll therefore be able to taste the first cuvées this summer while you take advantage of your visit to enjoy a picnic on the domain’s magnificent site.
Vignoble La Manse A small vineyard in full expansion, La Manse also celebrated its opening last September. Located in Roxton Pond, this vineyard proposes three wines (a white, a red and a rosé), relaxation spaces and a 2.5 km walking trail.
With the Fromagerie Gourmande de Bromont joining the route, we now have 16 cheese factories that make up the Têtes Fromagères Circuit, indeed a very unique route in Québec. With the help of our map, you can head out to meet these artisans who put their heart and talent in the products they create.
