Published on Sept 4, 2025

Twenty years ago, a few passionate producers in the Coaticook region had this very simple idea: to have people come and savour their produce by inviting them to visit their farms and orchards. Two decades later, The Comptonales Gourmet Tour has become a true autumn staple in the Eastern Townships. Indeed, it’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the season... and all those who make it so vibrant!

The Gourmet Tour is Celebrating its 20th Anniversary… You can taste it

October 11 and 12, 2025

Here, for two days, you’ll enjoy discovering seven gourmet stops while exploring the colourful Compton countryside. On foot, by bike, or via a free shuttle, you’ll experience a friendly ambiance, local products, and, most importantly, delicious treats created especially for the occasion. Comforting, surprising, sweet, or salty... they’re yours to savour.

Our producers will be on hand to welcome you, chat with you, offer tastings of their products and share their know-how. And for children, some stops will also feature games or themed workshops.

Psst...! Each snack sample costs between 1 and 4 coupons you’ll have purchased online before you head out. We recommend starting with 24 coupons to enjoy the tour to the fullest—just the right amount! Need more? No worries: you can buy additional coupons on site.
