Go discover the Têtes Fromagères circuit

Discover the 16 cheese dairies in the Townships that are a part of the brand new Têtes Fromagères circuit. You can create your own itinerary online and plan a day that Daddy will enjoy. Have a good tasting!


Treat him to a gourmet outing that suits his style

Fingers crossed for good weather so you can enjoy a flavourful experience with your dear dad! Whether it’s a family picnic at Verger champêtre, a cider and spirits tasting at Cidrerie Autour de la pomme, or a bit of both at Cidrerie Milton , you’ll find the perfect spot in the Townships.


Go Discover one of the Brasseurs des Cantons

With almost thirty microbreweries, the Eastern Townships region has some of the best beers in Quebec. Visit one of the microbreweries on the circuit of Brasseurs des Cantons with him. Your dad will be delighted to discover good artisanal beers.


Go along the Brome-Missisquoi Wine Route

160 kilometres of picturesque countryside where you can stop by any one of 25 wineries that line this route. There you’ll discover gourmet treats. Some of them surprising. All of them, downright addictive! Several of the vineyards have scenic little corners where you can tuck into a picnic. Along the way, you’ll also find numerous restaurants. Enjoy the trip!


Take him out for brunch… at a cozy neighbourhood café!

Café Pierre Jean Jase, located in Sherbrooke, serves up comforting brunches in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Housed in a quaint residential home, this charming café offers hearty plates made with local ingredients: daily omelettes, breakfast poutine, homemade granola, smoked salmon bagels, and more. A spot sure to win over every kind of dad


Go to a rodeo

The Ayer’s Cliff Rodeo also happens to take place during the Father’s Day weekend. From June 12 to June 15, country music and country style will be front and centre. The number of attractions are way too many to list here, but rest assured they include horses, bulls, cowboys, live entertainment, dancing, a petting farm and a number of local artisans, food producers and farmers. In fact, the organizing committee sees the Rodeo as an ideal opportunity to showcase our local food, products and handicrafts. There’s no arguing with that!
