Summer is a great season for savouring a wide variety of Quebec products. Some foodies will hit the city on a guided food tour or a gourmet dinner in a renowned restaurant, while others take to the countryside to follow a themed circuit or visit a farm in a bucolic setting. And what about vineyards, cider houses and microbreweries? These are places where tastings and friendly people go hand in hand. In addition, there are plenty of cheese factories, chocolate shops and honey farms offering delicious local products, made with know-how and pride!
