Saint-Joseph-du-Lac
The municipality of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac will enchant nature and agrotourism lovers with its numerous orchards and vineyards. Only on the chemin Principal, you will find an interpretation centre, a cider house, an orchard and a vineyard! The Centre d’interprétation de la Courge du Québec invites you to pick squashes or pumpkins in the beautiful vegetable garden, visit the interpretation centre, taste squash recipes and visit the country-style shops.
At the Cidrerie Les vergers Lafrance, you will have the chance to taste different ciders, some of which won prestigious prizes. You can also buy some of the delicious products. A little farther on the same street, the Verger POMMMALEFUN proposes interesting activities for younger ones. During the weekends in fall, Marie Quatre Pommes tells stories to the children and teaches them everything there is to know about apples. You will have the chance to pick your own apples, visit the little farm and go on a tractor ride up to the duck pond. A country-style shop will also allow you to taste and buy juice, jam and jelly. For those who like sweets, the Chocolaterie Pommalefun proposes fine chocolates made with fresh fruit.
The last stop on the chemin Principal is the Vignoble La Roche des Brises where you will find 45,000 vines and 3,000 apple trees on the hillside. The magical scenery recalls the Californian vineyards. It will also be possible to go on guided and commented visits. Located in the heart of the village of Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, the Verger Lamarche is another orchard you can visit. You can pick your own fruit, go on a tractor ride, visit the little farm and taste delicious Breton pancakes and home-made desserts at the café-bistro.
