Food and agritourism trails are a fantastic way to discover a place’s culinary heritage and explore the region itself. They are very well suited to day trippers and tourists and are also a great excuse to extend your stay. Of course, it goes without mentioning, how incredibly well they promote local products and participating businesses. As of 2023, there are over 50 food and agritourism trails across the province of Quebec.
Many stand out beyond the local products they promote, particularly those which incorporate active transportation. Some initiatives of note:
