Local gastronomy, breweries and vineyards

In recent years, eastern Canada's culinary heritage has experienced marked growth. This movement could even be described as a gastronomic revolution. This culinary enthusiasm is reflected in the international reputation of numerous Quebec chefs, the sheer number of recipe books flying off the shelves, the growing number of renowned restaurants, the popularity of food events, gastronomic festivals of every kind, the diversification of culinary culture, and more. 

The success of Quebec cuisine lies in the quality and diversity of its produce: delicious berries; well-rooted vegetables  ; wild-harvested plants; more than 500 varieties of cheese; an endless array of seafood; game and meats; and, of course, maple delicacies... Quebec also boasts a wide range of local drinks. From microbrewery beers to every type of cider and dessert wine, meads or maple-based drinks — let yourself be tempted by the sheer variety of options!

Ontario, for its part, is home to around a hundred varied wine estates in the south of the province: the Niagara-on-the-Lake region, the north shore of Lake Erie, Pelee Island, and Prince Edward County. The province is known for its innovative wines, but you'll also discover more unusual gems, such as fruit stands, parks and historic sites. Even if its total area of 1,076,395 km² might seem dizzying, the charm of its terroir will quickly make you forget that, offering every pleasure of a traditional wine-growing environment.
