The Itinerary

Rougemont is unquestionably Quebec's apple capital. This Montérégie village is surrounded by over 50 orchards and a dozen recognized cideries. In autumn, the slopes of Rougemont mountain (one of the Montérégiennes) turn red and gold.

Quebec ice cider, recognized as an international appellation, was born in Montérégie. Estates like Clos Saragnat, Coteau Saint-Jacques and Michel Jodoin make Rougemont a must-visit for fine cider lovers. Apple picking is a beloved family experience.
