Enjoy Haut-Richelieu

In autumn, living in the moment means preserving traditions, and the perfect activity for this is apple picking in the region’s orchards. Harvest these fruits with family to enjoy the fresh air, with friends to relax, or alone to bring home delicious treasures and recipe ideas. Apples are a region’s favorite. Although apple picking seems like a local tradition, it dates back to the era of New France when the first apple trees appeared. It’s a tradition deeply rooted in local history, as cherished as corn cultivation or maple syrup harvesting.

As the autumn colors emerge, the air cools, and the sunsets come earlier, an outdoor picnic becomes a rediscovery of a simple activity with an autumnal twist! The Haut-Richelieu picnic circuits combine road trips and agritourism. Meet local producers who will recommend the best products for your picnic, then head to a perfect spot for your tasting. Enjoy a delightful and authentic experience in the heart of nature!
