Don’t ruin your appetite! We are going to Sucrerie Blouin to savour a scrumptious québecois brunch! 

VEQ will provide transportation from its offices to the sugar shack (in Île d’Orléans) and back to the office. We are scheduled to arrive at 10:40 AM and meals will be served at 11:30 AM.

Upon arrival, you can visit some of the animals found on their small farm or ride the cart pulled by a horse to tour the property and learn how maple syrup is produced.

Are you ready to live one of the most memorable local traditions?!
