Restore Your Energy at Beat & Betterave

When you arrive in Frelighsburg, plan to take a well-deserved break at the Beat & Betterave café/nanobrewery. You’ll be greeted by the smiling faces of owners Éloïse and Ludovic.

Admire the View from the Vineyard at Val Caudalie

Just under 4 km from your last stop, Val Caudalie appears at the top of the road after a somewhat steep climb! But it’s well worth the effort: the view from the vineyard’s covered terrace is exceptional! The fruit grown here is transformed into rare quality and delicious nectars. The wines and ciders produced by Val Caudalies have won numerous awards. The vineyard is easy to visit with a glass in hand, or perhaps you might also enjoy a tour of the orchard, the meadow and the forest. A not-to-be-missed country stop!

Enjoy a Stay in the Dunham Area

Extend your exploration of the region’s wine country by staying at the Villa du vignoble Clos Ste-Croix. In the heart of the town.

If you have time, book a vineyard tour to taste a few more of the wines produced here, while admiring some of the local works of art.

Enjoy a Change of Scenery on La Frontalière

Get your passport ready, because on this 85 km route you’ll be changing countries and exploring the Memphremagog region from the border and beyond. Before leaving Canada for the United States, you’ll have plenty of time to admire our typical Eastern Townships landscapes. You’ll start out in Ayer’s Cliff’s village centre and head towards Newport (Vermont). Take the Tomifobia Nature Trail, which runs alongside the river of the same name, offering some wonderful discoveries in a pristine natural environment. A challenging but nonetheless accessible loop for intermediate level cyclists!

Admire the Saint-Benoît-du-Lac Abbey

At the end of the day, head out from Ayer’s Cliff to the other side of the Memphremagog region. A jewel perched above the water, the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac is without doubt one of the most emblematic features of the Eastern Townships. Founded in 1912, the monastery’s geometric architecture attracts and fascinates. It seems perfectly adapted to the surrounding nature. The monks who live here have clearly understood this principle, by choosing to plant apple trees on the land (accessible for self-picking) and by making cheese. All their products are also available in their boutique. Stop by, before you leave!
