Just 15 minutes from downtown Québec City, cross the bridge to Île d'Orléans, where agriculture and history beautifully intertwine. Known as the cradle of French presence in North America since 1534, this island is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets. Immerse yourself in a 3-hour farm and food tour through Île d’Orléans’ rich flavours and scenic landscapes.

We start at La Ferme le Bunker, a 5th-generation family farm with pumpkins, squash, and a Cold War anti-nuclear bunker from 1964. Next, visit La Ferme François Gosselin, renowned for its strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Then, stroll through the sugarbush to taste local maple products while learning about this Canadian tradition.

The tour concludes at the rooftop terrace of Motel Île d'Orléans, where you can soak in panoramic views of Québec City and the St. Lawrence River while sampling black garlic, blackcurrant jam, and local cheeses.
