EASTERN TOWNSHIPS, FEATURED QUEBEC REGION
Les Cantons-de-l’Est

Peppered with mountains, glacial lakes and rivers, and with large expanses of woods stretching along the US border, the Eastern Townships, the cradle of Quebec's budding wine industry, is known for its exquisite products and fine restaurants.

At the Jean-Talon Market and some of the Festival's Finest Tables, chefs and food/wine producers from this southeastern Quebec region are revealing treasures from this plentiful land.
