The Island of Orleans was absolutely beautiful! We traveled in October and the colours of autumn were out in full force! This was a perfect way to see some of the island and also taste some of its offerings. We encountered lovely people at each stop, and the tastings were fabulous - our 8-year-old son particularly enjoyed the chocolaterie and nougaterie. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. This was one of our favourite activities in Quebec!
