Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Sucrerie de la Montagne, 300 Chem. Saint-Georges, Rigaud, QC J0P 1P0, CanadaYou private day tour of Montreal area sugar shack will start with hotel-motel-airbnb pick up for your group at 9am. Your destination is aprox 45 min drive in  a beautiful scenic  mountain country side. March and April are high season months at the Sugar Shack and  your group will  experience real Québec traditions. Here, the maple syrup is produced the old-fashioned way: the tree is tapped with a spout, the sap collected in a pail and transported to a traditional wood-fired evaporator, where it is transformed into maple syrup. Once you understand and explore the location, it is time to eat: • An all-you-can-eat sugaring off feast served at tables: Soupe au pois du Montagnard (mountain dweller’s pea soup), pain croûté de la paysanne (farm-style crusty bread), jambon fumé à l’érable (maple-smoked ham), fèves au lard de chantier (wood-fired baked beans), omelette soufflée de la fermière (farm-style omelette soufflé), saucisses de campagne (country-style sausages), ragoût de boulettes (traditional meatball stew), grillades de lard (grilled salt pork), pommes de terre pilées à l’ancienne (old-style mashed potatoes), tourtière de la beauceronne (meat pie from Québec’s Beauce region), homemade fruit ketchup & pickles). For dessert: sugar pie, pancakes with maple syrup, tea and coffee); After all this food, if you can still move is time to explore some more of this unique  Quebec experience with some sweetness: • Maple-taffy-on-snow tasting; warm maple syrup is poured on fresh snow in perfect little rows. The idea is to let the liquid syrup set a bit in the snow then to roll it around a popsicle stick and enjoy like a lollipop. Kids and adults of all ages enjoy this ritual the best and no sugar shack meal is complete without it.Late afternoon is time to head back to your hotel-motel-airbnb. The hour of drive back will allow your private driver-guide to tell more about other Montreal area activities. You will arrive back around 3-4pm after a wonderful unique travel experience that will certainly be a lifetime memory Duration: 3 hours

Traveler Reviews

We had a wonderful tour. Chris, our tour guide, did a great job. The meal at the sucrerie was delicious. We loved the atmosphere, and meeting the owner. A perfect day, well worth the money.

Chris picked us up in a comfortable SUV. We picked up one other couple. It was so nice to have a semi-private drive to the Sugar Shack, so much better than a large bus group. Chris was knowledgable and very friendly. Learning about the maple syrup process was amazing and the brunch was so good. We loved pouring maple syrup on everything. A highlight was the maple taffy poured on snow. Next time I am in Montreal, I will get in touch with Chris and ask him to take us on another tour. I highly recommend the Sugar Shack tour.
