From Rang Saint-Antoine to Bas-de-la-Baie and downtown Baie-Saint-Paul, there are plenty of places to sample exceptional local products. At the Volières de Baie-Saint-Paul, the team offers free tastings of wild boar terrines, guinea fowl rillettes and sweet confits. Once your belly’s full, you can stock up at the shop, and even learn about the animals on a fun interpretation trail.

Head to Bas-de-la-Baie to enjoy the briny smell of the river at low tide, bask in the peacefulness of the area, and sample ciders and spirits made from wild apples. Foodies will be welcomed with open arms by Nicolas, the friendly host who offers samples of his farmhouse ciders, apple brandy and other spirits made with love in his huge white and blue barn. The Verger-Cidrerie Baie St-Pomme is a hidden treasure – the perfect place to stop and chat about local products over a glass of Soif Sauvage!

Next, go for a stroll down Saint-Jean-Baptiste Street. Explore downtown Baie-Saint-Paul and discover exciting businesses such as Hydromel Charlevoix, whose enthusiastic team produces wines and spirits made with local honey and offers several tasting options directly on site.
