The next day, continue your journey to Vignoble de la Bauge, where organic wines pair perfectly with homemade terrines and charcuterie. End your stay in Brome Lake, a town renowned for its inns, restaurants and rich cultural program, as well as for the beauty of its natural environment. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to stop at several other vineyards, visit pretty villages, and (why not!) take a relaxing break at the spa!

Biking along the Wine Route

The Cycling Route is an unforgettable experience for those who love both fine food and riding. Four circuits allow you to discover the region at your own pace.

Stretching over 76 kilometres of mostly asphalt, the itinerary offers some challenging climbs that will put your calves to the test. As a reward, you’ll have the opportunity to visit five of the region’s vineyards. 

For the complete immersion, extend your stay in one of the many Bienvenue cyclistes! certified accommodations along the route.
