Tours Voir Québec takes event attendees on a Taste Trail to Île d’Orléans, a bucolic island just a 20-minute drive from downtown Québec. As participants travel through each village on the island and meet local farmers, they will appreciate the burst of flavours from vineyards, cassis- and cider-producers, sugar shacks in the spring, nougat makers and much more. Tours Voir Québec also hosts a behind-the-scenes gastronomy experience in Old Québec with a 2 ½ hour walking tour to taste typical specialities from various shops and bistros.

Much like the sprawling markets found elsewhere in the world, Grand Marché de Québec (Québec Market) is a contemporary gourmet and regional food destination for discovering new products. It features aisles and aisles of decadent finds, with over a hundred producers and processors from the region. Grande Marché also hosts many activities throughout the year for participants to learn about the latest agrifood innovations and Québec culinary traditions. While no official food tours are organized, event attendees can be “let loose” to embark on their own food adventures!

Québec City Food Tours offers epicurean jaunts in both Old Québec and the city’s St-Roch neighbourhood so that attendees can uncover Québec City’s hidden culinary gems and less-traveled streets. The tours, which are by foot, last approximately three hours and include many stops along the way. Participating restaurants and bistros create exclusive experiences so that attendees enjoy exclusive meals and samples. Guides even make sure to highlight the nutritional value or quirky background of what people are eating!
