The summer of 2020 brought its load of adaptations for Quebec\u2019s tourism industry. Many vineyards of the Route des vins de\u00a0Brome-Missisquoi have seized this opportunity to attune themselves by offering their visitors some new experiences. Here\u2019s an overview of these new propositions along with a few more classic and well-known activities to enjoy on the Route des vins this season.<\/p>\n

Wine Tasting Surrounded by Grapevines<\/h2>\n
