Sample the East - Discovering Seasonal Routes
"Sample the East - Discovering Seasonal Routes" is a series of curated single and multi-day trips. Each route is very localized with venues that highlight local foods and beverages along with outdoor adventures, arts, restaurants, and accommodations to make each trop unique and memorable.
Local and distant visitors will appreciate the suggestions that we have put forward to savour the local flavours, discover hidden gems, and connect with our people in eastern Ontario.
