“Food, Fitness and Culture – Gourmet Food, Biking & Art Tour”

If you have a passion for art, fine food and easy-going cycling through pastoral landscapes, this trip is for you!

A new spin on the Tour Des Arts

Wood & Westland puts a new spin on the Tour Des Arts, a popular studio tour showcasing the work of some 40 Eastern Townships’ artists and artisans. What better way to meet these talented folk and visit their country studios - than by bike? Feel free to buy as much as you like. Our van will transport your purchases to your next inn.

Wake up in a charming B&B tucked away in the quiet countryside. Linger over a hearty country breakfast, then spend the day cycling to various studios, historic sites, vineyards, apple orchards, and more. Rejuvenate tired muscles with a spa stop, next to a gushing waterfall, just steps from your next B&B. End each day with a gourmet dinner featuring our renowned regional specialties.

Scenic landscapes and flexible scheduling

The rolling mountains, rivers and lakes of the Quebec Eastern Townships provide the perfect scenic gallery for this 6-day, art-themed bike tour. The trip offers you enough flexibility to enjoy as much or as little activity as you like. Explore on your own or in the company of others. Spend more time at a particularly captivating studio, or relax over a steamy cappuccino in one of our charming villages.

Our knowledgeable local guides will accompany you throughout your journey, explaining the geography, history and local lore. They will keep you well-fueled with snacks and gourmet picnic lunches; and even give you a lift in the van should you need a break from your bike.
