The Quebec Eastern Townships is one of the prettiest places in Canada. Reminiscent of the rolling hills of Scotland & Ireland, immigrant Celts found themselves establishing farms in this historic area of the 'new world'.
The bride spent all the summers of her youth on Bissell road, a continuation of the scenic Brown's Hill drive. The bride is all grown up now and the wine of Bissell road is ripe for enjoyment. Stop by this quaint vineyard to sample a glass of vine, purchase a bottle or two (14-16$ each) and take in local art work at the upstairs gallery.
