You’ve most probably heard of sugar shacking, that mysterious springtime activity ? If you’ve ever wondered what a “cabane à sucre” or sugar shack really is and what really happens at this place, here it is:
Sugar shacks are popular in Eastern Canada because of Mother Nature, basically. You see, sugar maple trees love cold winters and in order for the sap to flow in the spring, the trees need cold nights and warm sunny days, which is exactly what we have here in Québec. Fun fact: Canada produces about 80 per cent of the world’s pure maple syrup, and Québec alone makes up over 90 % of the country’s production. In 2016 alone, Québec produced approximately 71.4% of the global production (source: FPAQ). And we make the best maple syrup in the world!

Fabulous day on this tour. Picked up on time and had a lovely spacious car there and back. Knowledgeable tour guide (Sorinel) who was wonderful and as I was visiting alone ate with me in the sugar shack to ensure I had company and could make the most of the experience. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend this trip.

It was a wonderful cultural, historical and gastronomic experience, highly recommended if you are in the area during the sugar shack period. Chris was a great host in every way, and having just four of us made for a special intimate event. Highly recommended!
