Few things feel more Québécois in the fall than a day at the orchard: crisp air, coloured leaves, a bag of Honeycrisp and maybe a cider tasting on the way home. But the season doesn’t last forever, and by late October many orchards are winding down their pick-your-own. If apple picking is still on your fall bucket list, this is the time to go.
Here are 10 orchards near Montreal recommended by Tourisme Montréal. Always check the orchard’s website or call before heading out, since picking availability changes quickly at the end of the season.
West of the Island
1. Quinn Farm
2495 Perrot Blvd., Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot. A West Island family favourite, just a short drive off the island.
2. Verger Labonté
2291 Perrot Blvd., Notre-Dame-de-l’Île-Perrot. Another Île-Perrot option, so you can make it a two-orchard afternoon.
Oka and Saint-Joseph-du-Lac
The Deux-Montagnes area is apple country, and it’s also near Oka National Park, where fall colours are forecast to peak around the third week of October. See our fall colours guide.
3. Labonté de la Pomme – Verger & Miellerie
405 rang de l’Annonciation, Oka. An orchard and honey producer in one stop.
4. Cidrerie Lacroix
649 Chemin Principal, Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. Pick apples, then check out the cider.
5. Verger Richard Legault
425 Binette St., Saint-Joseph-du-Lac.
6. La Tête dans les Pommes
1673 Chemin Principal, Saint-Joseph-du-Lac.
7. La Magie de la Pomme
925 chemin Fresnière, Saint-Eustache.
8. Verger Cidrerie PB711
Also on Tourisme Montréal’s list of orchards around the city. Check its website for details.
South Shore and Eastern Townships
9. Vergers & Cidrerie Denis Charbonneau
575 Rang de la Montagne, Mont-Saint-Grégoire. In the Montérégie, a classic orchard and cider region.
10. Au Coeur de la Pomme
42 Route 237 North, Frelighsburg. Worth the drive for the Eastern Townships scenery alone.
Tips for Your Orchard Day
- Call ahead: End-of-season picking depends on what’s left on the trees and the weather.
- Dress for mud: Fall rain plus orchards means boots, not sneakers.
- Bring a cooler bag: For cider, honey and anything else you pick up at the farm stand.
- Go in the morning: Smaller crowds, better light, and you’ll be back in the city for dinner.
