No gimmicks, no distractions—just old-school maple syrup making, done right. For four generations, Cabane du Pic Bois has been tapping trees the traditional way, using buckets and wood-fired boiling to craft some of the finest syrup in the Eastern Townships. Their standout? A maple vinegar with a rich, bittersweet depth that rivals balsamic, perfect for foie gras, meats, or just about anything that could use a kick of acidity. During sugaring season, they keep it simple: guided tours by reservation, drop-in tastings on weekends, and a no-fuss menu of maple pancakes and taffy on snow. If you’re after a sugar shack experience that’s all about the craft, this is the place.
