For those who prefer their sugar shack experience with a side of sophistication, Érablière du Ruisseau delivers. This vineyard and distillery in Brome-Missisquoi doesn’t just serve syrup—it pairs it with award-winning wines, gins, and eau de vies. The menu steps well beyond the usual fare, offering dishes like maple nugget waffles with smoked beet and sea buckthorn, or an île flottante dessert laced with eau de vie-infused English cream. Prices range from $35 to $56 per adult, with kids’ meals at $22 or $30. Originally a small family gathering spot in the 1940s, the Besner family has since expanded the site to include a reception hall, mezzanine, and terrace, while still maintaining its warm, convivial spirit. If you’re looking for a sugar shack experience that’s as refined as it is indulgent, this one’s worth the trip.
