What to expect
Maple and the butter tart, at your pace
Your guide meets your group and opens at a maple shop before the public is let in, for a private tasting of syrups with a sweet treat alongside. From there it's a hundred-year-old bakery for the butter tart, Canada's gooey pastry classic, with the town's history told between bites. Because it's just your party, you linger where you like and ask whatever you want.
Charcuterie and poutine
Next is a charcuterie board built around premium Canadian cheeses, with fruit and bread, as your guide traces the region's dairy tradition. Then comes poutine, crispy fries under squeaky curds and hot gravy, the comfort dish no Canadian trip skips. It's the savory middle of the meal, unhurried and yours.
"On a private tour I can actually follow your lead. If you fall for the ice wine, we slow down and go deeper. The day bends around your group, not a schedule."

"The maple shop opens early just for us. It's you, the owner, and a row of syrups before the town wakes up. That sets the whole tone for the whole day."
