Boubou's Cabin
La Cabane à Boubou is run by three brothers, Patrick, Hugo, and Charles Bourassa, who have been passionate about maple syrup production for over 20 years. Since acquiring their first maple grove in 1998, they have recently expanded their production and diversified their offerings by acquiring the Bourbeau maple grove in Shefford.
Today, their product line has expanded to include a full variety of maple-based products, as well as homemade prepared meals.
That's not all, the Bourassa brothers also own the Shefford Distillery !
Meet them with this signature tour
The Prohibition Tour - Discover Granby and its region
Description
From barley to pint, from syrup to bottle or from hive to glass, this tour of three alcohol producers in the Granby region will lead you to discover alcohols and spirits that were once illegal, but which we love today!
Your day will begin in the heart of Waterloo, at the Robin - Bière Naturelle microbrewery, where beer is crafted like wine, with the cellar at the heart of their business model. The team will introduce you to their brewing process, emphasizing the slowness that allows for beers with an aromatic and wild profile resulting from their aging in barrels for 3 to 24 months, followed by another 6 to 8 weeks in bottles.
Next, head to Shefford to meet Charles Bourassa, owner of the Shefford Distillery, the first producer of Acerum in Quebec, a spirit made from the fermentation and distillation of maple reductose. During your visit, you'll discover how it's made, as well as how their vodka, whisky, and maple cream are made. Plus, you'll have the privilege of enjoying a gourmet aperitif filled with delicious local charcuterie and cheese. A perfect pairing with the distillery's products!
Finally, the tour will end in Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton at Miel Fontaine, where you'll discover mead. During your visit, owners Jacques and Louise will introduce you to the richness and history of this ancestral beverage made from fermented honey.
