Below are a few dozen orchards ("vergers" in French) within an hour's driving distance from Montreal. Apple hot spots like Rougemont and Mont St. Hilaire are renowned for their orchards but you might find end-of-season lineups and overall traffic less than appeasing at these highly frequented vergers. Consider trying out Frelighsburg and Dunham, both almost border towns, or St. Joseph-du-Lac on the North Shore as alternatives, with their own share of lesser-known yet picture perfect orchards.
If you want to go apple picking but don't have a car or would like to leave it at home, then grab the train with Pommes-en-Train.
