Go back in time when walking the cobblestone streets of Old Québec. The historic Quartier Petit Champlain offers quaint boutiques and delicious cafés. Wander along Dufferin Terrace for beautiful views of St. Lawrence River, which provides a backdrop for romantic moments and the perfect photo. Next, head to Montmorency Falls and marvel at the beauty of the frozen cascade. Those feeling a bit adventurous can cross the suspension bridge or ride the cable car over the falls. When night rolls around, enjoy a unique dining experience at North America’s first-ever restaurant made completely of snow and ice. The Ice Restaurant offers a Nordic-inspired menu and a one-of-a-kind experience. End your night with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the snow-covered streets of Old Québec. While there, make Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac your homebase.

Day 2: Serenity in the Eastern Townships

Pack up your things and embark on a 2.5-hour drive through rolling hills, snow-capped trees and charming villages. Chalets Hygge is the perfect place to stay while in the area thanks to its private chalets. Once settled, head to Domaine des Côtes d’Ardoise, one of Québec’s oldest vineyards, for a romantic afternoon of wine tasting with a wintery landscape. Couples looking for relaxation can take a 30-minute drive to Balnea Spa + Reserve Thermale, which has outdoor baths, saunas and world-class spa treatments. For dinner, enjoy the best the region has to offer with a farm-to-table experience at Auberge West Brome.

Spend your last day in the great outdoors in Mont-Orford National Park, where you can explore snowshoeing trails winding through peaceful forests and offering panoramic mountain views. Afterwards, make your way back to Québec City and stop at the thrilling Au 1884 toboggan slide. This historic attraction offers stunning views while travelers speed down the hill. Be sure to grab a pair of skates and glide around the ice-skating rink at Place D’Youville.
