History of Levis and Tasting at the Ostara Market

  • 2 hours (approx.)

  • Mobile ticket

  • Offered in: English

In 2026, we continue our historic tour of Old Levis followed by the discovery of the Lévis Farmers’ Point of Sale. This discovery of fresh and processed products by Chaudière - Appalachian farmers began in 2025 since the Ostara Point of Sale is at the Terrasse de Lévis. These visits take place on Sunday mornings from July 5 to September 20. If you are arriving by ferry from Quebec, please notify us. Here is a different way to experience your summer weekends. We organize the same type of discovery with tasting on Saturdays in July and August 2026 at the Cap-Rouge Point of Sale in Quebec City. Our mission as an NPO is to encourage the local economy by showing places outside the city circuits. We work in the social economy because we believe that visits outside of the too well-known places allow to discover new places while encouraging local shops. Looking forward to making you discover our city!
