We’re on a mission. My husband Wayne and I are hot on the trail of Stone Stash, a secret cache located somewhere in the rolling hills of Quebec’s Eastern Townships. The moment we cross the Missisquoi River, I punch the coordinates for the spot into my brand-new GPS (Global Positioning System) unit, a little box of technology that fits snugly, if not exactly comfortably, into the palm of my hand.

The Missisquoi not only marks the southwestern edge of the Townships but heralds our entry into the Brome-Missisquoi region, a few hundred square kilometres of farmland and forests nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians, the 400-million-year-old spine that secures the east coast of North America. An hour’s drive southeast of Montréal, resting just north of the Vermont border, this lovely pocket is neatly tucked among deep glacial lakes — Champlain, Memphrémagog and Brome — creating the balmiest microclimate in la belle province, warm enough to grow grapes for the many wineries that are springing up on south-facing hillsides.
