With summer in the rearview mirror, the question is: Where will your autumn take you?
From classics like apple picking and pumpkin patches to scenic gondola rides, colourful hikes and nights spent under the stars, fall in Québec gives you plenty of reasons to get out of the city.
And when you call Montreal home, having the right car means the best experiences are just a drive away. Compact enough for everyday city driving but equipped with available AWD and safety features for heading farther afield, the 2027 Honda HR-V is ready to adventure whenever you are.

So grab your favourite sweater, queue up the road-trip playlist and make the most of the season with these seven fall experiences around Québec.
Pick apples at Labonté de la pomme
Why You Need To Go: Few things say fall like wandering through an orchard with a basket in hand. At Labonté de la pomme – Verger & Cidrerie in Oka, apple-picking season runs from mid-August to mid-October, with different varieties ripening throughout the season.
Stick around for a walk through the orchard and maple grove or grab something tasty from the Apple Shack before heading home (good thing the 2027 Honda HR-V has plenty of room for your haul).

Take your time exploring the vineyard, discover a new favourite bottle and enjoy the scenery before hitting the road again (with a designated driver behind the wheel, of course).

Wander around, soak up the autumn atmosphere and pick out a pumpkin to bring home.

Unwind in nature at Balnea

Why You Need To Go: There’s no better way to see the changing leaves than getting right in among them. At Mont-Sutton, you can hike through the mountain’s forests and up to scenic viewpoints overlooking the Eastern Townships.
Plus, the 2027 Honda HR-V’s fold-down rear seats mean there’s plenty of room for hiking gear (and a few extra layers for those crisp mornings).

Why You Need To Go: Trade city lights for one of Québec’s most spectacular nighttime views. Mont-Mégantic is home to the world’s first International Dark Sky Reserve, where efforts to limit light pollution make the night sky the star of the show.
Visit the ASTROLab for an evening of astronomy, with presentations followed by stargazing through telescopes when skies are clear.
