Sutton Cœur Villageois
The town belongs to the Coeurs Villageois group parented by Tourism Eastern Townships. The very nature of the outdoor activities in Sutton qualifies it as a mountain Village by its committed community. The Coeurs Villageois are so named due to their warm welcome, the offer of high quality local products and their attractions and activities.
Sutton, on the Wine Route
Three magnificent wineries that are an integral part of the famous Wine Route that criss-crosses Brome-Missisquoi, are in the Sutton area. A terrific place to picnic and to stock up on an array of wine-inspired products is the Domaine Bresee Winery. The natural beauty and its unique architecture distinguishes the Château Ste-Agnes Winery from the 21 wineries on the Wine Route for its breathtaking decor. What distinguishes the Domaine Girourard Winery is the innovative production method using a chai built on two levels allowing for gravity and not pumping for many wine-making procedures.
