SAQ Inspire Event

Foodie getaway to Cabane Au Pied de Cochon

Thursday, March 26, 2026 | 3 to 11 p.m. | Cabane à sucre du Pied de Cochon | Festive dinner

Published on February 11, 2026

Up your sugar shack game

Come enjoy an evening in the heart of a landmark of Québec gastronomy: Cabane Au Pied de Cochon. This one‑of‑a‑kind experience showcases the bold, generous world of Martin Picard, where pork, maple, and the great sugar‑shack classics are celebrated in a vibrant, festive atmosphere. For this getaway to Mirabel, guests will enjoy an all‑inclusive experience with coach transportation from Montréal or Laval. The evening begins with a tour of the cabane and a welcome aperitif, followed by a signature Pied de Cochon meal served family‑style at large communal tables. A unique opportunity to celebrate an iconic slice of Québec’s gourmet culture in a setting as legendary as it is inviting.

Bubbles and expertly paired cocktails will be served throughout the evening. And for the occasion, we invite you to bring out your finest plaid shirt or your best sugar‑shack attire — the atmosphere will be wonderfully festive.
