Fall is the season of the foodie. Market stalls are overflowing with the freshest produce, restaurants are tailoring their menus for the season, and warm drinks are finally making their yearly comeback. There’s no time like autumn to discover new flavours, and no place like Moncton-Dieppe to get started!
Toast to the Season
A good glass of wine pairs perfectly with a crisp evening and great company. Fall is one of the best and most beautiful times to visit one of Moncton-Dieppe local wineries. The grounds are buzzing with activity during the grape harvest, and the surrounding foliage is brilliantly coloured for the occasion. If you’re in for a truly unique fall experience, be sure to keep an eye out for public harvest events!

Seafood
Many of Atlantic Canada’s fishing seasons open when temperatures get cooler, making fall the perfect time to visit Moncton-Dieppe and enjoy seafood at its freshest. In the greater Moncton-Dieppe area alone, there are dozens of delicious seafood restaurants to choose from, and countless amazing meals to try at every price point!

If you’re looking to cook some seafood yourself at your vacation rental, or even bring some home, the city’s fish markets can hook up. The markets’ fishmongers are extremely knowledgeable and can answer any questions you have about selection and cooking methods. Pro tip: The Moncton Fish Market and Big Fish Market have live lobster packed in a carry-on box to take on your plane ride home!
