On site, it is possible to taste its range of natural ciders, all fermented naturally, without input, sulphite or filtration, and also to take a guided tour for those who would like to know more.
Peckish ? Luckily, the cider works with three restaurants in the region: La Famille Buvette, L’Archipel and Passe-Montagne. Alternately, each week they will offer a delicious locally sourced picnic basket for two, at a cost of $50, which includes a bottle of cider of your choice. A small gourmet shop allows you to complete with sausages and cheeses from the region.
