Verger aux hirondelles

This organic farm, certified by Ecocert Canada, produces apples, pears, sour cherries, flowers, garlic, nuts, dried fruit, spreads and cider vinegar. Feel free to walk around or take a guided tour. The view of the surrounding mountains is magnificent!

Cidrerie du Minot

Anyone familiar with Brittany, France knows that it produces excellent ciders. Well, the owners of Cidrerie du Minot hail from that region, which is a good sign! They are very adept at blending Breton tradition with Québec apples.

In 2005, this vineyard suffered a spring frost that destroyed half its vines. But the determined and creative owners planted new vines, along with some pear trees. The result: white, red and ice wine, and a delectable pear ice wine.
