5/5
We made a detour on the way back from Mont-Saint-Michel to Belgium and it worth it 100%.
We did not find any info online on opening hours and decided to just try the luck.
Apparently, this is a private estate with huge fruit garden where all magic happens, rather than any kind of industrial settlement. Follow Google maps navigation and do not afraid once it takes you down the unpaved forest road lined with trees, passing the paintball venue on your right - you are on the right way!
Cider itself is fantastic, three varieties were available, depending on the sweetness/dryness. We ended up having 2 card boxes, 6 of 0.75 l bottles in each, 2.8 EUR per bottle - real bargain!
But most notable was the social experience with Thomas, an owner of the place. He speaks English “a little bit” as per his confession, so you will not be let down!
We spent nice half-hour chatting on cider production, fermentation, yeast, sugar, density and many other interesting topics, all in the cellar where huge 1-ton wooden barrels are located, where the apple juice is actually fermented into the cider. Absolutely great experience overall, highly recommend!
