Cidrerie Michel Jodoin - Rougemont

The location is lovely, and the staff are very friendly. The cider products are of exceptional quality. They even recommended a fantastic lunch spot nearby.

This was my second visit to Cidrerie Michel Jodoin, and I was just as satisfied this time as I was during my first visit. Instead of taking the guided tour, which I found very informative on my previous trip, we went straight to the cider tasting—an experience that truly exceeded expectations. Our hostess was exceptional; she quickly adjusted our tasting selection when she learned that we weren’t fans of sweet ciders, replacing them with options that better matched our tastes. The result? Two very happy customers and plenty of delighted exclamations! Naturally, we ended up purchasing a good number of bottles to take home, plus we enjoyed a refreshing small glass of their crisp, hop-infused cider on the lovely terrace. The terrace offers a stunning view of the surrounding area from the base of the hill. If you're feeling adventurous on a Sunday, there's an excellent hiking trail leading to an even more breathtaking viewpoint. There are also picnic tables in the orchards, which are perfect for enjoying a snack alongside a bottle of their delicious apple wine.

The liver is a remarkable organ. Not only does it detoxify substances and aid in digestion (which is probably my favorite function), but it is also found only in vertebrates. It's worth noting that liver dishes can also be quite delicious (I'm all about foie gras). Livers are large and pink, so generally, it's advisable to consume alcohol in moderation. However, if I had to indulge in a wide selection of drinks, the ciders produced by Mssr. Michel Jodoin would definitely rank among my top three. I always make sure to buy cases of these incredible craft ciders when I visit my beloved Montreal, even if it means putting my liver through a bit of a wild ride. In fact, a fascinating aspect of the liver is its unique ability to regenerate. So here's to new livers for everyone!

While I was familiar with their citizens, I bought them for summer pick-nic's I only heard from this place when I was looking for a nice hike, the dog is friendly. Yeah, you heard a hike. This is a fantastic apple wine place, they give a free tour that teaches about the history of the place and a great cedar teasing session free as well. They also have a puppet picnic area with tables and sometimes they bring a band and also sell food. And how many places in the area they have apple picks. But get back to the hike, its hard to find a dog friendly hike in Quebec (I have no idea why), for 3$ p/p (they trust you to tell them and pay) you can have a nice hike, not too hard, which is shaded and show you some beautiful views. The path starts next to her house from the picnic area, so I suggest starting with the tour, going for the hike and ending in a picnic with her big cedar. This is really a place for everyone!

Second time at Cidrerie Michel Jodoin and I'm as satisfied from my visit as I was the first time. We did not opt for the guided tour, which I have done and find very informative, instead we went directly to the cider tasting, which was a world class experience. Our hostess was exclusively amazing, as soon as she found out we don't like sweet ciders she changed the bottles selected for tasting with some others that are closer to our preferences. The result was two very happy faces and a lot of wow exclamations. Of course we ended up buying some decent amount of bottles for home and an extra small one of the crispy hopes infused cider to share at the terrace. And what a terrace it is, beautiful view of the area from the bottom of the hill. In case you'd like to have more active Sunday then us you may wish to profit from the hiking trail that will bring you up to an even better view point. There are also picnic tables in the orchards, perfect for some snack and a bottle of delicious cider.
