One ice wine had won a top prize in a recent regional competition. I have tasted my share of ice wines, and these would easily rank among the very best. The service at the tasting was great. the cost is 3$ for a wine tasting or 3$ for an ice wine tasting. (The fee is waved if you make a purchase. There are also discounts for larger purchases.) The server who waited on me was friendly and informative. In addition to the tasting area, the beautiful white house of this winery has a large dining area for meals and private events.

An early October journey thru the Orleans island was wonderful, and many stops to choose from. The Cassis production was unique and offer a self guided educational tour. We learned about their history fruit and production in this building. Then went across the yard to the tasting room and gift shop and restaurant bar area. A lot of good things happening here. But It was so busy I waited at the counter to order a cocktail made with cassis but no one was there to help me. So I went to taste the samples of thier products and the gal was less than knowledgeable and the samples were restricted to two thimble tastes. Ok I get it very popular place. I bought an us-tasted madeira in hopes it's quality. This place it really a hit but the service didn't deliver.

The grilled cheese and fries were both cooked super well and hit the spot. The duck poutine was also good, but I will say the gravy was a little fruity from the blackcurrant which wasn't my favorite. Additionally, we tried the blackcurrant sorbet, which wasn't bad but was quite tart. All in all a good experience though and would recommend checking it out!

Service was great and they describe all the wines to you before going outside to choose the many different seating options with an amazing view of the vineyard and water fall in the distance. The selection of wines was great. We got the tasting bucket with two whites, one red, and one rose. The red was so delicious I had to get another glass after. We also decided to get pizza from their food selection too along with focaccia bread. The pizza is some of the best wood fire oven pizza I have ever had. Amazing crust char and the pepperoni wasn't too greasy at all. The bread was soft and warm with a great outside crust. We took a walk after the lunch and wine down the path to see the waterfall view. Everything about this place is great. If you're in the area I highly recommend coming here for a chill afternoon with a party of any size! You won't be disappointed

Which I didn't think I could find outside of a French one ! We had a very informative guide who showed us some areas of the winery where they let their wines age in barrels and their kitchen area where they do dinners . I wish it had been a nicer day and not rainy and cool for us to enjoy the outside area. The Rosè like I said was nice and crisp and dry . Then we also tried a red which was pretty dry. Very quaint winery but nice local feel . Probably lovely on a pretty day !

My review of this verger is mainly of their boutique store and not of the actual orchards and…read morequality of their apples. I was here much too early in the season to enjoy fresh apples. I hope to come back in season and check out their varietals of apples and hopefully some of the extremely crunch and ultra juicy and delicious honey crisp. Looking back on one of the great gems of the province of Quebec is the apple orchards that we have in areas of the province. When. I first moved here I was introduced to the fall activity of "cuilleur des pommes" (picking apples) which I believe is the most fantastic family activity for fall. For me this is a right of fall to take a tractor ride take a big 10 pound bag and fill it full of the most juicy-tart apples that you take home to make sauce, pies and apple crisps. Living in the Montreal region we tend to go to orchards nearby in Laval or if we want a treat St Joseph Du Lac. SJDL is the premiere area on the north shore with many orchards and places that do cider also. They do still cider, sparkling cider and the creme de la creme "cidre du glace" iced apple cider. There is also jams, jellies and fresh apple juice available. Most all cideries do multiple products. I've never been to the Rougemont area on the S Shore but I imagine orchards produce similar products. Fast forward to Ciderie et Verger St Nicolas. I had some inside information that this was the premiere place for apple related products in the QC Capital region. So..... I told myself I had to stop by here. After a quick look in their shop they have more products than any of the orchards in the Montreal area that vie visited. Their selections of jams, jellies, fresh fruit syrups juice and ciders is impeccable. On my visit I was fortunate they had some fresh apple sauce. I bought six bottles in large and small. The flavour is unlike any sauce nice had before. It's so silky you could feed to a baby but so tasty it's incredibly fresh. Also they had Apple must- sparkling apple juice made with Honey crisp apples. We cracked a bottle on the weekend and it was the best sparkling apple juice I've had. Not too sweet but so fresh and crisp in flavour. I purchased a bunch of jellies and other products including their iced cider. Folks.....this is the best orchard- cider producer I've visited in the province. Their products I will declare I find are better than anywhere I've had in the Montreal region. It's 15 minutes from the Pierre Laporte bride on the S shore of Quebec City. So damm good I will be back to spend another boatload of money it's that amazing!

I think she might have been thrown into it last minute as she seemed very nervous! Their tasting room was nice and they sold their apples they grow too. Cute little spot . Wine is ok.
