"ABOUT OUR CIDERY"
We specialize in a Normandy Style Cider.
Our family produces a handcrafted traditional French cider, which has a lighter texture and is more wine-like. The ciders are dry, crisp and refreshing; richly complex with fruit, natural tannins, sugars and higher acidity. These all come together to create a cider that pairs deliciously with all types of food.
The cider apples are grown at our orchard on Washington Island. By slowly planting cider cultivars from France, England and America, we tested the types of apples that would work best with the island’s climate and rocky limestone soil. We grow 30 apple cultivars from sharps to bitter-sharps to dessert apples, 10 varieties of pear, totaling in 2000 apple and 400 pear trees.
Come visit our Door County Cider House. Enjoy a flight tasting, or a full glass of your favorite variety, and see where the handcrafted cider is fermented and bottled.
