Cidrerie Verger Bilodeau

Really interesting cidrerie experience. Not many places seem to stay open past peak fall season on the island, so this was a nice find. I’ve been to a handful of cidreries in the U.S. (mostly in Vermont), but this felt fundamentally different. Instead of focusing on lower-ABV hard ciders, the experience here was much closer to wine (higher alcohol levels, multi-year aging etc). Beyond traditional ciders, they offered apple-infused desserts and condiments, ice ciders, and even apple juice fortified with brandy. Their signature ice cider was richer and sweeter than what I’m used to, but still nicely balanced. Like ice wine, the apples are left to freeze on the trees during Quebec’s harsh winters, which allows sugars and flavor to concentrate. Their regular “Nectar de glace” tasted similar in sweetness to the three-year-aged ice cider, but I was surprised to learn that the aged cider itself actually had a lower sugar content and a much cleaner finish. What I liked the most was that tastings were available for most of the selections, which made it easy to understand the range before committing to a bottle. Highly recommend a visit if you’re curious about apple ice cider.

The sparkling apple cider is so good! I also got the apple butter and apple jelly, both are delicious. The tasting experience is fun!

Wonderful tasting. We liked the ice cider the best!

We came here as part of a 'Quebec Bus Tours' Taste tour of the Island of Orleans, we all got several samples and several people made purchases. A lot of variety and friendly and accommodating staff! Nice apple-themed artwork on the floors and walls also!

Such an amazing place! 🍎 The apple juice, cider, and apple butter were all so tasty and fresh. The kids had so much fun picking apples and feeding the cows and goats 🐐. Perfect weekend activity for families — we’ll definitely be coming back!

It's apple picking season so this place was busy. In the shop there were cider and apple products tasting in French and English. A big variety of hard ciders l, one of course made with maple syrup! The apple butter was delicious. The five ciders we tasted were all very distinct.

Really good products and I'm pretty sure you can try just about any of them. Really helpful staff during tastings as well. They are open year round so if you're ever in Quebec city you should definitely stop by

Very friendly staff. Free tastings for everything on their counter. Everything (ciders, foigras, jelly, sparkling cider) we tasted were all very good. We ended up buying almost everything we tasted. LOL

Amazing ice wine and apple butter. Free samples. I liked the 3 year old vintage . Not as pretty of view as the ones on the other side but the wines make up for it

Such a fun, family friendly place! They have amazing ciders, cordials, butters, jams, and maple syrup!!! You can sample everything and pick fresh apples at your leisure. The apple butter was delicious. Definitely give that a try! They were very friendly and patient with my broken French! If I make it back to Quebec I will return here.

Lotta very good ciders. Particularly enjoyed the sparkling which I got a bottle of- I would also say that the Applebutter was amazing. Worthwhile stop

Please do not make your idea about this place based on the unappealing building you see from the Main Road. I went in after discovering some of their products at the Quebec City Old Port Market. The ice cidar is a must, the best one I've tried so far! The apple butter is also something you won't find elsewhere else. They always have free tastings during the afternoon, so going there between 12 pm and 4 pm would be the best if you don't want to feel awkward by drinking alcohol in the morning.

On a bike tour of the island stopped here to sample local cider, wine, jellies, etc. Worth the visit! Vinaigrette erable et canneberge, apple maple syrup mistelle and ice cider jelly were faves!
