Between Bellechasse and the south shore of Quebec City lies a cidery that truly stands apart. Art, imagination and authenticity in every bottle — welcome to Cidrerie Le Somnambule, nestled in Saint-Henri just a short drive from the inn. Come to sip a craft cider on the terrace, pick your own apples or blueberries, and head home with arms full of local flavours. A charming address where art, nature and artisanal know-how come together.
What you will love
- Apple picking in autumn — pick your own apples in a peaceful, family-friendly orchard tended with care and respect for nature. A beloved Quebec autumn tradition, experienced here in a warm and unhurried atmosphere
