About Domaine Lafrance
Domaine Lafrance is a third-generation family orchard in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, west of Montreal near Oka. It makes ciders, gins and apple brandies from its fruit, and visitors can taste them right among the apple trees.
A visit fits naturally into a fall day of apple picking in the Basses-Laurentides, followed by a tasting in the orchard. Bring home a cider for dinner or an apple brandy to sip after a holiday meal. A bottle also makes a warm gift with a story behind it. It suits families, couples on a day trip and anyone who enjoys farm-to-glass drinks.
