About Domaine Pinnacle

Domaine Pinnacle is an orchard in Frelighsburg, on the slopes of Pinnacle Mountain. It makes ice cider, a sweet drink pressed from apples left to freeze in the Quebec cold. Its bottles are sold far beyond Quebec, and they have helped many people abroad discover this local specialty.

Ice cider suits anyone who likes dessert wines or wants a gift that tastes of Quebec winters. Serve it well chilled, in small glasses, with blue cheese, foie gras or a fruit tart. It is a good bottle to bring to a holiday dinner. The orchard is rooted in the Eastern Townships, close to the Vermont border.
