About La Face Cachée de la Pomme

La Face Cachée de la Pomme is a cidery in Hemmingford, in the orchard country south of Montréal, founded in 1994. It helped put Québec ice cider on the map, a drink made from apples concentrated by winter cold. Its Neige line is the name many people associate with the style.

La Face Cachée suits anyone curious about a drink that is truly rooted in Québec's climate. Ice cider pairs well with cheese, foie gras or a dessert, and a bottle makes a distinctive gift for visitors or friends abroad. In fall, a drive to Hemmingford during apple season makes a pleasant day trip.
