Manoir De Grandouet, Cambremer

Gorgeous Manoir and Cider brewery hidden in a green valley. Family so friendly and helpful. We joined a tour of the brewery and bought Calvados and different types of Cider. It's such a beautiful place to visit. Highly recommended!

In amongst the bocage of Normandy is this absolute gem! The reviews gave us a hint that it was worth the detour and we were still so happily surprised with the warmth of the welcome, attention to detail and the quality of the cider and calvados. We arrived as a family of four, and had a personalized visit by the young daughter in this family-run production. A short informative film (English subtitled) was followed by a visit through both ancient and current modern production of cider and calvados. A real passion and knowledge for the craft was evident throughout the visit. Finally a tasting included the full range of products. The AOP ciders, demi-sec and reserve, are exceptional! I was also impressed with the 15 yrs calvados that had a wonderful blend of vanilla and woody notes while retaining a faithful apple aroma. Needless to say, we left with several bottles in the trunk and intent to make a return trip when we next need to stock up. Thank you for the great experience!
