Domaine
des 5D

Domaine des 5D is located in the heart of the Pays d’Auge, just outside Lisieux and its famous basilica. It sits at the foot of its hillside orchards, in a spot formerly known as the Pré des Vignes, in reference to the vines once grown there.

This won­der­ful sou­thern expo­sure lends a full fla­vour to the orchard’s dif­ferent apple varie­ties, used to craft the cider farm’s products.

On his reti­re­ment, Mr Dau­fresne handed the reins of the estate to Ghis­laine Davy, who embar­ked on a policy of craf­ting high-qua­li­ty, ele­gant pro­ducts, while remai­ning res­pect­ful of nature and pro­hi­bi­ting the use of all phy­to­sa­ni­ta­ry pro­ducts on the trees.

The cider farm is open to visi­tors on week­day after­noons. You can come along and learn more about our pro­duc­tion, taste and buy our pro­ducts, and watch the dif­ferent stages of har­ves­ting and fer­men­ting the apples, mainly during the pro­duc­tion season, bet­ween Octo­ber and November.
