Le Père
Mahieu

Come along and visit our organic craft cider farm and distillery in the typical setting of a 1920s farmstead.

The Père Mahieu cider farm has been pro­du­cing cider since the 1920s. After a pause during the 50s and 60s, pro­duc­tion was star­ted up again in the 80s by Émile et Joce­lyne Mahieu, who replan­ted 5 hec­tares of orchards. In 2006, the farm was taken over by Alain Pis­mont and its name chan­ged to “Cidre­rie Le Père Mahieu”. The focus was then placed on pro­du­cing the highest pos­sible qua­li­ty and the orchards were conver­ted to orga­nic agri­cul­ture. All the apples that go into our cider-based pro­ducts come from our own orchards.

Tours in French, English and German, las­ting 45–60 minutes, are avai­lable throu­ghout the day. During the tour, you will see the clea­ning and pro­ces­sing area, the ageing cellar, the Calvados cellar and the bot­tling line and will conclude with a tas­ting of our entire range, inclu­ding AOP Coten­tin cider, apple juice, Calvados and Pom­meau de Normandie.
