Vallier Robert started fermenting maple sap into alcoholic beverages in 1990, creating a semi-dry and fine sparkling maple wines as well as a maple aperitif and a maple after-dinner drink. Learn this inspiring history during an educational guided tour of the facilities.
During the tour, which will take you from the cellars to the sugar shack, you will learn about the processes involved in turning maple sap into syrup or alcoholic beverages, the art of fermentation, the complex flavours of maple products, their benefits and how to cook with them.
Our alcoholic beverages, gourmet products and organic maple syrups are available to taste in the gift shop. Why not pack a picnic and spend some time enjoying the grounds at Domaine Acer?
A visit to Domaine Acer is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of maple products! Discover refined products at this maple economuseum.
