About this activity
Have you ever tried real Camembert made with raw milk? You will visit the last standing farm in the village of Camembert that makes Camembert on site! Have huge samples of farm made cheeses with a glass of cider. Then you will visit a dairy where they also work with raw milk and where you can taste the difference between cheeses.
Lunch is in a classified village outdoors if the weather allows it.
The afternoon is focused on apple and pear brewages. Hard apple cider, hard pear cider, pommeau and calvados. Depending on producers availability, you will visit a traditional cider farm, a estate wine-process oriented cider maker near Cambremer. If you are not too tired by the end of the tour, a small surprise will expect you at the end.

Overall very enjoyable with a decent amount of unique cheese and cider. We went to very pretty locations that would have been difficult to visit on our own. However, the price was a little above what I would expect now that I know what the experience involves. Overall very good time though!
Étienne displayed his warm hospitality from the very first moment of the experience. He spoke with great fervor throughout the tour and constantly thrilled us with his great insight for agriculture. From the weather to the type of soil to the different breeds of animals, there was no doubt about how profound his knowledge is. Étiennes ability to present the different types of ciders and complex process of cheese-making in a fun and easy approach made the tour an unforgettable one. We especially enjoyed the simple ingredients that he brought to the lunch table, which were of superior quality. Étiennes tour was indeed an enjoyable one and we highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to acquire a better understanding for agriculture in France.
