Château du Breuil

Château du Breuil

The premium apple brandy known as calvados is one of Normandy’s signature products, and the Château du Breuil is one of its most prestigious makers. The family-owned estate runs a 40-minute tour, available in English, that takes you through the process (the cider is distilled twice and aged in oak barrels). You also get a history of the 16th-century château, a beautiful slate-roofed castle surrounded by 22,000 apple trees. Tours and tastings are given every day.
