What started as a maple syrup operation in the 1920s has grown into an orchard, winery, and sugar shack that doesn’t just serve syrup—it pours it alongside its own house-made wines. Run by the Desgroseilliers family for eight generations, Domaine Labranche offers a more intimate sugaring-off experience, where elbow-to-elbow dining is part of the charm. The menu is all tradition—crêpes, baked beans, pea soup, omelettes, and maple-laced desserts—paired with a full wine list straight from their cellar. Beyond the meal, there are sleigh rides, farm animals, and tastings of their cider and maple-based spirits. Prices run $42 for adults and $11.50–$30 for kids, and while the sugar shack season ends in April, their orchard and winery keep things rolling long after the last drop of sap is boiled.
