The cider house
We have been processing apples to produce the highest quality ciders since 2004.
Our products are now available at more than 2000 points of sale and in the cider house and on our online store.
Our facilities enable us to produce all types of cider, including sparkling, ice or fire.
An increasingly eco-responsible orchard
For several years, Cidrerie Lacroix has collaborated with groups specializing in research and development in apple growing, such as Agro-Pomme and the Institut de Recherche et de Déveleppement en Agroenvironnement (IRDA), to reduce the use of pesticides.
Production process
Our team works diligently to innovate and develop new products and flavours. Our production processes follow the highest quality standards.
A little history
It all began in 1879, when the Lacroix family settled on Lot 300, in the village of St Joseph du Lac, to grow apples! Five generations later, the company is flourishing as its products are distributed throughout Quebec. It is at the turn of the 2000's that Lacroix begins to produce cider, at a time when the Quebec industry is becoming more and more important. Initially producing sparkling cider, Lacroix then diversified its products. With more than 2000 points of sale in Quebec and several varieties of products offered, the Lacroix Cider Factory is positioned as a leader in the Quebec cider industry.
