Cherry Rocher

We went to the Cherry Rocher liqueur museum with the Aussies today. The museum is in La Cote-Saint-Andre, just forty minutes away, and it is certainly worth the trip. I've mentioned in the blog that I'm interested in different kinds of fruit alcohols (usually more distillates rather than macerations)m and the museum has a wonderful collection of stills, fruit presses and all sorts of other interesting machinery. They also have a tasting room, and an impressive selection of many kinds of alcohols.








From the museum, we all went to the "Paradis du Chocolat" chez Jouvenal which was also fun. They make a nut filled chocolate which are quite addictive, but with a bizarre name "Damnation".





From there it was on to the chateau and home
