Over the generations, the Desgroseilliers family diversified its agricultural activities to share the fruits of their labour with the general public. In the 1920s, in every spring, Victor tapped maple trees located on his land to produce maple syrup for his family and some grocery stores in Montreal. The maple business became so big that Victor built a small shack in the middle of the sugar bush, a friendly gathering place in which to receive family and friends. This is the spirit that still persists today, at the Labranche sugar shack.
From the spirit of the most recent generation born in 2009, the Domaine Labranche now includes the maple sugar business, a cider mill and winery, where liquor is now produced from the fertile lands of St. Isidore, where you’ll find unique products that highlight the uniqueness of Quebec lands.True to their origins, the Desgroseilliers family deepen their skills, working in harmony with nature, and continue on their quest to introduce and offer high-quality innovative products.
Reviews of Domaine Labranche describe a varied, family friendly sugar shack experience set on a historic site with farm animals, a cozy fire pit, and options to explore an orchard, a maple grove and a vineyard, plus on site dining. The place is praised for a wide range of dietary options, including gluten free, lactose free, vegetarian and vegan meals, and generous portions that satisfy groups; the vegan dishes are highlighted as particularly good. The atmosphere is described as charming with old French Canadian flair, and the grounds offer activities such as carriage rides and farm visits alongside apple picking and wine tasting. Service is noted as friendly by many, though some reviews report slow service or small, pricey portions and occasional lapses. Overall, Domaine Labranche is seen as one of the better sugar shack choices in the region and a reliable option for families and diverse dietary needs.
Notre nouveau verger préféré. Les pommes bio sont très bonnes. Les jeux pour enfants sont parfaits pour occuper nos petits pendant que les parents sirotent un verre de vin maison accompagné des très bonnes grillades!
I visited with a fairly large group & we loved our experience! I ordered the vegan meal & everything was delicious. My friends have thoroughly enjoyed their more "authentic meal" as well. After happily ingestijf copious amounts of sugar, we walking around the farm & sugar shack. The small historical section was a nice added bonus. I enjoyed learning more where & how the maple syrup is sourced.
Thoroughly enjoyed our sugar shack experience here. We had vegetarians in our party so they provided us with vegan options that were really tasty. Staff is super friendly - seems like it is run by a big, happy family

Jour de Pâques ; la bouffe très ,très bonne & beaucoup de variété ! Pour le service , un seul mot '' POURRI '',serait-ce que le pourboire était donner d'avance lors des réservations en ligne ? Fallait toujours demander de rapporter la bouffe que la serveuse apportait en petites quantités avec une certaine attente entre les plats Clients n'étaient pas servis a tour de rôle , avons attendu 35 minutes ne serait -ce que pour avoir en entrée , pain,cretons, marinades & soupe .... comme si on étaient invisibles D'autres clients arrivés après nous ont été servis avant nous , même après 2 demandes a la serveuse Recommanderais pour la bouffe , mais pas pour autre choses : service ,ambiance & activités pour les jeunes laissent a désirer ! Il y a place a amélioration , c'est certain ! Je n'y retournerai pas , d'autres cabanes offrent plus...... & service & activités sont au rendez-vous
C'est une grosse cabane à sucre donc pas vraiment d'authenticité. Le repas est trop cher pour ce qu'on mange (la nourriture est correcte, mais sans plus). Le service était impeccable par contre!
Stepping into Domaine Labranche, it felt like we were walking into a warm, welcoming hug. The staff there couldn't have been more on the ball - they were all smiles, super attentive, & made us feel right at home from the get-go. You could tell they've got the whole operation down to a fine art, as everything ran like clockwork, from getting seated to the moment our plates were cleared away. But let's talk about the main event - the food! Oh, the food... It was like a big, hearty hug in meal form. Every bite of the traditional fare was bursting with flavor, cooked just right, & honestly, it just tasted like happiness. The whole vibe of Domaine Labranche added to the experience, making the meal not just food, but a full-on feast for the senses. If you're on the hunt for that authentic sugar shack experience but want it with a side of top-notch service, Domaine Labranche is your spot. A solid five stars from us!

Très bon ! Les carnivores comme les végétariens de notre groupe étaient bien satisfaits . Le service était excellent. Notre hôtesse Mercedes s'est occupé de nous comme si nous étions chez eux :) On va revenir l'an prochain
Un gros merci pour l'excellent service & pour le repas sans gluten! Ça faisait longtemps qu'on étaient pas allés à cause de nos intolérances, mais maintenant on sait qu'on peut savourer en toute quiétude !
