Eden Ice Cider Heritage
Wine🇺🇸 Vermont, USA · Heirloom apple
A bright, honeyed ice cider from the New England orchards the novel lives in. Its sweetness carries a tart edge, like the book's mix of tenderness and hard moral reckoning.
The Pour

Domaine Dupont Cidre Bouché Brut de Normandie
Wine🇫🇷 Pays d'Auge, Normandy, France · Apple
Rustic, dry and earthy, with a farmhouse honesty that suits the orchard-workers and their rules. A gentle fizz keeps it companionable and unfussy.
The Mood
An orphanage doctor and his gifted ward navigate love, duty and a fiercely contested moral choice across rural Maine. Irving's storytelling is warm and sprawling, with orchards and rules to break.
