Summerland Heritage Cider Company produces traditional, handcrafted ciders using local apples from their own orchards. Their focus on quality and heritage results in a range of ciders that are full of character.
Our Perspective
Summerland Heritage Cider Company is rooted in tradition, crafting ciders that honour the rich apple-growing history of the Okanagan Valley. The team here is dedicated to producing high-quality, small-batch ciders that showcase the true flavour of locally sourced apples. They use a mix of heritage apple varieties, which lends their ciders a depth and complexity that sets them apart from more commercial offerings.
The cidery’s approach is hands-on, with a commitment to minimal intervention to let the natural characteristics of the fruit shine through. Their ciders are crisp, refreshing, and have just the right balance of sweetness and acidity. For example, their "Dry Apple Cider" is a popular choice, offering a clean and crisp profile that appeals to those who prefer a more traditional cider experience. Meanwhile, their "Elderflower Cider" adds a floral twist, making it a unique option that stands out on its own.
Visitors to Summerland Heritage Cider Company can expect a straightforward and welcoming experience. The tasting room is unpretentious, focusing on the cider itself and the story behind each bottle. It’s a place where you can relax, enjoy a glass or two, and learn about the process of making cider from people who are truly passionate about their craft. The setting, surrounded by orchards, adds to the authenticity of the experience, making it clear that this is a place where heritage and quality come first.
