This family run cidery is located on an orchard that was once part of the land area nicknamed Millionaires’ Row. Using apples grown from this orchard, we carefully blend and create ciders that are uniquely crisp, clean and refreshing. Each one of our ciders tells a part of the rich and inspiring history of Summerland’s early days.
