Our Ciders

We invite you to discover the taste of the Champlain Valley and this beautiful place we call home.

Our Ciders

Our ORCHARD-MADE cider is crafted from fruit grown with a conscience, in beautiful and pristine Vermont. Our cidery is located at Champlain Orchards, a family-owned and ecologically-managed orchard overlooking Lake Champlain. Every single apple in our hard ciders is pressed, fermented, and crafted at our orchard. This makes for a quality, local product that is fresh, crisp and deliciously drinkable.

The Good Stuff

We produce a variety of ciders from the everyday drinking ciders in our core, to the unusual limited seasonal series, to our sophisticated Single-Varietal Estate Series, and are excited by new ideas and creativity when it comes to our recipes.

With a nod to the early days of the cider scene and an appreciation for innovation and creativity, we take traditional hard ciders and put our own modern Vermont spin on them.
