West Avenue Cider House is a farm cidery that is deeply rooted in organic orcharding. Crafting cider from living soils and heritage apples since 2012, they’ve created a space for friends and families to gather around excellent cider in beautiful rural Ontario. West Avenue’s cider has been awarded Best Cider in Ontario for several years running, and they hope you’ll have the chance to find out why. As small-batch producers of hard cider, they care about the quality of the fruit that goes into their cider—and always will. Using only the best ingredients, coupled with a slow fermentation process, every batch of their cider is characteristic of the orchard’s terroir. Because heritage apples are rare in Canada, they planted thousands of trees in their orchard to ensure that their Heritage Ciders remain authentic forever.
