Our Passion from our Farm to You
Here at Merridale, everything starts in the orchard. We use sustainable farming practices without the use of herbicides or pesticides. We believe that we are custodians of our farm for future generations and we focus on maintaining or enhancing our community in all we do. We use cider apple varieties that have been proven for centuries in England, France, and Germany to make the best cider. All of our ciders and spirits are made from 100% pure juice, and only the first pressing is used. We ferment our juice slowly and naturally, to delicately bring out all of the flavour the fruit has to offer.
Merridale is a team of people who are passionate about what they do and how they do it. We focus on traditional methods and practices with some innovation to enhance the end product, ensuring that we never compromise the end product. We are proud of everything we make and we want our customers to share in our passion and pride.
Celebrate the fall harvest with Merridale and other craft cideries from across BC. Visit the farm on Sunday, October 1st from 1 to 5pm to sample delicious ciders from 12 BC craft producers.
Our cider and spirits are available at private liquor stores around Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. Visit our Cider page for an interactive map of locations.
Most people think of cider when they think of Merridale, but we have been quietly distilling for over a decade. Check out our Spirits page to watch a new video detailing our passion and expertise for this craft.
