Kootenays | BC Cider Way

A scenic escape into the Kootenays, where mountain landscapes and pristine lakes set the stage for two exceptional craft cideries in Creston and Burton.

The Kootenay Cider Route may be small, but it’s packed with stunning views and exceptional cider. Nestled in the heart of Creston and Burton, these two cideries craft unique, orchard-driven ciders that reflect the region’s rich fruit-growing history.

Take your time soaking in the breathtaking mountain scenery, exploring charming small towns, and savoring ciders made with local apples. This relaxed route is perfect for those looking to experience the beauty and flavors of the Kootenays at an easygoing pace.

Plan for a full day or a leisurely weekend to enjoy both cideries—and be sure to bring a growler to take home a taste of the mountains.

A great cider relies on the science of fermentation, the art of selecting the right apples and time. A great cider takes the time it takes! At Burton City Cider we are always working to find the perfect blend. We have found a few! Just as wine changes with the grapes each year – apples and cider do too. The fun is finding flavour combos that make cider a drink for any occasion.
