A relaxed, ferry-connected journey through the Saanich Peninsula and nearby islands, where you’ll find the highest concentration of land-based cideries in BC.
This laid-back trail combines sunny orchards, seaside sips, and charming island stops. From Victoria’s lush Saanich Peninsula to Salt Spring and Pender Islands, this is where BC’s cider culture really shines — with a tight cluster of independent cideries, all rooted in tradition and terroir. You’ll pass coastal farms, hop ferries through the Salish Sea, and taste some of the province’s most expressive ciders along the way.

Ciders get released when they are ready and not a minute sooner. We've been known to spend three years crafting the perfect bottle.

Our organic orchard is is at the centre of everything we do. We grow more than 425 heritage & connoisseur apple varieties right here on our property and make all of our ciders in our modest Ciderworks building, which overlooks the orchard. Our approach is to make cider with minimal intervention, never adding sugar and allowing our distinctive apples to express themselves. While we use modern equipment, our approach is traditional, as are our ciders.
