Cider House

Our Cider House is a unique venue nestled in the heart of the orchard, and is home to our cozy bistro, la Pommeraie. The perfect spot to relax, and learn how to pair cider with meals inspired and created from locally sourced ingredients and taste premium small batch wines from our fellow vintners. We offer complimentary self-guided tours and tastings for small groups. For large groups, we offer a wide range of Cider Tours and Culinary Adventures. We are sure to have the right package to fit your group.

Our farm house store is also located in the ciderhouse and offers a collection of artisanal food products and gifts. Stocked with jams, relishes, soups, and sauces which are made in our own kitchen, we also carry products from our nearby farms like cheese, crackers and duqqa. And to complete your culinary shopping excursion, you will find woven baskets overflowing with bread, croissants, apple pie, brioche, and other goodies baked fresh in our own wood fire brick oven. Pair with Merridale cider, and voilà, you will have the perfect take-out dinner. And if you are looking for that unique Cowichan Valley gift, browse through local artwork, apple-scented soaps, fanciful fairy goods, and functional gourmet textiles like painted linens and glassware.

Looking for a venue that will create impressions and memories to last a lifetime? Our cider house, our Brandihouse, orchard and pond are available for weddings, special events, and business meetings.
