Okay I have been so cider obsessed lately! Anyone else? Back in the day I'd have a cider here and…read morethere but there were never any good local options. These days there are so many amazing companies rolling out some delicious products! My latest fav has been Scenic Road Cider Co. from Kelowna, a local company in the Okanagan. They've been handcrafting small batches of some fab tasting ciders using their very own apples as well as other local produce. I absolutely love their bottle designs, such adorable prints that are all different and unique! They have a few flavours to choose from all made with all natural and gluten free ingredients. Dry - This one uses English style apples as well as traditional, super easy drinking. Nearly Dry - This one is your traditional blend of OK valley apples. Razz - loving the addition of some local Fraser Valley raspberries in this blend, subtle and delicious. Mama Beary - Love that this one supports 'Mamas for Mamas' which is a local charity for women. Great flavour with the addition of raspberries, red currants and blackberries. Droool. Peary - My fav, made with local dessert pears and oh so yummy! They also come out with Cidermaker Select Series so keep your eye out for those gems! Be sure to try them out and support your locals during this crazy time. They currently offer curb side pickup, home delivery and shipping so you can stock up and enjoy a cold one! Can't wait to give them a visit on my next trip to the Okanagan once everything opens back up!

We've had Scenic Road Cider before at Cider Fest but wanted to check out their headquarters. This…read morewas our fifth stop of the afternoon and it was delightful. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 3:00pm) and had the place all to ourselves. They've got a cute outdoor picnic area if you want to lounge around. Otherwise, the tasting room is quaint and homey. Our host was fantastic; funny, quick witted and informative. Clearly loves his job and cider. There was four ciders to taste (bonus: it's complimentary). Sadly, they were out of the Mama Beary (which comes out on Mother's Day) and cidermaker's selection. Future cidermaker flavours in the works included cherry, winter spice and cranberry. Bottles are $8.44 to $9.59 range. Appreciate that the prices already include taxes. 10% off if you buy a dozen bottles. They had a pre-made four pack for $35.16. - Peary - off dry that's made from 100% pears. Light and enjoyable. - Dry - not as dry as we expected. I actually liked this one more than the nearly dry. - Nearly dry - this one didn't leave much of an impression on me. - Razz - this was a surprise. Shocking burst of raspberry flavour. We bought a bottle ($9.00) for home. Definitely worth a visit! We'll be on the lookout for their specialty ciders.

After our visit to Kangaroo Creek Farm, we went to Upside Cider for lunch. We arrived around…read more11:30am, so we had to wait until noon to order pizza (I don't know why we couldn't order and pay in advance), but no matter -- we had flights of cider and charcuterie boards to keep us occupied, and the pizza was well-worth the wait. The cider flights consist of four samples, and I had: plum rosé, tropical pear, peach bourbon, and the hazy nectarine. All were quite good, with the peach bourbon being my favourite, which also seemed to be the favourite amongst our group. Three pizzas, three charcuterie boards, several flights, and two hours later, we left with full bellies and smiles on our faces. If you are in Kelowna, I recommend a stop at Upside Cider, whether for a drink, a snack, or a full meal. Bonus -- they have lots of gluten free options. [Yelp collections: Kelowna 2020; Wine Time!]

We were at the cidery on Monday, May 18th, which was Victoria Day. The pizza and cider was very…read moregood, we really enjoyed it. The staff however, seemed like we were an inconvenience to them. The cleanliness and clearing of messes was a concern as well. We were on the rooftop patio and had to step over napkins at the top of the stairs that were left the entirety of our visit. There were tables outside that had previous customers dishes and garbage left for at least the full 2 hours that we were there. Staff were coming up and down regularly but just left garbage and dishes sitting there. Washrooms were very dirty and in need of a deep clean. Overall, the cidery has a good vibe and is a fun place to chill and have some food and drinks. Staff being more conscientious with keeping up with tasks would make us much more likely to return.

The Riesling and Gewurtztraminer was tasty to try on a cold day and the ciders all had unique, special tastes. Some dry, some sweet. Each cider was a hit for our varying pallets. Our wine sommeliers were super helpful and friendly! We bought some cider and wine to take home but also cracked some cold cans they had available open and drank right in the orchard. It was a splendid experience and just what I needed for my weekend in Kelowna!

Staff was kind enough to squeeze us in before a big group's arrival. Tasting fee is $5.00/person and includes five pours. Fee is waived with a purchase. - InfiniTea tropical green tea - hint of coconut. - InfiniTea strawberry kiwi - reminded B of strawberry kiwi fruitopia. We liked their tea infused ciders the most and bought a variety pack ($11.55 for 4) for home. - Wards dry hopped cider - didn't like this one much. Not much depth or flavour. - Ginger cider - very light on the ginger flavour but at least they use fresh ginger. - Harvest spiced cider - you can drink this hot or cold. I liked this one more than the ginger. - Mimosa cider - tasted some orange notes. The packaging is eye catching. Wards ciders were run of the mill. Interesting that you can find their cans cheaper in town at Superstore than at their actual facility.

A beautiful spot, overlooking the lake. You can grab cider and sit across the apple orchard just…read moreabove the lake. Beautiful spot. I'm happy to see they have gained a lot of popularity since our last visit. We went back on a Sunday afternoon, and it was quite busy. There was a Persian food truck outside. My memory of the cider and service was better than what we experienced. I found the draught ciders to be flat, and this wasn't the case previously. I hope they get back to their previous high standards.

They use 100% natural fruit juice made from European heritage apples from their own orchard. They are based in Summerland in the Okanagan which is one of my favorite places and fun fact, also where my sister got married! I'm in love with their ciders, the are obviously low carb if your working on your summer body and no sugar added which is good for me! My fav is Tuesdays Original which is an English style cider. The Station which is fermented and aged for a year, so good! The Flume uses dessert apples and super tasty. They also have a Gose Style, Woodland Hopped, Farm Pressed, Sweet Paradise. Porter Dry and even some Bourbon Barreled Aged ciders that I need to get my hands on but I highly suggest trying out those first 3, your sure to find a new fav! Use code CIDER15 to save 15% on case orders of 12 or more! They also offer free shipping in the Greater Vancouver, Kelowna and Penticton, or curb-side pickup. You can find their products in stores all over BC as well. Next order of business, I need to get out to their tasting rokm pronto! Looks adorable!

Tastings are now $10.00/person (for 5 pours + apple juice to finish) but is waived with a purchase of $20.00 or more. Their cider bottles are in the $22.00 to $26.00 (tax included) price range. We came as a walk-in when all the picnic tables were full. One worker was kind and offered to do the tasting by one of their barrels until a table opened up. The other worker wasn't helpful or friendly. - Newtown granny 2020 - a bit more citrusy and mellow. We bought a bottle ($22.00) for home. - Century - Aurora 2020 - this was the same as last year (merlot). Slight off dry finish. Apparently, they use a different grape in each year's edition. - Goldie 2019 - their barrel aged cider. Aged in oak barrels. - Crabby apple - solid like last year's version. - Juice - still as good as we remember. Crazy that it's good to drink for up to 2 months. Decent ciders at C&G. Make a reservation if you don't want to wait. 3.5 stars.

They also have "Pommeau" which they describe as cider-if-it-was-port, and it's unlike anything I've tasted before. Tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle. My personal favourite is the Pear. The building is a geodesic dome with windows, very neat. My only knock would be the price - it's $15-18 for a 750mL bottle. (As of 2022)

We decided to take the long/scenic route so that we could make a pit stop to their CiderDome. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It wasn't busy but the server manning the cider bar was friendly and enthusiastic. We both did a tasting (don't believe their was a fee) and sampled 5 flavours. Bottles are in the $14.00 to $18.00 range (taxes included). You save a $1.00/bottle when you buy 3 or 6 bottles. Sadly, they were out of their sparkling orchard ($7.00) which I wanted to buy/try. - Kingston's twist - semi-dry. - Calville blanc - semi-sweet. - Midnight cherry - semi-dry blend of apples and cherries. Enjoyable but I was hoping for more brightness from the cherries. - Tangled rose - semi-sweet blend of apples and Santa Rosa plums. We've had this before and it is delicious. Our favourite! We bought three bottles. - Glo haven - semi-sweet blend of apples and peach. We bought half a dozen bottles for home so that shows how much we enjoy Twisted Hills ciders. Go!

Shared a flight ($10.00); semi-dry, blueberry, peach and raspberry. Semi-dry is still good (not too dry). Peach was the favourite of the three fruit ciders.

The haskap was interesting but paled in comparison to the raspberry. Always a relaxing time with good ciders at Nomad.

I don't know how they got the dough so pillow, soft, yet perfectly crispy but we all agreed that it was some of the best pizza each of us ever had. Definitely recommend the pork as a main and their portions are absolutely huge and delicious! The polenta and veggies really added to the pork dish and I honestly could not have been happier with the crispy skin and tender meat inside.
