Here’s what I liked from a recent tasting of Twin Pines ciders:
The apple ciders sell for $9.95 with the pear ciders at $10.95 and the ice cider $19.95 for 375 ml. The craft ciders are sold to bars and restaurants or at the retail store mostly in distinctive litre bottles with a resealable topper and made under the Hammer Bent label. Of course, all of the preserves and pies in the retail store are made from the gardens at Twin Pines … raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, currants as well as Concord and Niagara white grapes. In season, you will find tomatoes, leeks, peppers, plums, peaches and nectarines. Twin Pines also grows myriad pesticide-free vine crops such as squash, pumpkins, and gourds. All of the trees on the property are of the dwarf variety. Some of the varieties would have been popular for eating and cidermaking in the 1800s while others are the newest flavours that boast increased shelf life, hardness and incredible flavour. The cidery takes particular pride in their efforts to grow heritage apple varieties. Currently, the farm produces well over one million pounds of apples from 25 commercial varieties as well as approximately 15 heritage and specialty cider varieties. Twin Pines is a 50-acre property in Thedford with approximately 40 acres planted to fruit. Read on! Twin Pines Orchards and Cider House And also some news from Pommies and their tree giveaway promotion. I have some notes on three different cideries from samples I have tried recently: Twin Pines Cider, West Avenue Cider and Sulker’s Cider, which is still in the experimental phase of their operation. Each beverage has a time and place and the world is big enough for them all - at least a lot of people are betting the farm that there is. What I love about cider is the fact that it is complementary to Ontario VQA wine and craft beer and even the small local craft distillery industry. From a sprinkling of pioneering cideries in far-flung places in Ontario, to one of the fastest growing beverage segments in the province with new players popping up every month, cider is a bona fide superstar riding a wave of excitement that shows no signs of abating. Or head down Lakeshore in Niagara-on-the-Lake and make a stop at Sunnybrook Winery and load up by the growler or the can with their Ironwood Hard Cider, and just a couple kilometres past that, Small Talk has made a huge foray into the world of cider with a range of Shiny Apple Ciders, again, by the growler or can.Ĭider has become a part of the Niagara tapestry as much as craft beer, distillates, and a wide range of culinary delights from some of Ontario’s best chefs.īut it is the pace at which cider has exploded on the scene that cannot be ignored.
Davids and make a stop at Ravine Vineyard and order Marty Werner’s new bone-dry apple cider by the glass at the winery restaurant. Very soon (announcement pending), you can take the York Road wine route to St. This isn’t just a Beamsville Bench thing.
