Tasting flights of award-winning organic cider on a ten-acre Saanich Peninsula orchard above the water, reservations required on weekends.
Saanichton, Saanich Peninsula
More infoWine tastings are everywhere; tasting flights of organic cider on a hilltop farm above the sea are not. Sea Cider sprawls across ten acres of the Saanich Peninsula planted with more than 1,300 heritage apple trees, and the barn-style tasting room hands you a flight of award-winning ciders while the orchard rolls toward the water. Order the cheese board. One rule: weekends are reservation-only, so book ahead.
Drive out to the hilltop orchard above the Saanich Inlet and work through a flight of the award-winning organic ciders (the mulled cider and 'Canadian Invasion' have loud fans) with a charcuterie board, debating which pour wins. Take the free wander around the 1,300-tree property between sips, budget about 90 minutes. One heads-up so you're not stumped at the gate: weekends can be reservation-only with no walk-ins, so book ahead.
