If I had to find a fault I would say the fries could be a little crisper. They have 19 ciders on draught, which are available by the 12oz or as a 4x4oz flight. I recommend doing the flight, as there are so many delicious flavours of ciders that this is the best way to try many. There is a small outside patio, and reasonable sized seating area inside. We were there mid-week for a late lunch, so they werent too crowded, but I can imagine this place is very popular in the evening and weekends. It's also a convenient short walk to Kitsilano beach. What better way to cool off after some sun than some cold cider!

Right in Gibsons, you will see the sign off the main road, and when you turn in it feels like a relaxing retreat of being back in nature, and being able to grab some beverage's of the adult variety. I didn't want to go all in on one cider, so I went with a flight with the help of the lady there. While sitting in their area, the space has other vendors, on the day we were there they weren't open, but you can get some food. There are a number of tables, a see through dome for those rainy days, and even a children's play area if you are also bringing in the young. Their ciders are a nice, refreshing taste, not overpowering in taste, and some grow on you after the first initial taste. It is something were a few were originally a little too light.. then after a few more sips you really want to buy some for the journey home to your own fridge. Two other things of note when you are here, and you can't try, but you have to trust it, they make their own small can sodas, from apple, to hibiscus to peach, and they don't sell these anywhere else, I took a gamble.. and now I have to say I can't wait to go back and buy some more, they also have their own apple juice they sell also.... that's also on the 'take my money' list. If you have some time, especially if you have the ferry booked and need to kill some time, this is the spot to relax, and at the same time maybe get some food, but for sure get something to drink!

My favourite was the double muscat - Stone fruit ($3.50 for 4oz) - smelled fruity but ending note was strange - Sunday soda ($3.50) - hibiscus tasted like apple juice. Peach was better

After checking out the Saturday farmers market, we decided to visit a few spots around the island…read more First up on the itinerary was Ciderworks. They're a family run cidery that specializes in dry, 100% certified organic ciders. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 2:30pm). They have tables outside (in the back) with a sweet view but you can also walk down and sit in the orchard yard. Only thing is it's very, very slanty. They had 8 ciders on the menu but only 7 that you could try in a flight (flight options were $9.00 for 3, or $17.00 for 7). Most of their ciders are in the very dry to medium dry category. There's also a small snack menu. Bottles are in the $6.25 to $6.50 range. You save slightly when you buy a six pack. You can buy fresh apples ($3.00/lb). Apple chips but these weren't cheap ($5.00 for 60g or $10.00 for 140g). - 2x Flight ($9.00 for 3) - we opted for the original, firkin and sky blue. Honestly, there wasn't much difference between the three that we tried. Then again, we aren't the biggest fans of dry ciders. Didn't love any of their ciders. 2.5 stars.

We'd seen Valley Cider a few years ago back during Cider Festival. While on the island, we decided…read moreto check out their taproom. We dropped in on a late Saturday afternoon (around 3:30pm). The tasting room can fit two groups in at a time. Service was friendly and informative. We lucked out and our tasting was done by the cidermaker himself! Interesting to see what went behind certain flavours and ideas. Tasting is complimentary and we were given 5 cider samples to try (plus a bonus soda). Cider bottles are $4.99 (330ml) and sodas are $3.99. They even had a mingler ($50.00 for 12 bottles). - Community-in-cider - a smorgasboard of apples (that would have been discarded) from the surrounding area. Pleasantly smooth. A good heritage cider. - Ginnish - we liked that it wasn't overly juniper heavy. Light with different flavour notes coming through. - Humulus lupulus - a lot of lychee and honey on the nose. Again, light but refreshing. An excellent hopped cider (which is due to using aromatic hops). - Poïple - beautiful colour from using the pea blossom. More of the fruitier style that we are used to with crushed blueberries and lemon zest. - Winter - a mix of winter spices (we tasted notes of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla). - Absinthe soda - normally we don't like anise but it was very well balanced and rounded. A variety of flavours come through and these soda babies only have 50g of sugar. We bought half a dozen cider bottles (love potion, farriessence, gingerella, rouge, cider noir and ¡feugo!) and two sodas (ginger and citrus). Can't wait to try out these flavours! VC was a pleasant surprise. Worth a visit if you're a cider aficionado.

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (3:30pm). Go inside to order, they bring the drinks out to your table. 9 ciders on tap, all day snack menu and cider slushie cocktails ($13.50). You can order a flight but it's the same price as ordering individual tasters. They also have a "secret business menu" (aka. multi-course, family style tasting menu) for $85.00/person. - Flight - rose blossom ($4.50), joyride rose ($4.50) and rose coloured glasses 2023 ($4.50). Ciders are on the lighter, slightly drier side. I liked the joyride rose (sour cherries) the most but their ciders don't leave a lasting impression. Worth trying WC if you're getting into craft ciders but we prefer the Okanagan cideries.
