First time checking out Cambium Cidery & Restaurant. Last time we were here, it was BX Press. They now have a full fledged restaurant serving wood-fired pizzas. There's a dozen cider flavours, bottles (500mL) are $8.33 to $9.65. Tastings are $4.35/person, non-refundable for four pours; modern apple, earl grey, rhubarb, cherry and raspberry lavender (bonus). Best was the rhubarb. Bought a couple of bottles; blackcurrant cardamom ($9.15), rhubarb ($9.65) and winter ($8.33). read more

We had the most amazing meal here at cambium! Their earl grey cider and black currant cardamom ciders were my absolute favorites - and 20oz cider flight was only $14 and they were all great!!! My least favorite was the currantly caliente cider, but honestly every other thing I ate on the menu blew me out of the water. Especially their gluten free feature pizza. 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. read more

Just tried to go to cambium cidery, first time ever going. They ID us as any good business would, I gave my government issued license and government issued service card. They told me my drivers license was a fake and that they wouldn't serve us. Both my cards are identical and say the same information. I proceeded to bring out 3 extra pieces of ID (credit cards, union card, encore card) they took my drivers license into the back bent it in half and came back to tell us we had to leave. Pretty unpleasant to say the least. I love supporting small businesses but unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

Wonderful food, drink, atmosphere and story. Love this business and the people who run it. We enjoyed a lovely lunch. The menu has something for everyone and every budget. The drinks are plentiful and the grounds and new building is fabulous. Cute little gift shop with hand made goods. This will be our go to place this summer! read more

After lunch, we made a quick pit stop to check out The BX Press Cidery & Orchard. They're about a 10 minute drive from downtown Vernon. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 2:00pm) and were able to join a short 15 minute guided tour (occurs every 30 minutes). You can do that or do a tasting at the bar; both options are pay by donation and gets you three generous pours. We sampled the Hostler, cranberry cinnamon and lavender raspberry. The inside had a mix of merchandise (wooden charcuterie boards, homemade toques, hats, shirts and apple soap) along with 5 flavours of bottled cider available. We were also informed of a couple upcoming flavours: apricot ginger and vanilla plum (for Christmas) sounded great! They even had homemade macarons! While we were leaving, we spotted crates of crab apples that were to be crushed the following day. A worker told us to give it a try; super tart and dry but tasty. - Cranberry cinnamon ($9.00) - this was our favourite of the three ciders we sampled. Good tartness with a note of cinnamon at the end. - Golden russet ($9.00) - didn't love it. Fun spot to learn about the cider process and sample a few flavours. read more

Cider... I've never had a taste for cider until I came here. We took the Cider tasting and learned the history of this brewery and fell in love with cider. If you're ever in BC you need to stop by and try a couple of the different ciders they have to offer. read more

Atmosphere: cute little long tables and picnic benches outside. One bench is in between rows of apple trees. Its lovely. Service: knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating staff. Theyve been growing apples here since 1940s. We were also told that 2 lbs of apples goes into every bottle of cider. $12 for one of two preselected flight (traditional vs seasonal) SEASONAL FLIGHT The overlander- tastes like a light rose. Semi sweet. A bit of tartness. Looks and tastes like rose. Lavender raspberry-slightly more savory due to the lavender. Tastes and looks like raspberry juice. The bandit =Cherry and other berries. no sugar added. Tastes like any supermarket fruit punch with less sugar. Good. Pours like a fruit punch. Iced cider- sweet dessert sipper- smells sweet but tastes a bit like tequila. You get the burning linger. Amber. TRADITIONAL FLIGHT (drier and all apples) The prospectors-traditional dry English cider- low bubbles, slight bitters very bland. Not much sweetness. Pours almost clear. The hostler- tarte and ever so slightly astringent in a good way. Some bubbles. Pours almost clear. The dufferin -aged in whiskey barrels- with slight bourbon taste and vanilla. Smells like bourbon. Slight bitterness. Low in bubbles. Pours straw color. The wrangler- smells yeasty and slight French oak. Good amount of bubbles. Pours light amber. Overall: if you love ciders, you'll enjoy the flights. So much more variety than at your local liquor store. I'll definitely he returning. read more

This craft cidery is an absolute gem in Vernon. We've followed its growth from inception a few years ago and are part of their cider club. Each year, it amazes us how Missy and her team somehow takes things to the next level. I love that they share their process and story on social media. Their cider tastings are hosted by the most knowledgeable and friendly staff who have a great story to tell about the history of the ciders and the names given to them. The care and attention to detail that Missy puts into the creation of each vintage is heart-warming. You know you're getting a quality product with as much local ingredient as is possible. They don't take short cuts to make their products and you can tell by the end product. I've tasted other craft ciders where I'm excited to try their bourbon cider, because perhaps it would be a nice alternative to the whiskey Dufferin cider that BX makes. Unfortunately, more often than not, it ends up being that they just add bourbon to their cider, which ends up being a completely different product that is no longer cider. Adding fruit juice might make it taste good, but infusing it in the process makes it taste great. BX has really taken the process of making cider and turned it into an art, much like the process of making wine. read more

The forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden was grown by BX Press. These luxurious Okanagan ciders will light your taste buds on fire, every synapse in your brain will be firing telling you "wow, this is fresh". Great staff will take you out into the orchard and tell you the tales of the land. They also offer a quicker taste at the bar. When they get their apple juice in, make sure to stock up. It flies off the shelf real quick. We're from out of town and make sure to stop by every time we're around! read more
