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!

I sat on the patio, and it looked sad. It felt like they were all tired from the season. The tables were dirty and a bit disgusting. I arrived right before a wave of people for dinner. It was Tuesday and I ordered three tacos on corn tortillas. The plate looked awesome. The black beans and rice were ok; nothing special. My three tacos came as requested, pulled pork, Fajita chicken and carne asada. It came with pico and a crème guac sauce. The corn tortillas were a bit odd and you really couldn't eat them as a taco because they just falling apart. So I ate the filling. The pulled port was the best. It was lean, moist and so flavorful. The carne asada was just strange. It was very small curled up balls of meet. Charred and has no flavor. I don't touch the chicken. It looked like it was a repacked frozen sliced strips. Not my jam. I had asked for some sour cream but never received it. O would not recommend this late in the season.

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.

Flights are $10.00 for four pre-selected ciders. Cans are $6.50-8.50, 500 mL bottles are $9.50. Lots of interesting single varietal cider bottles that we wish they offered for sampling. 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 grounds is still as enjoyable and serene as the first time. - Flight ($8.00) - traditional dry, semi-dry, raspberry and haskap. Traditional is fairly standard. Enjoyed the semi-dry more than the traditional. Our favourite was the raspberry; bright, punchy flavour and smelled heavenly on the nose. We bought a bottle ($10.40) for home. The haskap was interesting but paled in comparison to the raspberry. Always a relaxing time with good ciders at Nomad.

They were completely sold out of their makin' a mint (mint, lemon and hibiscus) flavour. - Tasting - we were able to try three flavours. High n' dry is just as you'd expect. Hop on board was a touch hoppy. Modern miracle was everyone's winner from the bunch. - 4-Pack briefcase ($29.95) - we went with three modern miracle's and one hop on board bottle. It's slightly cheaper buying the briefcase compared to individually ($8.49). Always nice to see a new cidery open up but MRCC's flavours didn't enthral us.

Perfect to celebrate a special occasion. - Sparkling pear - their version of a prosecco cider. Larger bubbles meant a less dry, smoother finish. - Sparkling apple + pear - fruitier and a slightly creamier texture. - Sparkling rosé - this is our favourite of the bunch. Blackberry note really comes through. - White/red/black currant apple + honey ($12.90) - we bought three bottles to try each of their new currant ciders.
