Perry stands as an homage to the Hood River pears, offering an elegant and aromatic experience with a perfect blend of tannins. Crafted entirely from local pears, it’s a testament to traditional cider-making and the timeless appeal of pear cider. Ashmead, on the other hand, celebrates the quirky and flavorful Ashmead’s Kernel apple, delivering a rich body with the classic orchard funk and vibrant acidity that cider lovers crave.

Crisp and dry at the start, this cider unfurls notes of citrus and melon with a hint of orchard funk, making it an inviting off-dry selection. Then there’s Zora, the newest addition, appealing to the adventurous palate with her tart and juicy disposition, rich in natural fermentation qualities.
Harrison takes cider enthusiasts on a historical journey, using the heritage Harrison apple with origins dating back to the 1700s. Offering a golden richness that’s naturally complex, it captures the classic allure and deep appreciation within cider history.
