Apples were the last thing on our mind.
That is, until we found ourselves nurturing an abandoned apple orchard back to health on our new family farm, nestled just three miles from Avila bay. Our relationship blossomed and so did the trees. One taste of the fruit set us in a new direction - California Hard Cider. We hope you enjoy!
Our cider-maker Chris Lemieux started making wine with us in 2007. Highlights include 92 pts California State Fair and Silver medals at the San Francisco International wine competition and Los Angels international wine competition (Domaine Le Mieux wines) and his expression on California Hard Cider - Apple forward with a nice complex subtle tart finish - like biting into the perfect apple. By far the most popular Hard Cider on the Central Coast - See Canyon Hard Cider is available in over 165 retail outlets and is on draft at 22 locations.
