Twisted Hills Cider
Cidery

Associated Venue: Twisted Hills Cider
Established in 2012
We are unique in that we grow organic apple varieties specifically for the use of cider. We believe that the quality of cider will never surpass the quality of the apples used to make it. The varieties that we grow include a number of cider specific varieties which are higher in tannin and acidity which enables us to produce a very diverse and well-balanced array of organic ciders.
Jo Schneider a 5th generation orchardist grew up in Cawston and Kaylan Madeira a 1st generation Canadian grew up in Oliver. Both grew up on the family farm and in 2008 they planted their own acreage in cider specific apple varieties, dessert apples, pears and a few cherries.
In the Fall of 2017 Jo and Kaylan purchased and additional 5 acres on top of their 7 acre orchard which is the new home of their tasting room dubbed the CiderDome
Practicing Organic methods of farming and cidermaking we are the only cidery in BC to have a full line up of Certified Organic ciders made with Organic Estate Grown Cider Apples.

Hazy and pale, soft peach aroma. Really sweet, the peach is like intensely syrupy. Apple base isn’t bad but damn, this is way sweeter than it needs to be.

Bottle sampled at BC Cider Fest 2024, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of floral, perfumey hops, dry apple skins, no notice of the peach. Flavour combines the perfumey hops, with light peach, and dry apple skins. The combo works okay, but the base cider just isn't that interesting and I could do without the hops. Okay.

Slight haze. Light apricot aroma. The apple here is mild and body light, apricot/peach taste is clean, though the product isn'�t all that complex. I don't get much hop.

Good clear gold body and okay foam, sharp sweet apple accented by funky weedy hops on the nose. Flavour is soft apple and dry hops; lingering sweetness, slight yeast funk. Enjoyable, rustic.

Clear gold with a small white head. A bit of sulphur or yellow apple skin. Slight acidity and flesh with a pretty dry finish. Boring but decent.
