About
From the humble beginnings of our story in 2007, when Once Upon a Tree was born in the cold outbuildings at Dragon Orchard; we have evolved to multi award-winning craft drinks producer, BBC Radio 4 Food & Farming "Drinks Producer of the Year", Overall Champion Trophy at the International Cider & Perry Competition, and winner of the Bath & West Champion Perry Trophy.

We remain humble and true to our heritage and passion, which is to create the best quality cider from the highest quality fruit; whilst continuing to preserve the tradition of cider making in the area. Founder and wine maker Simon's appetite and knowledge to apply wine making principles to cider production has led to a profusion of creative and innovative products, from multi award winning Blenheim Superb ice cider, to grape skin co-ferments.
