Description
What started as an idea amongst 3 friends sitting around a pub table by the Ayrshire coast in 2017 became a reality in 2020. Our goal was to produce quality, hand-crafted cider which reflected our locality and our values. So we created Ayrshire Riviera Cider.
We’ve harnessed the spirit, beauty and purity of our West of Scotland surroundings to make cider that connects with where we are from. We strive to do this through low-impact, high-ethics production methods with a constant eye on quality and flavour. Our driving ambition is to bring our cider to the world and place Ayrshire firmly on the cider map.
