Newton Court Cider is part of an 157 acre certified organic farm with 30 acres of cider apple and perry pear orchards. We are proud to make award winning ciders and Perries using fruit from our own orchards or from friends in Herefordshire. We pick, press, ferment and bottle everything ourselves.
For us, craft cider means cider that's pressed at our farm by a master cider maker named Paul (and a few of his local friends). It means making cider out of proper apples. It means a cidery surrounded by orchards, not industrial equipment. It means people covered in mud and apple peels, not people in suits. Buying craft cider supports local business, the heritage and the countryside (find out more about on our environment page). But most of all, craft cider tastes much, much better.

500ml bottle shared with Finn at the Hereford Cider Museum. Naked at the top, poor lacing, clear late straw coloured body. Moderate smell of apple skins, dry. Firm taste of apples, dry and rather sweet. Rounded ending with lasting apple taste. Okay in smaller amounts. (Hereford 17.10.2022).
