Stowe Cider was founded in 2013 with a vision of bringing something different to the cider scene- a version that boasted less than half the sweetness of most commercial cider. Stowe Cider is a favorite stop among visitors and locals alike. Whether sipping a cider aprés ski, taking a break from a leaf-peeping hike, or looking to enjoy some live music, guests are greeted with a consistently rotating tap selection, and more than 10 varieties available to go. Head Cider Maker and co-owner Mark Ray is constantly developing unique recipes that you will not find anywhere else. Ciders range from dry and preservative-free to others containing local fruits, hops, and unique barrel-aged offerings.
Our ORCHARD-MADE cider is crafted from fruit grown with a conscience, in beautiful and pristine Vermont. Our cidery is located at Champlain Orchards, a family owned and ecologically-managed orchard overlooking Lake Champlain. Every single apple in our Vermont Hard Cider is pressed, fermented, and crafted at our orchard. This makes for a quality, local product that is fresh, crisp and deliciously drinkable.
A boutique winery in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Eden Specialty Ciders makes elegant, small batch ice ciders, harvest ciders and herb-infused aperitif ciders. We make ciders that are unique and innovative, but that also respect the rare and expensive apples we use while refraining from aggressive processing techniques. We instead let our specialty ciders reflect the true essence of the apple and the cold winter climate of Northern New England. All of the apples we use in our ciders are grown by local orchards using environmentally sustainable practices. Fostering a long term partnership, we work with the same growers year after year. In addition, we also grow over 50 apple varieties biodynamically at our farm. When you buy our ciders, you are supporting all of us and our working landscape.
Citizen Cider, founded in 2010 on a hunch and some good old-fashioned hard work, has quickly become a leading player in the craft cider arena. Citizen Cider strives to look at the bigger picture and focuses on being involved in every aspect of their supply chain, sourcing all fruit directly from local farmers and pressing the juice to create a true craft cider. Never from concentrate.
At Shacksbury, we believe cider can, and should, be daring and complex. From gnarled trees on New England farmsteads to Old World orchards in England and Spain, our cider will change the way you think about this amazing fruit.
THE ORIGINAL AMERICAN HARD CIDER
At Woodchuck® we have been crafting America’s original hard cider since 1991. Back then we didn’t really care that the world was drinking beer, because we had a passion for hard cider. So that’s what we made. Sure, cider may be popular now, either way we’ve stayed true to our roots, fermenting quality innovative ciders with every batch, because we like it.

Vermont’s smallest cidery. Orchard steward, cider maker and musician, Teddy Weber began rejuvenating the 25-year old orchard at Mountain Valley Farm in Waitsfield, Vermont in 2013. With over 45 cultivars of apples and countless wild varieties from neighboring farms, Teddy makes traditional dry ciders using wild and cultured yeasts, slow fermentations at natural cellar temperatures, and long barrel aging. He also conducts ongoing research with native wild apples and works the results into his products. All apples are grown between 1000 & 2000 feet in the Mad River Valley and adjacent mountain towns. Tin Hat Ciders can be found at select retailers and special events in Vermont only.

As farmer-winemakers, we embrace the local ecology of apples, soils and microorganisms as they influence the character of our living ciders. While our nursery trees continue to take root for future harvests, we derive our ciders from wild, abandoned and cultivated trees found throughout our farm and neighboring fields, forests, backyards and orchards.
City Roots ciders are fermented exclusively from fresh-pressed apples and never contain sweeteners, additives, or preservatives. Typically off-dry and naturally gluten free, they’re characteristically bright and clean with a crisp effervescence.
Our ciders range from semi-dry, champagne style, bourbon barrel aged, sweet ice ciders. We use a wide range of apples: Macintosh, Empire, Northern Spy and Roxbury Russet.
