Tour of the Barrels

Following the sell-out success of last year’s event we are once again opening up the cellar of The Cider Works to the intrepid as part of our British Cider week celebrations.

If you’ve been on one of our tours before then think again as this is next level access, where you will get to taste juice from rare and unknown apple varieties and small batch ciders that may never see the light of day. You’ll discover the flavours of ciders as they mature and find out what the cider makers are looking for when they are creating new cider blends.

The intimate tour will be followed by cheese and charcuterie platters, giving you a chance to sit and talk with Barny Butterfield and the cider makers to pick their brains further on all things cider.

There are only a very limited number of tickets available for this specialist tour so book early to avoid disappointment.

Sandford Orchards Tour of the Barrels

*SOLD OUT*

Once a year we open up the cellar of the ciderworks to the intrepid… Taste ciders which may never see the light of day, discover the flavours of ciders as they mature – and what the cider makers are looking for when they are creating blends and new ciders.

Rare ciders straight from the wood, dry ciders from mighty 50,000 gallon vats and firm favourites before they make their appearance in a bottle or keg.

Bring interested taste buds and a broad mind!
