  Please join us for Cider tasting.

  West Avenue's award winning Cider House is nestled in the heart of Ontario's Golden Horseshoe, surrounded by orchards and nature. It blends rustic charm with sophistication while offering deliciously crafted heritage cider, wood-fired food and local artisanal goods.

  As small batch producers of hard cider, West Avenue cares about the quality of the fruit that goes into their cider. They use the best ingredients, coupled with a slow fermentation process, so every batch is characteristic of the orchard's terroir.

  
  

  You will sample a flight of 3 ciders, while you enjoy your lunch.

  
  

  Our guide will introduce us to the cider making process and answer any questions. You may stroll about the property if you wish.
