Looking for Sea Cider in the US? 🇺🇸@pressthe Looking for Sea Cider in the US? 🇺🇸@pressthenpress Has you covered! #repost @pressthenpress IYKYK! Sea Cider (@seaciderhouse) ciders are a favorite of our customers, and none are more popular than Prohibition (aka Rum Runner depending on what side of the border you’re on). But don’t just take it from us! We sent six bottles of Prohibition to a new customer today. When asked how they found our cider shop, they replied: . ”We were just on a cruise and went cider tasting in Victoria, BC. We stopped at Sea Cider and LOVED the Rumrunner… thought it would be a cool addition to our Holiday meals.” … we agree! . Visit @pressthenpress to get your favorite @seaciderhouse ciders shipped to (almost) anywhere in the US! 🥂🍎🍾 . . . #seacider #cider #drinkmorecider #pickcider #pickgoodcider #drinkyourapples #victoriabc #bccider #vancouverisland

Meet the Calville Blanc d'Hiver🍏⁠ ⁠ She isn Meet the Calville Blanc d'Hiver🍏⁠ ⁠ She isn't much to look at but this classic dessert apple has a special place in our hearts as it was the heart of our very first cider ever produced. Either French or German origin it was first documented in 1598.⁠ This large, flattish, pale green apple develops a red blush on the sun exposed side. Lumpy, often misshapen with prominent ribs that extend the fruit ending in a 5 pointed crown at the base. What makes it the star of the show is that it has one of the highest vitamin C contents, roughly three times more than other apple varietals!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸@megan.faschoway

What makes an HEIRLOOM APPLE? 🍎🍎⁠ ⁠ Heir What makes an HEIRLOOM APPLE? 🍎🍎⁠ ⁠ Heirloom apples are older apple varieties passed down from multiple generations. Unlike grocery store apples, heirloom apples offer a complexity of flavor and come in diverse textures, sizes and shapes. ⁠ ⁠ Cider can be made with grocery store apples but it's often lacking in flavour and acidity leaving a quite 'thin' or watery tasting. Apples that have acid that'll hurt your teeth and tannin that will instantly dry every inch of your mouth out make for the best cider you could ask for. ⁠ ⁠ Sea Cider’s Heirloom Series of ciders pays tribute to apples that have stood the test of time and produced some of the world’s finest cider. The ciders in this series are handcrafted on our farm, and have been developed to highlight the robust varietals deeply rooted in tradition.⁠ ⁠ 📸@megan.faschoway⁠

Meet the Orleans Reinette🍎⁠ ⁠ This sharp ap Meet the Orleans Reinette🍎⁠ ⁠ This sharp apple was first discovered in France in 1776. ⁠ ⁠ Dryer flesh with a sweet juice and aromas of sweet citrus, honey and nuts. ⁠ A medium sized apple with an often flattened shape (a bit like a donut) and fine white flesh. Stunning colouring with a yellowy-green base, orange russetting and a red blush. It's fall personified. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸@megan.faschoway⁠ #SeaCider #raiseaglass #celebratewithcider #BCFarmCraftedCider #organicorchard #estatecider #finecider #Local #Cider #craftcider #organic #farming #hardcider #explorebc #explorevanisle #drinklocal #supportlocal #organicfarming #pnw #victoriabuzz #explorevictoria #beautifulbc #seacider #yyjfood #yyjdrink⁠ #pickcider #nwcider #love #heritage #showmeyourharvest
Meet the Karmijn de Sonneville 🍏⁠ ⁠ Pronoun Meet the Karmijn de Sonneville 🍏⁠ ⁠ Pronounced 'Carmine', this apple hails from the Netherlands and is one of the newer varietals in our orchard with a ripe young birth year of 1971. ⁠ ⁠ Orange-red flushing on a green background and russetting more often than not. This apple measures highest in both sugars and acids, so much so that freshly off the tree its intensity can be overwhelming to the palate. Honeyed and nutty flavours are prominent in this rich and juicy stunner. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸megan.faschoway⁠ ⁠

Meet the Wolf River🍎⁠ ⁠ Discovered in 1875 Meet the Wolf River🍎⁠ ⁠ Discovered in 1875 and is said to be seeds from a Russian Alexander apple that were brought with a man from Quebec to his new home in Wisconsin on the Wolf River. ⁠ ⁠ This sweet apple is lightly tart, highly aromatic and intensely juicy. The second largest apple in our orchard and is a bakers dream as you only need one or two to bake a pie with them. ⁠⁠ A very unique apple as it's one of the only known apples to produce apples of its likeness from seeds without the need for grafting. ⁠ ⁠ 📸@megan.faschoway

Meet the Chisel Jersey 🍎⁠ ⁠ A smallish bitt Meet the Chisel Jersey 🍎⁠ ⁠ A smallish bittersweet varietal that is high in big harsh tannins, high in sugars and very low in malic acid, this is a great blending apple to amp up the body in traditional ciders. Round with a slight conic base, bright green skin with a pink blush and red striping. ⁠ ⁠ Originating in Somerset, England, sometime in the 19th century. It's one of the most famous apples of this region and fast became a favourite in North America for the trees cold hardy growing abilities. ⁠ ⁠ We're busy harvesting these gems this week along with several other varietals as our harvest continues in full swing. ⁠ ⁠ 📸@megan.faschoway

Today we commemorate the National Day of Truth and Today we commemorate the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡⁠ ⁠ We are grateful to operate on the traditional unceded lands of the W̱SÁNEĆ (Saanich) peoples, and in particular, the W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W̱SIKEM (Tseycum), and SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) First Nations. ⁠ ⁠ This is a time to reflect on the tragic legacy of residential schools, the missing children, the families left behind and the survivors of these institutions. We acknowledge the strength and resilience of our indigenous communities and stand with you in a path of truth and reconciliation. ⁠ ⁠ Our Ciderhouse will remain open from 11am to 6pm, but we will honour the day by donating a portion of today's sales to the Indigenous Perspectives Society (IPS). The IPS raises awareness and gives a voice to Indigenous people by providing culturally relevant training, research, and policy that support indigenous children, youth, families and businesses. ⁠ .⁠ Learn more at: https://ipsociety.ca/

The trees are full of plump apples pulling their branches to the earth, while the bins of already harvested apples smell like autumn. 🍎🍂 Our friends at Sea Cider work tremendously hard this time of the year harvesting their bounty, using a traditional fermentation process to craft their organic ciders. Visit them from 11 - 6pm to sample their craft. 🍁 📍📷 @seaciderhouse . . . #ExploreVictoria #yyj #victoriabc #victoriahype #tourismvictoria #ExploreBC #ExperienceVancouverIsland #ExploreCanada #pnw #pnwwonderland #yyjbusiness #saanichton #raiseaglass #craftcider #cidery #cider #cidertasting #appleorchard #appleharvest #appletree #orchard #farmfresh #harvestseason #fallphotography #seacider
