We Don't Have a Tasting Room. This Is Our Version of One.

Most cideries have a tasting room. You walk in, pour a flight, try five expressions for $15, and walk out with a case of your favourite. It's the best way to convert someone from curious to obsessed.

We don't have that. We're an estate cidery in the Okanagan Valley — we grow our apples, we make our cider, and we ship it across Canada. No storefront. No walk-ins. No flight paddles.

So we built something else.

Build Your Case Is Our Tasting Room

The idea is simple: 12 bottles, five expressions, one flat price of $215 — and you choose the mix. Load it with Barrel Proof. Stack it with Black Hole. Split it evenly across all five. Whatever you want.

We price it the way we do because we want you to actually try everything. Not just order The Core because it's safe. Not just grab what you already know. We want you to crack open a Barrel Proof on a Tuesday night and realize you've been sleeping on barrel-aged cider your whole life.

That moment — that's worth more to us than the margin we give up on a case.

The Math, Honestly

We're not hiding anything. Here's what the numbers look like:

• Curated mix (our recommended tasting blend) — retail value $240.80 — you save $25.80
• Full premium build (all barrel-aged expressions) — retail value $263.40 — you save $48.40

Yes, you save more when you go premium. That's intentional. We want you to try Barrel Proof and Black Hole. We want you to taste what months in a whiskey barrel actually does to cider. We want you to share a bottle with someone who's never had anything like it.

Because that person is going to ask where you got it. And that's how we grow.

Word of Mouth Is Everything for a Small Cidery

We don't have a marketing budget that competes with the big guys. We don't have shelf space in every liquor store. We don't have a tasting room on a busy tourist strip.

What we have is cider that speaks for itself — if people actually get to try it.

Every case that goes out is a chance for someone to open a bottle at a dinner party, pour it for a friend, and have that friend ask where it came from. That's the whole game for a small estate cidery. Get the cider in front of people. Let it do the talking.

Build Your Case is how we do that at scale. One flat price, your mix, delivered to your door. Try everything. Find your obsession. Tell someone about it.
