Cider Hill Cellars is owned and operated by the 3rd generation of the Cook family. With our first hard cider orchard planted in 2012, we opened the hard cidery in 2017 producing what is known as “Orchard Cider”. This is hard cider made  only from 100% of our own fruit that is planted, grown, harvested and pressed here on our 145 acre farm. With 10,000 apple trees on Cider Hill Farm, 1,000 of these are specific for hard cider making.

​

Winter (Frost Cider)

Winter is a special cider variety known as a frost cider. Time consuming and labor intensive to make, we freeze fresh pressed cider and thaw it slowly to produce an intensely rich juice. By fermenting this carefully over many months, we create Winter. There are 20 apples inside this bottle. Winter is both intensely sweet and crisp with a depth of flavor that cannot be matched by any other cider and will improve for several years in the bottle. Winter is a dessert cider, super sweet with high residual sugar, still. 12.5% ABV.
