Cider apple varieties are very different from eaters – bitter and typically inedible off the tree, they're floury and everything you wouldn’t want compared to the taste of a nice dessert apple. Do take care what you pick should you plan to go scrumping soon!

From wonderful varieties like Dabinett, Kingston Black, and Yarlington Mill, to amusing old names like Slack ma Girdle, Foxwhelp and Brown Snout, all speak of heritage hundreds of years old, passed down much unchanged in growing and making.

It’s that time of the year, the children are back at School, the evenings are drawing in - and our now famous Cider Advent Calendars are back! Pre-order are now live for delivery by the end of October.

This year we've worked incredibly hard to maintain and hold the same great price of £89.00, despite it being bigger and better than ever.

The 2024 version is packed with old favourites – but for regular buyers half of the ciders are brand spanking new, including a record number of bigger 500ml bottles too.

Discover a 330ml bottle or can every day, with a few 500ml thrown in too, of lovely, 100% full juice cider, hiding behind each numbered door. It's the only way we'd want to count down the days in December and build up to the Big Day.

Numbers are limited, as we brace our soon-to-be-sore elbows for packing thousands and thousands of bottles, so please order early to secure yours.

Oh, and PS: all our Advent Calendar are sent in a plain brown outer box, totally discrete if you are buying as a gift for someone and need to keep
it a secret.

Cider is mostly associated with the West Country and the Three Counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. So this month, we’ve had fun scanning the shires outside these parts to assemble a case of ciders from beyond these main regions, demonstrating the countrywide nature of craft cider production.

From Yorkshire to Hampshire, Berkshire to Nottingham, we salute you and your ciders in our August case! Fasten your seatbelt, we are off on a cross-country roadtrip this month!

Featuring some standout new additions to our collection from the likes of and , we challenge you not to be taken by something new with this one.

Artisanal cidres from our favourite Breton producers 

For a short time only, we are offering you 20% off three and six cases.

The Brittany area of Northern France has a very similar climate and terrain to the cider growing heartlands of the West Country, so it grows a mean apple too.

There are numerous established family cider-making businesses right across the Brittany and Normandy belt, and while Calvados may be better known from that area, it’s distinctive Brut ciders are wonderful too.

We have chosen 3 superb examples from family cider makers, all supplied in 750ml champagne style bottles, served chilled these wonderful ciders provide a lighter and lower alcohol alternative to Prosecco at 4-5%. Perfect with fish, meats and of course pâté. 
 
Best enjoyed in the sunshine, we believe, there’s not been a better time to take advantage of such a particularly keen price. Stock up now for delivery in plenty of time for the weekend. No discount code needed, simply head straight to the checkout through the link in our bio to enjoy a steal.
