A Day at the Cidery!

My girlfriends and I are always looking for fun restaurants and activities for when we get to steal a couple of hours away from our beloved children. A few weeks ago one of them suggested we should go cider tasting sometime. I didn’t even realize that there was a local cidery where we could do that… I love cider, so imagine my excitement! Turns out that I am not super out of the loop…. the Cidery only opened their doors in May 2016 and I have been pretty tied up the last few years having babies… lol. Well wouldn’t you know, the stars aligned for us and we were able to both have a few hours free on a beautiful Sunday morning. We decided this would be the perfect opportunity to make a trip to the Fraser Valley Cider Company! The moment we walked in I knew that I was in love. The tasting room was full of rustic charm and so many cute details. The tasting was a good deal as well… only $4.00 or waived if you purchased a bottle (which obviously we did!) The staff was so lovely and knowledgeable and the ciders were seriously delicious. We decided to order a charcuterie plate and a bottle of the Rosy (a raspberry infused cider) and sat outside in the picnic area to enjoy it. An added bonus is that everything they offer to eat and drink is locally sourced… as I love to shop local & support small businesses!

We both loved the ciders we tasted and had such an awesome time there. If you are looking for something fun to do one weekend (they are currently only open Friday, Saturday, Sunday) I definitely recommend a trip to the Fraser Valley Cider Company! My husband had asked me to bring him home a bottle of my favourite… I couldn’t decide so I had to buy one of each… lol. With the exception of the sold out Elderflower Cider… they were just in the middle of brewing a new batch. Guess I will have to make another trip back soon….. ;))
