The London Cider Salon is less than two weeks away!
We are excited to host numerous growers and makers from the historic cider lands of Herefordshire. Joining us will be:
Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company
@rosscider located in the heart of Herefordshire, grows more than 100 varieties of heritage apples and pears to create natural, wild-fermented drinks. Each of their releases is a deliberate expression of their farm’s terroir, ranging from single-variety showcases to intricate blends that reflect the landscape’s diverse fruit tapestry. By combining deep family tradition with a forward-thinking, innovative craft, they produce an eclectic portfolio where every bottle tells a unique story.
Oliver’s Cider and Perry
No fine cider event is complete without Tom Oliver, Often hailed as the “godfather” of the movement.
Merging centuries of regional heritage with decades of mastery, he utilizes wild yeasts and barrel aging to create seasonal releases showcasing Herefordshire fruit, defined by a philosophy that prioritizes character, balance and “drinkability, @tomoliverscider truly “takes what the fruit gives,” with every barrel carefully tracked to become a vintage, a unique blend, or a single varietal. Beyond cider and perry, Tom is delving into the world of spirits, researching historical archives to find traces of English distilling traditions.

Calling orchard volunteers! 📢 If you are available on this Friday April 24th we would love it if you could come along to our orchard action day.
We are carrying on our orchard work. It's topworking season now in our grafting programme, week 3 of 4, and we've moved over to Gammeoolands. There's wood that needs clearing, trees that need grafting, a biochar kiln that needs firing. And that's just for the morning!! We will be working in the orchard from 9.30am to 4pm. We will provide you with lunch and cider!
If you are likely to come along, please send us a DM or email us at [email protected]. We need to know numbers of people attending, so please do send us a message or email to confirm you are coming.
Thank you so much! ❤️
