CIDERIES YOU CAN VISIT

Look for the Ontario Craft Cider Association’s red apple logo on bottles and cans. The OCCA has a vision to develop and maintain a world-class cider industry in the province of Ontario using only local fruit and craft methods. Many OCCA members welcome visitors and offer tastings. The following cideries (and wineries that make cider) go a little further and are well worth a special trip.
