Tasting Room & Events

At Ponderosa Cider we craft our ciders and wines through creative fermentation practices. All of our cider go through a specific aging process to bring out the subtlety in the fruit. Some of our cider will be aged for several month in oak vats and barrels while other remain in stainless steel for for a fresh crisp finished cider. Every batch of juice is selected for its sugar, acid and tannin balance. We work with several fruit and juice providers from backyard growers to large scale juice processors. Our philosophy is local first, however we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what cider can be, so if that means bringing hops from the pacific northwest for our hopped ciders or a specific apple variety that is not available locally we strive to get the best ingredients for our products.
