Crafted in the alley. Enjoyed everywhere.

Thoughtfully made cider from West Coast apples; balanced, expressive, and built to drink anywhere. Whether you have it in our tasting room, on the trail, or out in the wild.

Ponderosa Cider Co. is a craft cidery tucked down an alley in Auburn, California, making thoughtfully crafted cider from West Coast apples.

We blend tradition with experimentation—creating balanced, flavorful ciders that don’t rely on sweetness and are always easy to come back to.

Dangerously delicious. No shortcuts. No fluff.
