Our third stop of the afternoon was to check out Wards Cidery which also houses The View Winery & Vineyard.
Sign outside.
Fab Five eh? Haven’t been to any of those wineries.
They have a small picnic table area.
We dropped in on a Friday (around 3:45pm) for a tasting of their ciders. Staff was kind enough to squeeze us in before a big group’s arrival.
Tasting fee is $5.00/person and includes five pours.
Fee is waived with a purchase and is the same price for a wine or cider tasting. We went with the latter.
All the cider bottles and cans.
InfiniTea tropical green tea
Hint of coconut cake through.
InfiniTea strawberry kiwi
Reminded B of strawberry kiwi fruitopia. We liked their tea infused ciders the most and bought a variety pack ($11.55 for 4) for home.
Wards dry hopped cider
Didn’t like this one much. Not much depth or flavour.
Ginger cider
Very light on the ginger flavour but at least they use fresh ginger.
Harvest spiced cider
You can drink this hot or cold. I liked this one more than the ginger.
Mimosa cider
Tasted some orange notes. The packaging is eye catching.
Wards ciders were run of the mill. Interesting that you can find their cans cheaper in town at Superstore than at their actual facility.
