Cambium Cider Co.

On a third-generation family orchard above Vernon, Cambium Cider Co. has grown from a cidery into one of the North Okanagan's most inviting destinations, combining orchard, ciderhouse and restaurant in one scenic spot. Formerly known as The BX Press, the operation is rooted in an orchard that has been growing apples since 1946 and today tends more than two dozen varieties, from vintage cider apples to modern cultivars. That deep fruit knowledge shows in the cider, which spans everything from barrel-aged cider with peaches to botanical blends like Lavender Raspberry, all made with real fruits and botanicals and no artificial flavours or colours. When you visit, you can taste in a couple of ways. Tableside tastings are offered at the restaurant during weekday afternoons, while ciderhouse tastings run daily, giving you flexibility to sample the lineup however suits your day. The real magic, though, is staying for a meal. Cambium's wood-fired kitchen turns out a farm-to-table menu built on fresh local produce and quality BC meats, served with views over the surrounding orchards from indoor and outdoor seating. Live music and events bring the place to life, and on select evenings a concert ticket is part of the experience, so it's worth checking ahead when you plan your visit. The setting is the kind of place you linger. Perched amid the rolling orchards of the Coldstream and BX area just outside Vernon, Cambium offers sweeping views, a genuine sense of agricultural heritage, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that invites you to settle in for the afternoon or evening. For travelers exploring the North Okanagan, it's a standout stop that delivers great cider, excellent food and a real taste of family-farm hospitality all in one place.
