Folktale Cider

Folktale Cider sits on a hillside in Lake Country, a short stroll from Oyama Beach with Wood Lake glittering below. The small-batch ciders here are made from 100% Okanagan apples, ranging from classic, approachable blends to rotating seasonal releases. The owners designed and built the tasting lounge themselves, a true labour of love that opened in spring 2025, and it shows in the warm, welcoming feel of the place. This is a cidery built for all ages and the whole family. The casual lounge and cafe pour their own ciders alongside specialty coffees and a curated selection of local beer and wine, with a seasonal food menu leaning on regional ingredients and comforting flavours. Outside, the orchard grounds turn a tasting stop into an afternoon out: kids can burn off energy on a jumbo jumper, a zipline and a play area, say hello to the chickens in the coop, and you can pick up seasonal produce on your way through. The picnic area welcomes friendly dogs, so no one in the family gets left at home. Open Wednesday through Sunday in the warmer months, Folktale stretches its evening hours on music nights, when the patio fills with the easy hum of live tunes, cider and lake views. Reservations aren't taken, so just roll in and find a spot. What makes it worth a stop is the blend of genuine cider craft and genuine hospitality: a place where you can taste through honest Okanagan ciders, grab a coffee or a bite, let the kids run wild, and settle in with a glass while the sun drops over Wood Lake. It's an easy, feel-good anchor for a day exploring Lake Country.
