Orchard Hill Estate Cidery

Orchard Hill Estate Cidery sits on the sun-soaked Golden Mile bench between Oliver and Osoyoos, where the Dhaliwal family has farmed since founding the cidery in 2006. Their approach is refreshingly simple: 100% Okanagan dessert apples, grown on their own orchard, made into clean, true-to-the-fruit ciders. The guiding values are quality, simplicity and authenticity, and a commitment to a product that is made in BC and entirely Canadian. The core lineup leans crisp and approachable, with bottlings like Red Roof, the lively Okanagan Bubbly and a refreshing Extra Dry. The family has been expanding into new fruit-forward styles using peach, cherry and pear, with canned versions broadening how and where you can enjoy them. Because the ciders start with eating apples rather than tannic cider varieties, they tend toward a bright, easy-drinking character that's especially welcome on a hot south-Okanagan afternoon. Visitors are welcomed seasonally at the orchard, with generous daytime hours through the growing season that stretch longest in the height of summer. The setting is the draw here: a genuine working family orchard on one of the warmest, most scenic agricultural benches in the country, just off Highway 97 near Road 22. It's a chance to taste cider where the apples actually grow and to meet a family that has been part of the region's fruit-growing fabric for decades. What makes Orchard Hill worth a stop is its honest, unfussy character. There's no gimmickry, just well-made estate cider from a longtime farming family in one of BC's prime fruit-growing pockets. Fold it into a tour of the Oliver-Osoyoos wine and cider country for a relaxed, authentic taste of the south Okanagan.
