Taves Estate Cidery

Taves Estate Cidery is the newest chapter in a three-generation farming story, set on land in Abbotsford's Southlands where the Taves family has been harvesting apples, berries and seasonal crops for decades. That deep agricultural heritage is exactly what makes the cidery special: the hard ciders here are made with the family's own fruit, giving them a true estate-grown character. The result is a varied range of cider flavours best explored through a flight, alongside cocktails, mocktails and refreshing cider slushies for warm valley afternoons. The setting is pure farm charm. A tasting barn and picnic area, complete with barnyard booths, give the experience a relaxed, rustic feel, and you can pair your cider with crowd-pleasing bites like charcuterie boards, warm dip with toasted naan, soft pretzels, mini churros and kettle corn. It's the kind of place built for lingering with friends and family. What truly sets Taves apart is the surrounding Applebarn, a beloved Fraser Valley destination in its own right offering u-pick apples and berries, sunflower and pumpkin patches, hayrides, corn mazes, farm animals and jumping pillows. That makes a visit ideal for families, letting you combine a grown-up cider tasting with a full day of classic farm fun. Open seasonally on weekends, it's worth checking the current schedule before you head out. Conveniently located in Abbotsford in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Taves is an easy and rewarding stop on any craft-beverage tour, with plenty to keep every member of the group happy. Come sample estate-grown ciders in the tasting barn, settle into the picnic area with a board, and let the farm work its three-generation magic on the whole family.
