Twisted Hills Craft Cider

Twisted Hills Craft Cider is a cidery in Cawston, in the Similkameen Valley of British Columbia, an area often described as the heart of Similkameen wine and cider country. Known as the first stand-alone cidery in the Similkameen, Twisted Hills crafts its ciders from estate-grown, certified organic cider apples, producing both hard apple ciders and sparkling soft ciders. The Similkameen Valley is a smaller, rugged, and scenic growing region just west of the Okanagan, celebrated for its organic farming and dramatic mountain-and-river landscapes, and Twisted Hills fits squarely within that ethos.

Visitors can taste through the cidery's lineup in its tasting room, including a distinctive space the cidery calls the Ciderdome, set against the valley's striking hillside scenery. The estate-grown, organic approach gives the ciders a strong sense of place, and the dedicated cider apples used in production set the wines apart from ciders made with dessert fruit. A stop here offers a relaxed, country experience that pairs well with the Similkameen's other organic farms, wineries, and roadside fruit stands, making it a rewarding detour for travelers exploring this quieter corner of BC wine country. Guests can generally expect cider tastings, bottles available for purchase, and a welcoming, small-producer atmosphere. The cidery has historically operated seasonally, roughly spring through fall, with daily hours in the warmer months, so visitors should confirm current opening times before making the trip. For those wanting to discover authentic, organic craft cider in a beautiful valley setting, Twisted Hills Craft Cider is a standout Similkameen destination.
