Upside Cider

Just off Highway 97 near the Kelowna airport, Upside Cider invites you onto its own working farm for a craft cider experience that leans bold and creative. This is a cidery that treats apples seriously, drawing on selected varieties and careful storage to build ciders with real depth, then has fun with them. Expect an adventurous, fruit-forward lineup of flights and pints featuring ciders like Coconut Hibiscus, Earl Grey, Plum Rose, Hazy Nectarine, Tropical Pear and the heritage-style Kingston Black, alongside local craft beer, wine and kombucha for non-cider drinkers in your group.

The lounge is open year-round, and the standout is a rooftop patio that makes for an easy afternoon under Okanagan skies. The kitchen keeps pace with the drinks, turning out wood-fired pizza, fried chicken and charcuterie boards built around local artisan cheeses and cured meats, so you can settle in for a full meal rather than just a quick taste. Order a flight to sample across the range, then pour a full pint of whatever wins you over.

Upside positions itself as Kelowna's premier craft cidery, and there's a genuine farm-and-sustainability ethic behind the branding, with an emphasis on biodiversity and growing on site. The setting is relaxed and welcoming, equally suited to a casual stop on a tasting tour or a longer lingering visit with friends. Whether you are deep into cider or just curious what BC apples can become, this is an approachable, generous spot to find out. If you are touring the Kelowna area, Upside is an easy and rewarding detour, blending good cider, good food and a sunny patio in one stop close to town.
