Handmade with love
Small-batch cider from branch to bottle
We do everything by hand so that we can craft the highest quality cider, experiment with some interesting ingredients and techniques, and keep it fun.
We embrace the art of wild fermentation to create truly unique ciders. Using wild yeast found naturally on our apples, each batch undergoes a spontaneous fermentation process that captures the authentic flavors of the Okanagan. This traditional method gives our ciders a distinct character and depth, with nuanced flavors that evolve in every can and bottle. The result? A cider that’s a true reflection of nature’s craftsmanship.

How it all started
Founded by 3 friends
We all grew up in the countryside: Robin in southern England, Luke in Saskatchewan, and Mike right here in Summerland.
We started Dominion Cider Co. because we wanted to create something from scratch, with our hands, on land that we steward. We wanted to build a company that celebrates with a cold cider after a day of hard work. A company that is enduring, sustainable, and honest.
Dominion Experimental Farms
That`s what we're named after
Dominion Experimental Farms was an agricultural network stretching from coast to coast created in the late 1800s to support Canadian farmers. It's got more than a century of history here in Summerland, BC. It’s a name that means heritage, collaboration, and innovation — values that inspire us.
Set up to study and develop new apple varieties introduced by early settlers from Europe, the Dominion Experimental Farm created a legacy of distinctive heritage apples around here. Over time, as tastes changed, many orchards were replaced by vineyards – the heritage apples forgotten. We're bringing them back.
