Award-winning cider produced in the heart of Somerset.

Flavour like no other

The feature of Stones cider is the taste of the apples it is made of. Our years of experience has shown the real value of identifying and selecting the best apples for our cider.

All our ciders are made from freshly crushed apples harvested in central Somerset from known orchards and specific varieties where the fresh juice comes to us less than 24 hours after harvesting and crushing.

We focus on soft Tannins to make smooth drinkable ciders. Our main apple varieties include Dabinett, Yarlington Mill, Morgan Sweet, Stembridge Clusters, Browns, Kingston Black and a selection of the 14 traditional varieties grown in the historic Glastonbury Abbey Orchard. We allow the selection of the selected apples to determine the taste of the cider.
