Duration: 6 hours
Harvest time is the best time to visit an apple orchard! Imagine golden sunlight filtering through branches laden with vibrant, ripe apples, filling the crisp autumn air with their sweet fragrance.
This tour starts with a visit to 1818 Farm & Cidery near Carp. The region's newest cidery produces naturally-fermented, barrel-aged ciders in a repurposed post office.
More cider treats await at the picturesque family-owned and operated Farmgate Cider near Kinburn, where they create British-style, sulfite-free ciders from craft and organic apples hand-picked from their orchard.
Finally, we visit Saunders Cider in Munster, where you'll enjoy seasonal ciders as well as the refreshing non-alcoholic Nana's Hug soft cider.

Customer Testimonial:
"The West Carleton tour was wonderful! Presentations at all tour stops were well done and very interesting. Good information about the challenges of growing grapes in this part of the world, of how to extract maximum juice from berries to make good wine and producing pesticide-free apples to make cider. Delicious snacks and food pairing suggestions. A great group of people to tour with. Thanks Ruth and Iona for organizing an enjoyable tour and the opportunity to try delicious local products." - Annie Jessup Adams
