At Artistraw we make wild fermented natural cider from fruit handpicked from ancient, unsprayed traditional orchards which celebrate the terroir of the Marches. From naturally sparkling, to ancestral method these are beautifully presented wine-like ciders worthy of your finest glassware.
Running from April- September our popular tour and tasting is your chance to learn about our museum orchard and how our cider is made. Rich in tales from cider’s colourful history, the tour is also peppered with local stories and folklore.
After admiring the breath-taking views of the Black Mountains at the top of the orchard and exploring the fermentation rooms you will get to enjoy a glass of three different ciders, whilst sat in our permaculture garden during which we will personally talk you through how we created them
Whether you're already a cider connoisseur or have yet to try your first drop, we cater for all and hope you will go away armed with new knowledge about this wonderful beverage and the land and people that produce it!
A Tour and tasting lasts around 1.5 hours.
Paying adults who arrive for their tour without the use of fossil fuels will be gifted either an Artistraw glass or alternatively a hand printed organic tote bag.
Our bottle shop is open all year round and is free to visit! Give us a call or drop us an email to arrange an appointment so that we can make sure we are here to welcome you.
