Gregg's Pit Cider & Perry

We make our cider and perry in season, from late September to December, with what nature provides - that’s just 100% fresh pressed juice from named varieties of sun-ripened vintage fruit and wild yeasts, fermented and matured in stainless steel tanks.

We're proud to harness traditional methods using our ancient stone press, which dates from the 18th century. We work with nature to manage the orchards and create our products, with pomace (pressed fruit pulp) going to feed neighbouring Hereford cattle, and recycling wastewater.

Our product range includes small batches of single variety and named varietal blends of draught, bottled conditioned ‘Normandy method’ and in-bottle fermented naturally sparkling ciders and perries, and a vintage Pear Spirit.

We have been granted Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) for all our products since 2003.

We specialise in perry, winning 13 Big Apple Champion Perry awards between 1996 and 2017, CAMRA UK Gold Champion Perry 2008, and CAMRA West Midlands Gold Champion Perry 2009 and 2010.

We offer an informal events programme including unique product releases, bespoke tastings, cider and perry making training courses, guided orchard tours to ‘walk, talk and taste’, ‘meet the trees and makers’ and 'drink the view’.
