There’s no better time to enjoy Ontario Craft Cider than harvest season, and this year, Ontario Craft Cider Week (September 19–26, 2025) is the perfect invitation. Across the province, cideries will be opening their doors for orchard tours, tastings, pairings, and fall celebrations that capture the flavour of the season.
Cider has been typecast for years—pigeonholed as sweet, fizzy, and only for patio season. But talk to Ontario cider makers, walk through an apple orchard at harvest, or sip a bottle-fermented, bone-dry blend, and the story changes fast. In Ontario, cider-making is an agricultural craft. It’s terroir, technique, and tradition poured into every glass.
