What We Do Founded in 2012, Winchester Ciderworks crafts exceptional hard ciders that blend the rich traditions of English cider-making with American innovation. Their all-natural, additive-free ciders are made exclusively from apples grown locally in Frederick County, Virginia. In September 2024, they expanded by opening The Cider House at 30 E Piccadilly St in Winchester, VA, offering a welcoming space for cider enthusiasts to enjoy their diverse range of signature and specialty ciders. Committed to sustainability, Winchester Ciderworks sources apples from neighboring orchards, minimizing transportation emissions and supporting local agriculture. Their environmentally conscious practices include utilizing apple pomace for livestock feed or composting, further reducing waste. As a prominent cider destination in the Mid-Atlantic, Winchester Ciderworks invites the community to experience their handcrafted ciders and join them in promoting local, sustainable beverage production.
