    hrs Estimate Duration

OVERVIEW

See how hard cider is crafted from hand-picked New Brunswick apples and sample a flight of these tasty gluten-free vegan beverages. You will take a traditional cable ferry across the Saint John River to reach Yip Cider, a purpose-built facility run by the third-generation of a legendary cider-maker simply known as Yip. All the apples are grown at the nearby Mackay Orchard and then fermented, matured, filtered and bottled at Yip Cider. After viewing the step-by-step process, you will sample a selection of ciders that best display the variety of flavors. You may be served the crisp flagship original blend, a dry cider with citrus notes made with golden russet apples and a light cider with a splash of raspberry. As you will discover, hard ciders can be as complex as many wines. Following the tasting, feel free to take in the views of the Saint John River from the outdoor patio.
