Reviews for Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse in Saanichton, BC

I've always loved Sea Cider. It's so nice to visit the island and come here to have a glass of cider and gaze out over the... beautiful orchards. They have cider for every taste, from crisp and dry to "dessert in a glass" types. Read more

We called ahead to get a reservation... Were told they weren't taking reservations because of labour shortage... but they would... take us as walk-ins. Half an hour drive later, we arrived as walk-ins, and were told (ever so politely) that they weren'ttaking walk-ins, and would need a reservation... but... if we wanted, we could purchase a bottle of cider and drink it in theparking lot.

This is a stunning location to taste some cider! Definitely recommend making a reservation, especially on a weekend, as some... others were turned away without one when we were there. The back seating area is lovely with a view of the hills and the waterin the distance. We came for a cider tasting flight our first time, which was great as I was able to customize the ciders Itried. I went with the non-alcoholic tasting the second time, which is highly recommended even for those who like to have thealcoholic flights! Read more

We had a really good time doing the cider flights for tasting here.They were easy to find and had ample parking space. They have... a store front with bottles of their cider as well as lots of locally produced products. Beware that some of these products are alittle pricier than elsewhere on the island. They do have outdoor tables for seating for meals and cider tasting. We shared aflight of 6 ciders between two people, but you can also choose to do a flight of 3. Our waiter was very patient and helpful inrecommending which to try without giving us pressure. Being very amateur to cider-tasting, I can't comment too much on theflavour. I thought they were fruity and pleasant. I would be interested in trying it in combination with their food menutoo. Price was very reasonable for the experience -- just $15.50 for the long flight. I would totally go back with family sothey can try this experience too. Read more

Came to this cidery on a group tour and I absolutely loved it! The ciders are delicious and each one is different. It was a... great way to unwind in the afternoon. Read more

This is possibly the best cidery we've been to to-date. The offerings were diverse and wonderful. Loved the seating options,... view from the outside area onto the farm, and that there was an Italian food truck serving some great eats right by the seatingarea. Perfect treat for a sunny day.

Such a lovely farm and cider house! The selection of alcoholic and dry ciders were pretty decent. Each cider comes with a story... and is served with lots of care. The staff described us each item both before and after they arrived on the table. The team isso friendly and kind. The platter was fairly delicious, just a bit on the pricey side. You could even buy from their shop. Read more

I'll start with what I loved... The location is gorgeous and many of their ciders are delicious. What I didn't love... The... service. The server brought our tasting to our table, didn't tell us anything about the cider then only came back an hour andhalf later to see if we wanted anything else and to let us know they were closing in 30 mins. Service is everything in theservice industry. I take it they either have management issues/staffing issues or are riding on thier laurels by having apicturesque location. Read more
