Millionaires' Row Craft Cider: A Taste of Summerland
The spirit of the Okanagan at Millionaires' Row Craft Cider, a family-operated cidery is deeply rooted in the tradition and history of Summerland, British Columbia. Engage with a century-old orchard where each bottle is of cider is a story of legacy and taste.
Crafting the Experience
At Millionaires' Row, the focus is on crafting exceptional cider using various apples, including everything from modern dessert apples like Ambrosia and Gala to traditional cider apples. This blend is crucial as it brings out unique flavours and qualities in each cider. The family trio of Nelson, Brett, and Janet Annable lead the cidery, infusing fun and passion into every aspect of their craft, from tending the orchard to hosting tastings.
The Tasting Room and Orchard
Step into the Millionaires' Row tasting room, open daily, where the Annable family shares their craft with visitors. The tasting experiences are hosted at a stand-up bar in the cellar, providing guests with insights into the rich history of the place and the intricate process of cider-making. Outside, the orchard offers a picnic area with striking views of Conkle and Giants Head Mountains, perfect for enjoying a chilled cider right where the apples are grown.
Their Ciders
Millionaires' Row boasts a diverse range of ciders, each with a distinct character:
- High n' Dry: A dry blend with a floral apple aroma and a spicy finish, ideal with spicy foods.
