Fresh Pressed Sweet Apple Cider – Winner of 2011 Ontario Sweet Cider Competition
Our cider is made with only tree-picked apples and contains no dropped apples (apples that have fallen on the ground). The cider is treated with our Cidersure UV Processor prior to being bottled. This is an FDA approved process that is an equally safe alternative to heat pasteurization. UV treatment is a non-thermal process that meets FDA guidelines to obtain a 5-log reduction in pertinent pathogens. This is equivalent to being 99.999% safe. By not heating the cider, we can preserve all of the flavour, nutrients and quality of the cider while still creating a safe to drink product.
We offer our traditional blended cider along with several single varietal ciders such as Crabapple and Gala in season.

The term cider actually means two things here in North America. It can be “Sweet Cider (Soft Cider)” or “Hard Cider”. “Sweet Cider” is the raw fresh juice from pressed apples. |
Spirit Tree Estate Cidery is located on 46 acres of rolling hills in the town of Caledon, just above the village of Cheltenham, on a ridge of the beautiful Niagara Escarpment |
Fresh pressed sweet apple cider, breads - hand crafted and hearth baked daily in our wood-fired oven, homemade pies and other baked goods and so much |
The name Spirit Tree takes into account the ancient tradition of wassailing as well as being a play on the fact that cider is an alcoholic drink or “spirit” from trees. |
With the ever-increasing cost of energy and the increasing awareness of alternative, environmentally friendly building practices, Spirit Tree Estate Cidery has taken a leadership role. |
