Front Road Ciderworks is the cidery at Blueberry Hill Estates, a family farm and winery in Norfolk County making small-batch hard ciders from Ontario fruit: the easy-drinking Lakeside Hard Cider, The Fighter (apple with blueberries and blackberries) and Applejack, a freeze-fractioned cider aged in bourbon barrels, sold alongside Front Road Cellars wines, a dry blueberry wine and house vermouths.
Front Road Ciderworks's packaged cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty that applied from August 22, 2026. Its fruit wine and vermouth fall under the same ban. We found no public statement from Blueberry Hill about US sales.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
Made in Canada
The cidery and winery are on the farm at "1195 Front Road St. Williams, ON N0E1P0", where the team says "At Front Road Ciderworks at Blueberry Hill Estates, we're creating seriously small-batch hard ciders from 100% Ontario fruit" and that it uses "the amazing ingredients that grow right in our backyard including apples, berries and botanicals." The old frontroadciderworks.com address no longer resolves; the cidery now lives on the Blueberry Hill site.
