Riley's Cidery makes traditional apple ciders in 750 mL bottles from an orchard of nearly a thousand heirloom apple varieties on Bowen Island: Long Lost Apples, a blend of the whole heritage-orchard harvest and bittersweet apples; Sip & Tell, from organic Similkameen McIntosh; Doppel Jack, with quince from their own orchard; and Berry Mac, McIntosh cider with fresh-pressed BC raspberries. The cidery pours tastings and sells bottles at the orchard.
Riley's packaged Cidery's 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. We found no public statement from Riley's about US sales; its stockist list is in Vancouver, the Sea to Sky corridor and on Bowen Island, and online orders ship within Canada.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 cider is made at the orchard at 620 Laura Road on Bowen Island, BC, where "Riley’s cidery sits amongst nearly a thousand varieties of heirloom apples in a one-of-a-kind apple orchard on Bowen Island in British Columbia." Apples come from their own orchard and from Four Winds Farm, an organic orchard in the Similkameen Valley.
