Sea Cider grows organic heirloom apples on a ten-acre farm on the Saanich Peninsula and makes traditionally fermented ciders: sparkling 750 mL ciders such as Flagship, Bittersweet, Kings & Spies, Cherry Lane, Wassail and the barrel-aged Rumrunner, plus a Fortified Series (Pomona, Pommeau, Raspberry Anne, Black Applejack) in 375 mL bottles and the non-alcoholic Temperance line. The Ciderhouse is open for tastings and lunch year-round.
Sea Cider'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. That closes a market it had built: its own where-to-buy page says the cider is sold "in the states of Washington and Oregon in the USA" alongside BC, Alberta, Ontario and Yukon, and it says its cider "is now available throughout Western North America".Source: seacider.ca, Sep 29, 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.
