About Thornbury Premium Cider
Thornbury Cider is the flagship product of Thornbury Village Cider House & Brewery. We proudly craft our cider in the midst of 7,500 acres of apple orchards, in the heart of apple country. Thornbury Village Cider House & Brewery was established with the aim to produce premium quality ciders that would tantalize the palette. Using the finest apples that these orchards have to offer, we have created an easy drinking, light, crisp and refreshing cider.
Thornbury Premium Cider is a truly original Canadian cider that tastes like a traditional English cider: dry, crisp and premium. It’s made with 100% fresh-pressed local apples (not from concentrate), this 5.3% ABV cider is cold filtered to maintain maximum flavour and aroma. Great news for those with gluten sensitivity, Thornbury Premium Apple Cider is 100% gluten free. This cider is best served chilled, with or without ice.
Our passion for what we do shows in our cider.

We have invested time and effort into transforming the building into one of the most efficient production systems and modern cider houses in Ontario. Boasting a cider maker with a passionate obsession, we strive to continuously enhance the quality of our ciders with the hope that one day Thornbury will be associated with cider the same way Niagara is associated with Canadian wine.
