Cider Centre in Devon?

bekkithedevil

Hi All,

I'm going to Exmouth next week and really want to visit a cider making place (don't know what the correct word for it it!). Something like Tuckers Maltings where you get a tour and maybe samples, but for cider. South Devon would be great, but we can always travel on our way back home.

Anyone know a place? Google is not my friend today and isn't helping!

Thanks in advance

That looks great! Is it just a shop or can you tour around as well?

Thanks

I would also highly reccomend Sheppys, or Westons at Much Marcle (but they are BIG) www.westons-cider.co.uk just don't drink and drive as the real thing is much stronger than your Magners etc.:beer:

I didn't see a tour when I was there, but the shop was very good and well stocked and lots of samples to try :T :beer::rotfl:

we called at a cider farm in Somerset last week, there was no tour of the farm, to see cider being made as it was the wrong time of year, I was told they don't start pressing ( presumably the apples) until end of september.

If you want something a little closer, try Darts Farm: http://www.dartsfarm.co.uk/, about 20 mins from Exmouth. They have a shop with local beers and ales as well as cider, and during the apple pressing season, 'you can hear our traditional cider making machinery clunking away, spreading the wonderful smell of fragrant Devon apples throughout the farm shop. Visit us for a free tasting session.' !! Maybe have nominated driver who doesn't sample!
