Where to buy cider
By Cider Radar · Updated
The widest choice of cider is usually found directly from cider makers — at the farm, the cellar door or their online shop — and in specialist cider shops. Cider bars and festivals are good places to taste before you buy. Supermarkets and wine shops mostly carry the larger brands.
Can I buy cider directly from the maker?
Many cider makers sell from their farm, cider house or online. Open a maker's profile on Cider Radar for its website, social links and location, and check opening times and shipping with the maker before you go. Browse makers by country and region or A–Z.
Where are specialist cider shops?
Specialist shops stock small producers and imported ciders and can advise on styles. See the cider shops listed on the map.
Where can I taste before buying?
Cider bars pour ciders by the glass, and cider festivals and tastings let you try many makers in one day. Many makers also run tastings at their cider house.
What should I look for on the label?
The maker and where it comes from, the apple or pear varieties if given, the sweetness word, whether it is sparkling, and the alcohol content. See cider sweetness and types of cider.
