The Process
Scenic Road specializes in 6 main flavours, each catering to different preferences, styles, and tastes. These flavours include the Razz, Dry, Nearly Dry, Peary, Winter Spice, and Cherry. Throughout the year, seasonal flavours are introduced, typically highlighting other fruits that can be found growing here in the Okanagan.
The production process involves the use of locally sourced apples from their very own orchard, made up of both dessert and cider apples. The apples undergo a strict selection process before being pressed off-site. All other steps including fermentation, storage, bottling, and labeling are performed on site, making it a truly local and hand crafted drink. The use of all natural ingredients ensures the highest quality goes into each bottle, and every cider is gluten free.
