Description:

The Lambourn Valley Cider Company was formed in December 1995 to produce real Berkshire cider from local apples. We use fruit of all types - cookers, eaters, crab apples and even some genuine cider apples such as Dabinett - which grow in gardens and on farmland in the countryside around Newbury. We also produce a perry - a rare enough drink anywhere and almost unheard of in Berkshire. Whatever different varieties of fruit go into the press, they all have one thing in common - they come from trees unsullied by pesticides and growing on land free of artificial fertilisers and agrochemicals. Although we are not registered with the Soil Association, our cider and perry are effectively organic.
