Ten years in the making
Ten years. That’s how long owners Jamie Smith and Sarah Newman say the place took. Jamie is also the cider maker, and the cider house opened its doors on June 7, 2026.
On its website, the family calls the cider house “a true labour of love” that began as “one of the most challenging properties on the block.”
They raised their three kids on the farm while they worked on it, step by step. “Through years of hard work and perseverance, what once felt overwhelming became something we’re deeply proud of,” they write.
The Snitch keeps no secrets
The house motto is “Where sophistication meets you in the barnyard,” and the ciders lean hard into the barnyard. There are four, all made with BC apples, all 6.3 per cent and gluten-free.
The G.O.A.T. is the dry flagship, “the one that started it all.” The Snitch is semi-dry and opens with blackberry before the lime “cuts through like a juicy secret that shouldn’t have been spilled.” The Bandit sneaks in mango and a trace of serrano, “not hot, just a sly little warmth.” And The Ol’ Heifer, with strawberry and lychee, is “absolutely convinced she’s right.”
Whoever writes those tasting notes deserves a raise.
Insider highlight
“Finish: Dry, refreshing, and no BS”
Manners Cider’s tasting notes for The G.O.A.T.
Sarah’s Secret is on the menu
The food is meant for sharing. Think Gentleman’s Pocket calzones, pretzel bites with cider cheese sauce and a baked brie the menu calls The Fancy Farmhand. Any pizza can be made gluten-free.
Then there are the wings called Sarah’s Secret. The menu describes “a mysterious Asian-inspired glaze that keeps people ordering another pound.” We can’t tell you what’s in it. That’s sort of the point.
Join the cider club
Regulars can join The Guest List, the cider club, which comes with three or four curated pickups a year and 15 per cent off extra cider, tastings and merch.
No walk-ins, on purpose
Manners is a small-batch cidery with limited seating, so it runs on reservations only. The family says that lets the team prepare for each group and keep visits from feeling rushed.
Book through OpenTable before you drive out. After Dec 13, check the website for spring hours.
