Sabile ciders are crafted from natural apple juice using traditional cider-making methods.

Our Story 
The owners of Sabile Cidery are the Circenis family – Baiba and Aldis. The idea of the cidery came from both tending the family orchard near Sabile, where old, majestic apple trees grow, and from learning about cider culture and production traditions in England and France.

Apples  
The apples used for cider-making are grown in the orchards of Kurzeme – both dessert apples and specially selected varieties suitable for cider production.

Ciders 
Sabile's ciders are intense, yet fresh and sparkling, with or without additional flavours. Two brands of cider are produced: Sabiles Cider and Gardener's. There are also mulled ciders and cider cocktails available. Sabile's ciders have won awards at international competitions in Spain, Germany, Norway, and Riga.

For Visitors
The cidery offers tours with stories about cider-making in Sabile, as well as tastings at the Sabile's Cider House.

Where to Buy
Sabile's and Gardener's ciders can be purchased at major retail chains, specialized shops, the Sabiles Cider House, and the Sabiles Cider online shop at sabilessidrs.lv.
