A Proper Cider

At Stone Circle Cider, we love everything about cider—its simplicity, its tradition, its drinkability and, most of all, the diverse array of complex and beautiful flavors it affords those that get their hands on the best stuff. In pursuit of this passion, we are thrilled to produce a line of ciders that incorporates all of these aspects in the way it has been made in Southwest England for over a thousand years…on the farm. We operate on our family farm, a beautiful property about 25 miles outside of Portland in Estacada, Oregon. 

We take tradition seriously. 

By keeping the cider making process simple, choosing the right apples, and giving the cider time to age, we are able to make outstanding cider that is packed with richness and character.

Cider is made from cider apples. 

You don't make great wine with table grapes, and the same holds true for cider.  That is why we blend English bittersweet apples with American heirloom apples in our ciders.

Apples are seasonal and so is cider making.

We press apple juice in the fall,  allow it to ferment and age slowly throughout the winter and spring, and enjoy it throughout the rest of the year.  Having patience with cider makes all the difference.

This is the tradition of cider and its history, and in our opinion is the only way to make proper cider.

The Tasting Room

We welcome guests to visit our farm and enjoy tastings and glasses at our family and dog friendly tasting room. The experience features a cozy stove heated tasting room with information about the history and culture of cider, a pondside picnic area with firepit, game area, and an outdoor shelter to help protect you from the elements. Visit during events for lively fun, or any other time for a relaxed atmosphere.

Currently open summer hours: Fridays 4-8, Saturday and Sunday 12-6

The Farm

We own a 36 acre farm, just outside of Estacada, Oregon. It's a beautiful property that offers lovely views of the Willamette Valley and Coastal Range Mountains. The farm had been exclusively in Christmas trees, but we began the transition to heirloom variety cider apples in 2015. We've continued to transition more and more space into cider apples every year since.

The Orchard

We have a young but traditional-holistic apple orchard. Instead of relying on synthetic poisons and fertilizers, we focus on the health of the trees by establishing a microorganism rich environment that enhances the tree's natural defenses against pests or blight. This is the responsible way to propagate apples and it produces a better quality cider fruit. More intensive approaches  usually require the addition of nitrogenous fertilization, which create fruits with more water, diluting the sugar and flavor in the juice.

The Pond

No farm is truly complete without a quaint little pond to be enjoyed.  Our  spring-fed pond is home to a variety of aquatic animals.  Lazy days are well spent feeding the fish or watching a Blue Heron or Otter show off its fishing skills, all enhanced with a cold glass of cider.  

The Neighborhood

We are very fortunate to be located in a part of the world with a tremendous amount to offer. The Estacada area, located adjacent to the National Forest, offers visitors and residents easy access to spectacular hiking trails, thrilling whitewater rafting, perfectly calm waterways for paddleboarding, quaint shops & restaurants, and world class disc golf.

Our Ciders

It is slow fermented and left unfitlered to retain flavor. It features a beutiful dark golden color and a rich and robust apple aroma and flavor.

A simple splash of cherry juice adds a whole new world of flavor to this traditional, unfiltered English farmhouse cider. Made with pie cherries and  tart apples, this semi-dry cider is the right kind of sour. Pro tip: slow cook pork loin in a bath of this cider for an amazing experience.
