Summer just got a lot more sippable ☀️🍹

Our new summer cocktail flight is here, and it’s four rounds of proof that our team knows how to have fun behind the bar.

We’re talking a blood orange gin soda, a floral and fruity Aura Gin sipper, a lime cider mojito built on our own Jalisco cider, and an orange creamsicle slushie that needs no explanation.

Order them individually or grab the flight and try all four.

No booking required, just show up and let us take it from there.

Find us in Cobble Hill, Cowichan Valley. Open this summer and ready for you.

📍Merridale Cidery & Distillery

Cider straight from the orchard. Spirits distilled on the farm. Cocktail classes, orchard tours, yurt stays, farm to table eats, and a tasting room that makes it hard to leave.

Dogs welcome. Kids welcome. Good people, always. 🍎

Slushies are back ✨

And they make things better!

We have our tangy Jalisco slushie (this one’s boozy) and our alcohol free Creamsicle slushie in rotation.

Pro-tip: you can add a drizzle of either our blackberry or raspberry liqueurs to either. You won’t be sorry!

See you at the farm ❤️🍎

The Orchard Picnic is new this year.

Perfect for couples, friend groups, and anyone who’s been meaning to just slow down for a bit.

You’ll start with a cider tasting at the Farmhouse, then settle into the lower orchard with a shared charcuterie, a litre of estate cider, and a blanket. 90 minutes in one of the most beautiful spots in the Cowichan Valley.

Advance booking only. Link in bio to reserve your spot. 🍎

Share this with your picnic buddy ✨❤️
