Riley’s cidery sits amongst nearly a thousand varieties of heirloom apples in a one-of-a-kind apple orchard on Bowen Island in British Columbia. The orchard was planted over a 30 year period by John and Josephine Riley, apple tree collectors and enthusiasts, who have an absolute wealth of knowledge.

In 2019, Christine and Rob were lucky enough to take over from John and Josephine to help preserve this incredible living museum, and from this idea Riley’s Cidery took shape. The husband and wife duo spent years living in London and picked up a taste for traditional apple cider, so the idea came easily when the orchard came into their care.

Parking

There is limited parking at the cidery itself, but additional parking is available outside the entrance, along Laura Road.

Space is limited: please register

Since this is a working cidery our tours will be in two shifts, starting one hour before the Cidery opens to the public. Space is limited, so you must register in advance for one of the two time slots, and arrive early so that you can join the tour at that time.

• The first tour is at 11:00 am;

• The second tour is at 11:30 am.  This tour is now full. Only the 11:00 am tour is available.

We encourage you to sign up early to avoid disappointment.
