From Blossom to Bottle - Orchard Tour at Armagh Cider Company

What to Expect

The From Blossom to Bottle tour takes visitors through the working orchards at Ballinteggart House, a family farm where apples have been grown for five generations and cider sold since the 1700s. The tour covers the story of the Armagh Bramley Apple (PGI status since 2012), a stroll through the orchards with apple juice and locally made shortbread among the trees, then a walkthrough of the cidery showing pressing, fermentation, bottling and labelling. The tour concludes with a guided tasting of award-winning ciders. Duration is approximately 1.5 hours.
