Westons Cider, Bottles Of Cider & Perry From Taste Herefordshire

Westons Cider

HISTORY
Based in the Herefordshire village of Much Marcle, we have a long family history of premium cider-making with our roots going back to 1880.

Five Weston generations have worked with like-minded colleagues in the pursuit of their passion: creating authentic ciders that people will love.

Where everything we are goes into everything we make. We create original ciders and more than a little history.

Helen’s Story
It all began in 1878 when Henry Weston, my great-grandfather, settled here and began to produce ciders and perries.

Using the wide variety of regional fruit grown in the surrounding orchards, he started pressing and blending. The fermented juice soon proved so popular that his work evolved into a business. Today ‘The Bounds’, the charming 17th century farmhouse and cider mill where it all began, remains home to his craft.

I’ve been Managing Director since 1996, and have been privileged to see some of the most exciting changes yet. Everyone remains passionate about producing the best cider. I like to think if my Great Grandfather were here, he’d be amazed – but also proud.

From fruit to glass & everything in between
There’s more to making great cider than just fermentation and vats. Every part of the process matters. The type of fruit, the way it’s grown, when it’s picked, how long juice is stored. We do things our own, unhurried way – the right way – to deliver the perfect taste in your glass.

Using traditional bittersweet apples give us that authentic, refreshing taste. In addition to our own orchards, we also have fantastic local growers who supply us with premium fruit. It’s all about provenance and trust – some have been working with us for generations.
