About this deal

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to limit any rights you might have as a consumer under applicable local law or other statutory rights that may not be excluded nor in any way to exclude or limit our liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from our negligence. The first time a drop of alcohol touched my lips was when my grandpa handed me a very small glass of medium dry cider when I was about 14 years old at Christmas time. I remember it well. It was tangy and smokey and different to anything I had ever tasted before. I liked it. This was apple juice, but for grownups. I felt cool and badly behaved, but in a good way. You can pitch your tent between the rows of apple trees, so alongside booking our tour and tasting experience we also spent two nights camping at the farm. To cancel your contract you must notify us in writing at [email protected] or by telephone on 01308 488382. Dorset Nectar is the perfect example of how farming with nature can be done right and successfully. The south-facing location of the orchard means the apple trees get plenty of sun, and they also benefit from the prevailing winds from the south. As they make their way over from the Atlantic, across the Jurassic coast, towards the orchard, the Southerly winds play a role in pollination during the months of spring when the orchard turns pink and white with blossom. Ventilation also prevents mould growth by blowing away the spores of unwanted fungus.

The Cider Farm is completely family run. You are invited to visit the Cider Farm to enjoy a cool, crisp cider in the Cider Garden while admiring the topiary and sculptures in the garden. In the Tasting Room you can browse and even taste some of the 13 different ciders that are available to buy, from the lightly sparkling contemporary ciders to the handcrafted artisan ciders. Spend your days wandering through the fields or exploring by the River Brit nearby. The world-renowned beaches of the Jurassic Coast, including West Bay Beach, are only a 10-minute drive away too! When my partner, Simon, stumbled across a cider tour and tasting experience at an organic cider farm in Dorset, my eyes lit up. Not only was this a cider-related fun thing to do, but it was organic cider, which is even better, and it was an opportunity to learn more about the drink that’s so special to me, while camping on an orchard. Surrounded by 3,000 organic apples and plenty of space, the extra-long and wide grass pitches are suitable for tents only. Shared facilities, including hot showers, are nearby, cleaned regularly.Along Marine parade, you’ll find a tempting array of ice-cream shops and pastel painted beach huts that line the beach – it’s the epitome of British seaside resort. It’s not just the location and weather that’s important for the success of the orchard, it’s the local wildlife too. There are a number of beehives present on the farm, as bees play a vital role in pollination. The wind is not good enough at this on it’s own, so the bees ensure enough pollination occurs. Without pollination, there wouldn’t be any apples. Large Cider/Sculpture garden with Communal BBQ area, benches and pizza oven you can use if you wish

We harvest our apples in the autumn. We operate a "leave no trace" standard for our Adults Only Age 20+ seasonal tent camping. My great auntie Molly noticed, and she spoke words a little something like these – ‘Careful, not too much. It’s very potent!’. Her words were sharp like the cider in the glass in my hand, aimed a little at me, but mostly at my grandpa, warning him not to give me too much.

This is a working cider farm, barns and buildings are off limits and are for staff only authorised access. This includes a tour of our beautiful organically managed apple orchard which has around 3,000 mature apple trees. We begin by venturing into the orchards where you will be introduced to some of the 15 varieties of heritage cider apples that we grow at the Cider Farm. During the tour, we discuss some of the fascinating history and folklore behind apple growing and making cider in Britain. We even participate in a yearly traditional Wassail or Blessing of the orchard! We tell you about the important role of the bees to ensure pollination and how the apples grow. Questions are always welcome. We discuss harvesting techniques, cleaning and the pressing procedure on our big old belt press. We tell you about the natural fermentation methods, before we take a peek into the Cider barn where the blending, filtering, taste testing and bottling happens. We finish in either the Tasting Room or the Cider Garden for a cidermaker led cider tasting of some of our delicious ciders. The apples are left to ripen fully on the branches before they are harvested. After the apples begin to fall to the ground, the trees are then shaken so the branches release any remaining ripe apples. The grounds of the orchard, now a sea of shiny red and green spheres are now ready to be collected.

From that day on my love of cider has grown and grown. Like apple blossom joyously bursting open in the spring sunshine, something bloomed within my heart when I first tasted cider. For me cider is a reminder of home, of celebrations that come with the seasons. It is always my drink of choice. A drink that finds itself into my hand during the best moments. From family get-togethers to music festivals and camping trips with friends, it is the perfect accompaniment to the good times. The bumper crop allows four 40 new cider tanks to be filled. Additional apples sold to new local cider makers like Dorset Sunshine cider and others like 5 Penny Farm. New Gloucester Old spot pigs join us and enjoy the apple pomace.

The farm uses a small apple collecting vehicle that makes its way down the aisles of apple trees, gobbling up all the fallen apples in its path. The apples are then transported to the cider mill for pressing.
