Whitewood Cider is the South Puget Sound's first craft cidery. Officially we are a nano cider and can be hard to locate. Fear not as you'll be able to find us at the finest bottles shops as well pubs and and restaurants that are the most dedicated to locally made craft cider.

Too often the word craft is haphazardly thrown around when it comes to making cider. At Whitewood Cider Company we make hard cider seasonally, as traditional as it gets, just as cider has always been made.

We pick and press apples in the Autumn as they are ripe and properly sweated out to produce the thickest richest juices possible.
Our ciders ferment slow all throughout the Winter at the cold ambient temperatures of South Puget Sound
We rack and blend our ciders in the late Winter and early Spring.
During late Spring and as the ciders have had time to rest, and mature, we rack our cider once more, and put it up until packaging time.

When it comes to apple selection and cidermaking we have a "no compromise" approach. We believe cidermaking is an art and that the best heirloom and cider apple varieties make the best possible cider.
