Makers
Profiles of every Irish cider producer — their orchards, their methods, their stories. From heritage farmhouses to boundary-pushing craft operations.
Meet the Makers →From ancient orchards in Tipperary to new-wave craft producers along the Wild Atlantic Way — Cider.ie is Ireland's defining destination for discovering makers, regions, stories, and experiences.
A Category Comes Home
Ireland has a rich and largely untold cider story. From the limestone soils of Tipperary to the old orchards of Armagh, from bold new producers in Cork to heritage makers in Wicklow — the craft is alive, the quality is exceptional, and the world is paying attention.
Yet the category has never had a single authoritative digital home. No destination that brings together producers, regions, retailers, and enthusiasts under one trusted brand. Until now.
Cider.ie is that home. The natural, category-defining brand for everything Irish cider.
✦ Currently in early concept stage — the platform is being built thoughtfully.

Ireland's cider producers span centuries of tradition and an exciting new wave of craft innovation. These are illustrative examples of the kinds of producers that would be featured.
Third-generation apple growers producing single-varietal ciders from heritage orchards planted in 1947. Known for their bone-dry Foxwhelp and award-winning Kingston Black.
Young, bold, and technically precise. Using wild fermentation and local botanicals to craft ciders that reflect the untamed character of West Cork's coastline.
Armagh's orchard heartland in a glass. Slow-pressed from Bramley and Dabinett apples, their traditional still ciders are some of the most refined in Ireland.
Nestled in the Wicklow hills above Dublin, this contemporary cidery produces small-batch pet-nat and sparkling ciders beloved by the city's finest restaurants.
Ireland's westernmost cidery, blending imported bittersweet varieties with wild-foraged hedgerow fruits. Their seasonal limited editions sell out within hours.
