An easy favourite spot on the island. The host was kind and so knowledgeable! The tasting lets you sample nearly everything you can buy, which is so helpful for identifying favourites. You’ll absolutely want to order a glass of your preferred cider to sit by the fire outside with a beautiful view and cozy blanket. We came back two rainy days in a row we enjoyed it so much. Great place to bring your dog or dog watch.
Also, consider tasting/buying the Apple Cider Vinegar! I don’t usually enjoy ACV, often substituting it for other vinegars in my cooking, but I bought a bottle immediately after tasting this one. It would make a great gift too.

What a lovely little find. Very knowledgeable host shared his expertise about the wide range of ciders. So worth the trip! Cider is above and beyond what you normally find. Loved it!!

I had a great selection of drinks and tastings, a definite recommendation from me.

Fabulous experience, the craft of cider making is well executed here.

Let me tell you something, brosef. You can read all the tasting notes you want. You can study fermentation curves, malolactic flowcharts, and whatever else they’re teaching sommeliers with skinny jeans these days—but you show up at Twin Isle Cidery on Pender Island, and it all evaporates. Because this place? This place teaches you something real.
It’s not just the labels—though sweet mother of Jobs, they’re so beautiful you’ll wanna peel one off and tattoo it to your chest. It’s not just the kombucha that practically narrates a Terrence Malick film in your mouth. It’s the feel. The trees. The sun slicing through clouds like it’s got somewhere holy to be. It’s the people—warm, relaxed, like they’ve already figured out the meaning of life and decided to bottle it.
Even the nice old Asian guy who passed out atop Coit Tower in October '23 would rouse himself for a sip of this orchard gospel. He’d sit at the picnic table, stare off into the hills, and whisper, “Damn... that’s balance.”
So yeah, I like them apples. I like them real good.

Twins has very unique and delightful ciders. I appreciate that the tastings don’t cost a fee! I love the environment of the place and on a sunny day it’s is so peaceful. Service is always friendly and lovely.

This is a must for my wife and I whenever we are on Pender, we've gone here every year for the last 5 years. Their cider always hits the spot and the same server always goes above and beyond, providing amazing kindness and knowledge. The patio is lovely and the tasting room is quaint and beautiful. The dog friendly environment is always a plus for our two pups. They love the long grass!

I did not expect to find this delightful Cidery on the Island. Not just rustic and charming it offers a small tasting room to enjoy wares. A tented area with benches and blankets to relax beside a fire pit. But the ciders and perry's are the reason to visit. Each one is delicious and has its own interesting description. A must visit while on Pender Island. Recommended
I had a nice time there. When we arrived the man at the front offered us a free tasting immediately and introduced their products really well.

Visited last weekend, the pear cider is by far my favorite. The host was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also tried the little cheese plate which was quite tasty
Sam Ellis
Absolutely delightful little spot, sampled all the ciders with our incredibly kind and knowledgeable host, then took a bottle outside to sit in their little garden listening to the birds. Offered water for our dog and also to refill our water bottles. 11/10 service, definitely stop there if you can!!

Very knowledgeable and kind staff! I am not the biggest fan of this type of dry fermented type cider, but I know someone who is and was able to purchase what I think is a great gift. The Oretega Perry blend was my favourite and I did get that for myself.

Great place to stop on your Pender Island visit. The host/employee was very knowledgeable and let us sample 5 ciders plus the apple cider vinegar and then we purchased a bottle and enjoyed it outside overlooking the water.
Well worth a visit and tasting in the orchard.
