Wonderful location, easy to find. The surprise is an ever enlarging inventory of new products! Attention to quality, detail, and craftsmanship is evident. A varied product selection of the finest quality showcased by Merridale's Scrumpy. The SCRUMPY is awesome, a reason to return again and again.

Stopped by with my Mom, Aunt and cousin on our way home from a weekend on Vancouver Island. Great little cider house. The tasting was 4 bucks and included 6 samples from hard cider to cider wines.
