How Did the Dhaliwal Family Start Their Cider Journey?
“In 2006 our family had a goal to make quality cider that people could enjoy over and over again. We wanted to create something different than other ciders on the market. This is why we chose only Okanagan grown dessert apples to put in our cider. We wanted to create a product that was made in B.C. and was 100% Canadian. We wanted to create a cider that was not only delicious but also one that you could drink again and again. This is where Red Roof came into fruition and has been a hit ever since. We have many different products including: Okanagan Bubbly and Extra Dry – but our main bread and butter is Red Roof.” – Ravi Dhaliwal
Now Ravi and Jasmeen Dhaliwal are leading Orchard Hill Estate Cidery into new adventures by providing the product into cans (coming soon) and playing with new varieties & flavors (Peach, Cherry, and Pear). It’s an exciting time for us and thank-you for supporting a small local family business!
Since 2008, Orchard Hill Estate Cidery has been providing excellent hand crafted premium apple cider throughout the province – and continues to expand their geographical distribution!
Orchard Hill’s small family business is located between Oliver and Osoyoos on the Golden Mile bench. Shortly after Rd.22. The orchard is situated on a beautiful bench, where the sun frames the property early in the morning till late in the evening. The orchard produces 14 acres of high density and quality fruit bearing trees. Out of that 14 aces – 8 acres are purely dessert apples.
We at Orchard Hill like to only use dessert apples that are grown vastly throughout the Okanagan Valley – this creates a true Okanagan apple cider! We do not use any special cider apples, since we aim to boast the succulent flavors of pure Okanagan apples. Our product is being well received all across B.C and we are only expanding.
Orchard Hill is striving to bring their consumers quality, simplicity, and authenticity. Our practices are genuine, sincere, and honest. Due to the recognition of these values we have been growing ever since we first opened our doors. Our future goals are to experiment with new varieties and other tree fruits. With your support – we aspire to become more successful, further continuing with our value system, to provide excellent quality products to our consumers.
