What travelers say:
Merridale Cidery is the only cider factory on Vancouver Island. It not only has an apple orchard and brewing workshop, but also a large lawn, a souvenir shop and a well-received restaurant. In addition, there are even several yurt-style hotel rooms. The manor is also a popular holiday destination and wedding venue.
At first glance, the apple orchard in the winery is no different from the common ones in China, except that the ground is covered with red fruits. No one picks the apples used for winemaking from the trees, but waits for them to ripen naturally and fall to the ground, then picks them up, collects them, washes them, squeezes the juice and then makes wine.
After visiting the cider brewing process, the owner of the winery, Janete, took us to the bar in the distillery. The wine tasting session that I was most looking forward to arrived as scheduled. Cider is a good aperitif, with a refreshing and slightly sweet taste, and it can stimulate appetite. Merridale's several cider flavors are different, and the food used to accompany the wine - snacks, cheese and ham are also different.
In addition to the basic cider, the "Cowichan Spirit" series produced by Merridale also includes gin, vodka, apple brandy, cognac... The 43-degree gin is not spicy at all, it is very smooth and has a distinct fruity aroma.
The waiter looks very much like Joseph, with a very rich expression and a good atmosphere. These wines have undergone multiple refinements, fading from the original form of the fruit and turning into the mellow fragrance that permeates the mouth and nose at this moment.
