The Contract shall be construed and performed in all respects in accordance with the laws of England and each party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. not to bring into Dorset Nectar and/or Tour any animals not on leads or any food, drink or litter without prior consent from a Dorset Nectar employee. It’s not just the location and weather that’s important for the success of the orchard, it’s the local wildlife too. There are a number of beehives present on the farm, as bees play a vital role in pollination. The wind is not good enough at this on it’s own, so the bees ensure enough pollination occurs. Without pollination, there wouldn’t be any apples. Medium Organic Original 5% traditional, farmhouse cider- Our original cider blend unchanged over the years

The first time a drop of alcohol touched my lips was when my grandpa handed me a very small glass of medium dry cider when I was about 14 years old at Christmas time. I remember it well. It was tangy and smokey and different to anything I had ever tasted before. I liked it. This was apple juice, but for grownups. I felt cool and badly behaved, but in a good way.
The cafe’s interior is relaxed surf chic, inspired by founder Keian Gillet, a passionate boardrider and chef. Blue and white paneled walls are decorated with a collection of surfboards and other nods to the ocean in the form of art and photography – a celebration of south west coast surf culture and an expression of love for the beach and the sea.

Large Cider/Sculpture garden with Communal BBQ area, benches and pizza oven you can use if you wishAfter dinner we headed to the beach to admire the evening light. The clouds hovering above the horizon had turned a deep grey and the sunlight had become a concentrated glowing amber. We walked slowly over the dusty shingle. With every step, dust would rise into a glowing haze, as if in slow motion, as we made our way towards to ocean.
If you fancy lunch after your Tour & Tasting With us I would highly recommend the Hare and Hounds pub in Waytown only a short way down the road from us with beautiful views of the local countryside in their large garden. Overall I throughly enjoyed the tour and tasting experience and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about cider. Below is an overview of what we learnt on the day. Working with nature Located near Bridport, Dorset, we run our Cider Farm tours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 11.00am This includes a tour of our beautiful organically managed apple orchard which has around 3,000 mature apple trees. We begin by venturing into the orchards where you will be introduced to some of the 15 varieties of heritage cider apples that we grow at the Cider Farm. During the tour, we discuss some of the fascinating history and folklore behind apple growing and making cider in Britain. We even participate in a yearly traditional Wassail or Blessing of the orchard! We tell you about the important role of the bees to ensure pollination and how the apples grow. Questions are always welcome. We discuss harvesting techniques, cleaning and the pressing procedure on our big old belt press. We tell you about the natural fermentation methods, before we take a peek into the Cider barn where the blending, filtering, taste testing and bottling happens. We finish in either the Tasting Room or the Cider Garden for a cidermaker led cider tasting of some of our delicious ciders. A number more tanks are sourced for the large apple harvest. Our craft ciders win at Camra festivals and the British Cider Championships. First Cider exported to the Netherlands. A harsh winter and Veroa destroys the bee hives. Dante joins the business fulltime. Apples also sourced from Twinways orchardPlease don`t break the branches of the orchard apple trees *we need them healthy for a good cider apple crop every year* Dorset Nectar is the perfect example of how farming with nature can be done right and successfully. The south-facing location of the orchard means the apple trees get plenty of sun, and they also benefit from the prevailing winds from the south. As they make their way over from the Atlantic, across the Jurassic coast, towards the orchard, the Southerly winds play a role in pollination during the months of spring when the orchard turns pink and white with blossom. Ventilation also prevents mould growth by blowing away the spores of unwanted fungus. Taste our full range of fruit infused ciders including Elderflower, Raspberry, Damson Plum, Ginger and Honey ciders. Dorset Nectar Cider Farm is a working organically managed cider orchard and cider producer. We harvest our apples in the autumn. We operate a "leave no trace" standard for our Adults Only Age 20+ seasonal tent camping.
