Cider has been produced on this site for over 400 years. Brimblecombe Cider is set in idyllic countryside, has its own cider orchard with 15 different varieties of cider apples and is located in an amazing Devon longhouse barn, parts of which date back to Saxon times.

Well worth a visit to see the ancient cider-making equipment in the darkened heavily-beamed barn which dates back to Saxon times. On the way in you will see the massive hand-operated press (pictured) with its stone bed, still used today.

Brimblecombe's Cider is produced in the old traditional method by pressing milled apples through straw. The apple juice is allowed to ferment naturally until it becomes cider. It is then conditioned in large oak barrels in the old cider barn at Farrants Farm. The cider is dispensed straight from the oak barrels in the barn behind the press (see picture). The cider is available dry, medium and sweet and as "regular" or vintage.
