In bygone years the Cadogan family have been no exception to the Gloucestershire tradition of cider making. Back in 1960 when others were ripping their orchards out to make way for more cattle grazing Colin and son Chris were updating and planting new cider apple trees. Now it’s Chris’s own son - also named Chris - and his wife Nicola to take the apples and pears and grind and press them into some of the finest farm house Cider and Perry that money can buy.

For many years the Cadogan family have been supplying other cider and perry producers with fruit. They have four mature orchards of traditional standard trees that have never been sprayed with pesticides or as like. Their trees produce several varieties of cider apples and perry pears, and they have now begun to produce their own cider and perry. This cider is made from a blend of their own traditionally pressed cider apple variety and matured in oak barrels for many months. They carefully chose the best fruit we have to make these delicious drinks.

• Cadogan Medium Dry Cider - achieved from a variety of cider apples including Dabinetts to give this not too dry taste of country life.
• Cadogan Medium Sweet Cider - A well balanced Medium Sweet Cider is the result of a careful blend of Yarlington Mill and Dabinett to give this full rich flavour of summer - a drink to make friends with.
• Cadogan Perry - This delicious perry would grace any regal banqueting table with it’s not too dry taste of Blakeney Red pears ripened on the slopes of the River Severn. A perry to be savoured and sipped with elegance in mind.
