Although we focus primarily on perfecting our cider, we know that it’s just as important to make sure that people can visit the very place that we produce the cider from. It helps connects our cider and our traditions to our customers.
In recent times we have created brand new production facilities, freeing our lovely old brick buildings for development. In April we opened the doors to Sheppy’s House of Cider- a bigger shop, café, bar, restaurant, and much more. We will also have a venue inside an old cider vat which will play host to one of our many tours.
Through more than 200 years of making real premium craft cider, six generations of the Sheppy family have weathered the ups and downs of combining farming with cider-making by embracing change and opportunity.
Every drop of our cider is crafted by David Sheppy, our sixth generation Master of Cider. David combines world class expertise accumulated from a lifetime of crafting cider with his family's 200 years of knowledge. He oversees the production of every drop, transforming our home-grown apples into the finest award winning premium ciders. Every bottle carries his signature as a mark of quality and provenance.
Our brand new House of Cider Visitor Centre brings together a butchery, deli, and cafe stocked with the finest locally sourced produce. You can also explore our full range of award winning craft ciders in our shop and book a guided tour or tasting event to discover some of our oldest cider-making secrets.
We're delighted to announce the opening of our new Apple Bay Bar & Restaurant with a superb menu featuring some of the best locally sourced Somerset produce. Give us a call to book a table for breakfast, lunch or dinner, or pop in for a drink at our stunning bar serving our full range of craft ciders.
For over 200 years the skill and craftsmanship of classic Somerset cider-making has been passed down through six generations of Sheppys.
