Taste real apple cider in Sabile
Did you know that one of the Sabile grape varieties is actually an apple? We continue developing a cider culture in Sabile - a city surrounded by wine culture and tradition.
Our factory is located in the heart of Sabile - Rīga street 22. Every autumn, the farms and orchards of Kurzeme deliver their farm-grown apples to us, to juice and brew into cider.
Factory with a history
Our brewery is located in a building with almost 100 years of history! In making the building suitable for cider production, it has been brought back to life. In the 1920s, this site originally housed a match factory titled "Stars" (LV: ray). During the German occupation, the building was used for drying potatoes, and later on adapted for the canning of food.
We offer an opportunity to learn about the history and geography of cider, learn about its production process from the apple to the cork, and see factory equipment. We will end the tour with a tasting, after which you can buy your favourite ciders in our shop!
Creating Sabile's cultural space
The Sabile Cider brewery and Cider House, together with the municipality of Sabile, regularly host visiting musicians and artists, to promote cultural life in the city. Visit during the Wine Festival, Apple Day, or Mulled Wine Festival, keep an eye on announcements about other events, and don't miss a chance to take a seat in the first row!
