handcrafted on
GABRIOLA ISLAND
Nearly 100 years ago, B.C.’s Gulf Island farmers concocted exceptional hard cider. Legend has it, those makers then journeyed out to sea to share their libations with the mainland. To those Cider Makers, we salute you. Today we join you.
Gabbie’s Premium Ciders are perfected by Ravenskill Orchards at our unique island location. Amongst 1,000 heritage trees, 25 varieties of apples, grow fresh, crisp, sun-kissed and gently-breezed by the salty sea air. We are a family of farmers, sea lovers and makers crafting the best small batch premium cider the Gulf Island have enjoyed since prohibition. A distinct taste and cider experience.


SEMI DRY
Diverse, Semi-dry and Delicious!
Golden in the glass, this semi dry cider opens up with a supple rustic apple fragrance.
The acidity creates the perfect balance between sweet and salty.
REAL DRY
Complex, Dry and Delicious!
Slow fermented, effervescent to a creamy mouth feel.
This stony cider has loads of brisk tannins that wrap up with crisp, steely finish.


our
STORY
We are Keith and Marti MacKenzie, and we welcome you to try our craft hard cider.
In 2002 we began building our dream – an orchard of heritage apples on
27 acres of land in beautiful Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.
our
ORCHARD
We started with uncultivated scrub brush. We tilled the land. We created our own locally sourced compost to feed the soil. We built a nursery and trellised rows for our unique stock of heavy fruiting dwarf trees. And we built a cider barn and roadside stand to sell our crop and ciders.
Today our orchard has over 1,000 trees across two acres, with 25 different varieties of apples…and we’re still growing.
