The ciders were great, the Artisan meat and cheese platter however is not worth 24 dollars. We had only 3 small slices of meat! I’ve never had a cheese and meat platter with such limited choices. It was a bit cold out as well so heaters would be nice.

A lovely afternoon. The views are lovely, but we could not see them from our table. The food was very good but it would’ve been very nice if they had cleared the table rather than cramming our dessert in any available space. The cider is lovely and more like a wine. The chairs were very uncomfortable and we were not able to get a pillow or something soft to sit on. Some attention to detail, for the comfort of their guests would be beneficial.

A great ending to our vacation - dropped by the Sea Cider Farm. This place was highly recommended by friends and super glad we were able to do the tasting experience. We tried some very delicious ciders while sitting in an outdoor patio and enjoying the beautiful views of the orchard and ocean. We received a warm welcome from the staff and they provided great service. It was memorable and fun experience. Lots of laughter too. Highly recommend this place if you ever visit Victoria BC. PS -reservations are strongly recommended and can be booked online.

We called ahead to make a booking, though we turned up earlier than expected they were happy to seat us. Delicious ciders which I will now look out for in private liquor stores in my area. Tasty bites to eat are also available to order with your tasting. The views are wonderful even on an overcast day. We look forward to visiting again in summer!

Great set up outside with social distancing! Friendly Staff all around. First time there - hidden off the beaten path but great ambiance and lots of parking. Our party of 5 tried lots! 2oz x6 for the long selection comes preselected for you but the short selection come 3 of your choices. Alcohol ranges from 5-19%. Lots to try. Limited snacks available but charcuterie with cheese was great to pair with the tasters. A must try if you like ciders.
My favourite was Ruby Rose and Sassamanish. So smooth and refreshing.

Enjoyed the Omnivore Platter and flights of cider. (There is also a Garden Platter; and both platters are available as GF.) As cider 'favourites' will vary according to each person, I will just say, "try them or ask for suggestions." (There are good descriptions in the menu.) There are also non-alcoholic versions of cider (called "Temperance". This is a casual, relaxed place, not a fast food joint, in a lovely setting.

We're huge fans of cider, so when I came across directional signs to Sea Cider the other day, I quickly headed the car in the directions indicated. I must commend the establishment for making sure the directions are clear on all relevant roads (pay attention Merridale). I didn't have time to take in the view or to have a bite to eat, I just wanted to check out the cider selection. No tasting available, just a dry information sheet. But, I was game to try/buy a bottle of each of their several cider types. I was willing to buy a bottle of each, until I saw the prices. I only have Merridale to compare with (and wines in the liquor stores), but I though $18 per bottle a tad excessive. But, I thought, let's not judge before we get home to try the cider. Verdict: not as good as the Merridale House BUT, the Merridale comes in at about $10/liter (we buy by the case) and Sea Cider works out to $24/liter.

I'd like to come back and try some of the other ciders (how about samples?) but not at those prices.

Visited the Sea Cider Farm and tried a flight of 5 different ciders. Didn't care for any of the 5. They only had those 5 to try, so perhaps we might have liked one of the others. But the staff was great and made it an enjoyable experience.

We have been to Sea Cider now on three different occasions and love it so much. The location is lovely and easy to get to off the highway. The feel of the farmhouse is so laid back and quaint. The cider.... Mmmm. Love their ciders! We love them so much that we have had our favorite local liquor store bring it in for us and it has turned out to be a good seller for them too. We love this spot so much that we chose to plan our destination wedding here. It was great!

My wife and I have been to several different wineries and tasting rooms around the world. We absolutely love hard cider so thought this would be amazing. We walked into the charming cider house not sure if we should go ahead and sit down or go to the counter. We were instructed to find a seat wherever we liked. There were around 4 people working and 75% of the tables were full. We were given a menu which labeled the ciders and details and then the small amount of appetizers they offer. We got the largest Ploughman Plate because were we starving and the long flights which includes 9 different ciders. We got our plate after about 10 minutes and the ciders around 15. Which seemed unusually long considering they just needed to be poured. This is where the service from our other tasting experiences differed. The "server" literally dropped off the ciders and walked away. We had a list on the table that described the ciders but usually someone is around to answer questions or explain the different tastings. We were not even offered water during the whole time we were there. And after ordering the two most expensive items on the menu, that seems a given, especially with tastings. No one asked us if we were interested in buying bottles or how it worked. We eventually paid, which you have to tell them again what you ordered, there's no check and we left not really sure on what we just experienced. It was strange to say the least. I think this place could be awesome, maybe we just experienced a bad service day.
