WELCOME TO SHELTERED VALLEY CIDER
About Our Cider
We are a family run winery specializing in hard cider. Located in a rural town in East Central Pennsylvania and nestled in the mountains, we are surrounded by apple orchards. We have been making cider to sell since the start of 2020. In the process, we've learned a thing or two about making full-flavored cider.
We buy our apples from a local fifth generation apple grower. They have over 60 varieties of apples to chose from, with more always on the way. They grow their apples for flavor. We have a special arrangement with them to pick our apples as ripe as possible, which gives our cider extra flavor.
We allow our cider to ferment spontaneously, using only native yeast from the orchard. This leisurely fermentation preserves more of the flavor from the fruit. It also produces a unique range of fruity aromas from the wild yeast. We bottle the finished cider full-strength and unfiltered. When bubbles are called for, we add sugar or fresh cider at bottling time for a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
