Carmel Cider — Boutique Cidery & Distillery
Boutique cidery & distillery — Perth Hills, WA
Respect Tradition.
Rules Optional.
We started fermenting apples in the hills above Perth. Somewhere between the orchard and the copper still we got good at breaking our own rules — small-batch cider with manners, spirits without them.
Straight from the orchard
The Cider
Pressed, fermented and bottled in Carmel. Four ways to misbehave — from bone dry to barrel aged.
Off the still
The Spirits
Small copper-pot runs from the distillery door. Gin with attitude, single malt with patience, vodka that behaves better than we do.

Our story
Born in the Orchard.
Raised in the Still.
Carmel Cider began with a few rows of apple trees in the Perth Hills and a stubborn belief that good things take time. The cider found its fans. Then a copper still arrived at the door, and the repertoire got wider — same fruit, same patience, one more way to make something worth sharing.
