Upside Cidery in Kelowna, British Columbia, is where cider‑making gets a little less stuffy and a lot more tasty. Here the apples are not just plucked and poured—they’re hand‑picked, patiently aged, and turned into crisp, aromatic ciders that could make a purist weep. The atmosphere feels more like a farmer’s market after a good rain than a pretentious tasting room, and the whole place hums with the quiet confidence of people who actually know what they’re doing (the owners have been swapping tips for years).
The menu is a cheat‑code for anyone who thinks dietary restrictions are a nuisance. Upscale charcuterie boards come with gluten‑free options, and the fried chicken is so crunchy you’d swear it was a secret recipe. The cider flight showcases flavours that range from classic apple to experimental blends you’d never expect to find on a supermarket shelf. If you’re in the mood for something solid, the gluten‑free pizzas and crackers hit the spot, and the staff are brilliant at corralling large groups without breaking a sweat. In short, Upside Cidery manages to be both inventive and comforting, proving that good craft doesn’t have to be pretentious.
