small, family owned cidery specializing in premium, small batch, heirloom ciders produced in the traditional method

An honest family, cidery & passion project

Mount Diablo Cider Company is a locally owned, husband and wife, small, boutique winery specializing in small batch, premium hard cider produced in the Traditional Method using heirloom apple varieties of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Each finished cider is hand produced using methods and practices to best retain and bring out the endemic characteristics specific to each apple varietal used. Just as no two people are exactly alike, each apple tree produces fruit that is unique to itself, shaped by its genetics as well as the environmental conditions of which it grew.

Apples of the San Francisco Bay Area are unique to the terroir in which they grow and the people who cultivate them. Each apple has its own story to tell and Mount Diablo Cider has dedicated itself to bottling these stories and bringing them to you for your sipping enjoyment.

  • "It’s one of the best ciders I’ve tasted."

    -Eric Edgar, Pleasanton, CA

  • Five Stars

    “This new Cox Orange Pippen concoction is terrific! There's a flavor note in there that took me way back to a time when I bought some "rare" varieties at a roadside stand near Monterey. Later at home I decided to try the Cox in a pie. That turned out well, but it was the flavor sensation I got from from nibbling on the peels that stayed in some memory recess of mine, until I tasted your cider. It's remarkable how that comes rushing back. Mesmerizing. I get some melon and other notes in there, too, but to me there's an essence of Cox--in a way that that's enmeshed in the cider--that I think I might not be able to get any other way. A wonderful elixir”

    -Kenn Van Cleve, Lafayette, CA

  • “His cider is one of the most interesting potent potables I’ve enjoyed. Congratulations on your awards!”

    “The Wickson Crab and White Winter Pearmain ciders are easily the best ciders we have ever had. Now we are spoiled for anything else. Anita usually has headaches and negative physical reactions to most alcohol drinks, but not to your cider. Can’t wait to try the Cox Orange Pippin!”

    -Eddie Grant, Bodega Bay, CA
