Untangled Craft Cider
About Untangled Craft Cider
Untangled Craft Cider is the estate cidery of Klippers Organic Acres — a tree-to-tap operation producing 12 naturally crafted, sustainably grown ciders from the orchards surrounding the tasting room on MacKenzie Road in Cawston. From dry to semi-sweet, classic apple to culinary herb blends, every cider in the range is made with estate-grown fruit and a commitment to keeping things necessarily uncomplicated.
The name tells the story…
When the Klippers family took over an apple orchard in 2006, they inherited something unusual — a four-acre arbour where an engineer had woven the branches from tree to tree, grafting them together into a single living tangle. The first thing they did was untangle it. In 2019, after 17 years of farming the land, they turned that orchard into a cidery — and Untangled Craft Cider was born.
The philosophy is tree to tap: sustainably grown fruit from the Klippers Organic Acres estate, transformed into natural craft ciders with as little intervention as possible. The result is a range of 12 ciders — rotating seasonally and built around what the orchard is producing — that reads more like a culinary menu than a standard drinks list. Rosemary Cherry brings tart apple and invigorating rosemary together in one mouthwatering blend. Lavender Nectarine opens with a floral nose and a long, smooth finish. Lionheart Plum steeps plums and shiso for two weeks before blending. Mulberry Thyme offers lime and thyme on the palate with a confectionary mulberry sparkle. Hopped Apricot brings a whisper of the tropics from local Citra hops and apricots grown steps from the tasting room. Blue Pear collaborates with the neighbouring Forstbauer farm for blueberries. And for non-drinkers, the Soft Cider — a 100% Klippers organic apple cider with no alcohol — is a genuine crowd favourite.
The tasting room shares a building with Row Fourteen Restaurant on MacKenzie Road, surrounded by the very orchard trees that produce the fruit in the glass. Cider flights, bottles, growler fills, and glasses are all available — and the full Untangled range pairs naturally with Row Fourteen’s farm-to-table menu. The Cider Club ships three seasonal cases per year to members across BC.
