Apple County Cider Co is the creation of the award winning cider producer Ben Culpin. Ben has been producing cider for six years, during which time he has won numerous awards including Great Taste and The Welsh Cider and Perry Championships. Ben’s cider has won acclaim from chefs, critics, writers and food enthusiasts – ‘foodies’ – alike.
The company is based at Whitehouse Farm, near Skenfrith in Monmouthshire. The farm grows cider apples and blackcurrants in fields looking across the stunning landscape of the Monnow Valley. There’s a cider shop where Apple County also hold cider tasting and sell local produce; when you buy cider here you are likely to be talking to the cider-maker himself.
Apple County Cider produces premium award winning single variety ciders made from 100% apple juice, using varieties such as Dabinett, Vilberie and Brown Snout. Apples are harvested from their orchards and pressed on the farm. The bottled ciders are lightly sparkling; the still cider is straight from the vat and known as ‘Naughty Horsey’. Simply Scrumptious!
We supply our cider to pubs, bars, off licences and independent retailers.
We attend various food and drink festivals so please come and see our pop up cider bar at a festival near you. We are happy to cater for weddings, parties and BBQ’s.
To celebrate National Apple Day we host our own Apple Day event close to the 21st October each year. We set up a vintage cider press at the Village Hall and invite everyone to bring their apples and pears and put them through the press.
