Orcas Isle Cider (Orcas Island, Washington State)

Orcas Isle Cider's Orchard Cider is the cidery's flagship, classic dry cider. Made from a blend of many different Washington grown apple varieties, including many foraged from old Orcas Island heritage orchards. Prominent varieties include Gravenstein, Tompkins King, Rhode Island Greening, and Roxbury Russet. Some crabapples are added for layers of tannin and acidity - including Evereste Crabapples from the island and crabapples from Topcliff Farms in Prosser, Washington such as Hewes Virginia Crab and Dolgo.

This cider is naturally fermented with the wild yeast living on the fruit. After fermentation this cider is lightly barrel-aged in whiskey barrels for 4 months. 

About Orcas Isle Cider: Located on beautiful Orcas Island in the heart of the Salish Sea, Orcas Isle Cider is one of the newest cideries in Washington State. They make small batch ciders - sourcing fruit from throughout Orcas Island and from other orchards and wild trees throughout the San Juan Islands. The San Juans have a rich apple history - as one of the first significant apple growing regions in America, when it was easier to transport apples by boat from these islands to larger port cities up and down the West Coast. Orcas Isle is developing their own farm based orchard - which you can't miss on the scenic drive from the ferry terminal at the Orcas Village into the town of Eastsound or Moran State Park. While that orchard matures, they're using fruit gleaned from orchards and feral trees growing throughout the island, and procuring some cider specific fruit from other parts of Washington State. Their focus is on wild, native yeast fermentation of high quality fruit with minimal intervention. You can visit their tasting room on Orcas Island, open seasonally during the summer months and early fall.

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

  • Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
  • Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
  • East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

  • We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
  • Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
  • Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
  • The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
  • Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
  • We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order. 

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.
