Gowan's Heirloom Ciders

Gowan's Heirloom Ciders is a family-owned cidery located on their 150-year-old farm in Philo, California, where they cultivate a one-of-a-kind collection of heirloom orchards. The winery is known for its estate-bottled ciders made from organic, hand-picked apples, including the rare Sierra Beauty apple, which has been a family favorite since 1906 and was nearly lost to extinction but remains alive in their care. Gowan's Heirloom Ciders has received accolades as the 2025 Cidery of the Year and Cider Maker of the Year from the Great American Beer Festival and the American Cider Association, respectively. Visitors can explore the orchard and experience the "orchard magic" that goes into crafting each bottle. The tasting experience is not explicitly described on their website, but they invite visitors to "step into the apple orchard with every sip."
