If you’ve ever wanted to slow things down, sip something local, and spend an afternoon surrounded by prairie skies and forest shade, this one’s for you.
Our Just a Taste experience is a private outdoor cider tasting hosted in our cidery taproom, a quiet patio tucked into a grove of oak, ash, maple, and poplar trees. It’s the kind of place where conversations stretch longer, food tastes better, and time doesn’t feel rushed.
Whether you’re brand new to cider or already have a favorite bottle, you’ll get to choose five ciders as a group, and we’ll curate the tasting just for you. Expect a mix of small-batch releases, Manitoba-grown fruit, and the stories behind how each cider came to be.
After your tasting, you’ll have time to relax, browse the farm shop, and peek inside the cidery to see where it all happens. And if you’re feeling hungry, you can add on a wood-fired pizza experience in partnership with The Farmers Table, handcrafted pizzas made with seasonal ingredients and cooked fresh in the outdoor oven.
It’s a relaxed, welcoming way to experience Wooden Gate Cider, and the perfect excuse to plan a day in the country.
