Durham Cider + Wine Co.

“My first memory of collecting fruit took place as a child in New Jersey high up in a crab apple tree.  My grandmother, Apple Annie, and I would press those apples in the front yard using her green basket press. Fast forward three decades to a Colorado front yard where now it was my daughter picking fruit from an old apple tree. From this tree’s bounty in 2014, I would ferment my first cider. We have spent many hours planting, observing and caring for fruiting trees, bushes and vines. Fruit grown in a good and honest manner that respects and protects the environment, animals and people is very important to our low-intervention winemaking style. All of the vineyards, orchards, ranches and farms we associate with are worked organically or beyond and care deeply about the soil.” ~ Ron Durham
