Our Story

At Dragon’s Head Cider, we believe in producing high quality hard ciders with a traditional approach, which means you will never find us using apple juice concentrate, over sweetening our ciders, or adding other fruits to our ciders. We love the story that apples and pears can tell all by themselves, and so we keep it simple. Press high quality apples and pears, ferment the juice, put it in a bottle.  We believe one of the keys to creating great cider is to have control over the entire process. For this reason, we do the pressing, fermentation, blending and bottling all right here on the farm.

Wes and Laura Cherry moved to Vashon Island in 2010 with the dream of planting an orchard and starting a cidery.  Today their orchard is full of cider apple and perry pear trees, and their award winning ciders are sold in Washington and Oregon, as well as direct to consumer in their tasting room, on their web site, and through their cider club.
