Crafted with Care and Passion
This unique cider house is committed to creating small-batch, craft cider that elegantly captures the apple varieties grown in its lush orchards. The homage they pay to the apple does not end with the obvious variety in flavour profiles, but extends to acknowledging the apple’s farming ancestry on which the cidery is currently located.

With a diverse range of acclaimed products including their flagship Scrumpy cider, East Coast Inspired Cider, and a crowd-pleasing Ginger Perry, Soma provides a symphony of flavours that caters to every palate.
The Science and Art of Cider
What sets Soma apart from the rest is their attention to the smallest of details – from picking apples at the perfect moment to leveraging modern techniques to press and ferment the fruits. It's the harmonious marriage of science and artistry, a blend of tradition and innovation, and a tribute to nature and technology. Also, not to miss their wizardry with wild yeast fermentation, interweaving it with contemporary brewing styles to create innovative and complex ciders.
Alluring Ambience of Kelowna

It's not just a place to drink but an environment that encapsulates the beauty of Kelowna.
Sustainability that Nurtures
Soma takes sustainability to heart by recycling apple pomace back into its orchards as compost and utilizing solar panels to make their business as carbon-neutral as possible. Furthermore, you'll find no unnecessary additives or sulphites in Soma's ciders, making them 100% fruit-based and gluten-free.
