Our Story

More than a cidery.

Cider bottles with swing-top caps on a dark wooden shelf

Come for the cider, stay for the stories.

Whether it’s a special event at our place in the rolling hills of Comfort or an everyday visit to our tasting room in historic Castroville, Hill Country Cider House is a gathering place for curious palates, passionate drinkers, and anyone who believes apples deserve a little more spotlight.

We’re a family of craftsmen with a deep love for cider making and a flair for storytelling. Every batch blends technical precision with creative spirit — a barrel-aged dry one week, a fruit-infused cider bursting with flavor the next.

We host seasonal releases, themed events, and club gatherings that turn neighbors into friends and tastings into celebrations. From rodeo parties to orchard cocktail nights, we believe cider should be shared, savored, and occasionally frozen into a ciderita.
