Tag + Jug Cider Co.
Barrel-fermented and aged ciders made like wine because we believe it is.
Established 2013
“What does a truly dry cider taste like?”
That was the question that ultimately launched Tag + Jug Cider Co. so many years ago. We were sick of drinking “dry” ciders that clearly had plenty of sugar on the palate, so in 2013 we micro-batched a few experimental ciders, fermented them in old French Oak barrels to complete dryness and launched our cider company in March of 2014. Our bright and fresh ciders were quickly met with great acclaim amongst our local Bay Area restaurants, craft beer and wine bars.
Later that same year, Aaron started experimenting with cider-wine co-ferments and blends and we launched our small, seasonal line of cider-wine hybrids (Flora, Rosé du Cidre, and Deep Water) in 2015.
Since then we have expanded our offerings to include a canned Rosé du Cidre as well as a stainless steel barrel-age cider “Cold Coldie”. To this day, all our ciders are made naturally gluten-free, vegan-friendly, unfined and unfiltered without back-sweetening or pasteurization. Honestly dry, artisanal cider, barrel-fermented and aged with time and lots of love, from our family to yours.
Cheers,
Aaron and the Tag + Jug Cider Family
Maybe the Most Unique Cider Experience You’ll Ever Have.
Sip on our fresh, barrel-fermented and aged cider in our outdoor (dog-friendly) tap room while you take in the amazing views of our vineyards and the surrounding Sierra Foothills. Aaron will walk you through each of his artisanal ciders and cider-wine hybrids sourced from local orchards and vineyards. Enhance your tasting experience by adding a curated artisanal cheese + charcuterie board or take your experience to another level by booking one of our property campsites.
Whether you’re lounging on the beach, relaxing at the park, or casually sipping at home with friends and family, our artisanal ciders pair well with just about anything. So kick your feet up and rest assured in the fact that you’ll never have to drink another sweet, cloying cider again. Cheers to that!
