Wassail

Our Wassail spiced cider harkens back to the wassailing tradition of drinking spiced cider and singing to the apple orchard. Wassailing refers to the Anglo-Saxon winter celebration that involves drinking and singing to the health of an orchard; an ancient practice originating in southern England that is still performed at Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse today. The purpose of wassailing is to awaken the cider apple trees and scare away evil spirits to ensure a good harvest. Wassailing also refers to the tradition of raising a glass with good friends and neighbours in celebration of the season.

A great fit for all your traditional sides too: garlic mashed potatoes, braised winter vegetables, and roasted turnips. The spices ensure it’s also ideal with strong cheeses, apple pie, apple crisp, pumpkin pie and Figgy Pudding.
