Step into the historic Gowan cider orchards with every sip of our award-winning cider.
Made with organic heirloom apples that are picked at the peak of flavor, fresh-pressed during harvest, and estate bottled onsite.
Gowan's farm is recognized as one of the oldest farms in California, now celebrating 150 years of continuous family farming. These heritage apple orchards are the result of seven generations of apple farmers cultivating the orchards, curating the trees, and caring for the long-term sustainability of the family farm. Come visit us soon at Gowan's Cider Garden.
Family Roots-6 Generations
The Gowan family's connection to these apple orchards date back to 1876 when the first generation began tending the orchards and farmlands. A lot has changed in the succeeding generations, but one thing remains constant, a desire to protect and preserve and share the fruits of these special orchards.
