Derived from the maritime phrase, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning,” the Red Sky cider appellation is deeply influenced by Nova Scotia’s seafaring heritage. From the early days when apples first arrived by ship to today, Nova Scotia’s terroir is still shaped by the surrounding waters. Apples grown here are some of the best in the world—and, unsurprisingly, they make for really good cider.
The Red Sky appellation is a mark of quality that tells you a cider is 100% Nova Scotian, from the apples right down to the craft. It highlights the vibrant flavours of our local fruit, supports local producers, and preserves the region’s rich cider-making traditions.
To earn the Red Sky Appellation label, a cider has to meet strict standards and pass a yearly blind taste test. Only the best make the cut, so when you see that label, you know you’re sipping something authentically Nova Scotian.
Where to Sample and Purchase Red Sky Cider:
- Annapolis Cider Company, Wolfville
- Beausoleil Farmstead, Port Williams
- Chain Yard Urban Cidery, Halifax
- Lake City Cider, Dartmouth
- Island Folk Cider House, Sydney
