Bauman's Cider - Do You Fancy a Road Trip? (750 mL)
There's a very special story behind this cider... perhaps several such stories depending on how many glasses you've had or how many friends you've shared a bottle with!
"Do You Fancy a Road Trip?" gets it's name from a one-liner dropped by none other than Tom Oliver of Oliver's Cider & Perry during one Christine Walter's (Bauman's founder) trips to visit Tom in the U.K. The cider itself is a blend of a variety of estate grown apples from Buaman's Farm, spontaneously fermented with a little help from some lees left over in a bottle of a Tom Oliver's cider named after Christine. The apple blend includes a high percentage of Foxwhelp apples - a staple in many of Oliver's cider batches.
The cider drinks semi-dry with bold yet balanced levels of tannin and acidity (Medium-Plus). Delightful flavor profile of apple butter, sweet meyer lemon, esters from the fermentation, and tannins that dry out the finish with a lingering taste of biting into a fresh apple.

Why we love Bauman's Cider: Bauman's Cider is an award winning cidery based in Oregon's Willamette Valley, just south of Portland. Christine Walter is a fifth-generation farmer and the head cidermaker at Bauman's. Bauman's Farm in Gervais, Oregon was originally homesteaded by her Great-Great-Grandmother Elizabeth and her sons Stephen and Leo in 1895. In the early 1900’s, Stephen began making cider on the farm for family and friends alike to enjoy. Upon learning of her family's history of making cider, and armed with a degree in biochemistry, Christine has revived her Great-Grandpa Stephen’s legacy by blending modern cidermaking with heritage methods using fruit grown and harvested on their own farm, and in partnership with other orchardists in the region.
The fruit grown in the Willamette Valley is highly regarded and makes for some excellent cider. Bauman's Cider includes four distinct product lines that range from juicy and modern, to traditional and nuanced. Whether you prefer traditional ciders or modern, flavored ciders, Bauman's Cider truly has something for everyone! Their traditional ciders are amongst some of our favorite American ciders, and include a series of single-varietal ciders and artfully crafted blends. Bauman's recently opened tasting room in Portland, Oregon - Bauman's On Oak - is one of the finest cider & dining experiences anywhere in the U.S. We're pleased to offer a wide variety of Bauman's Ciders and make them available for cider fans to have them shipped across the country.
