Ace Cider is a hard cider company based in Sebastopol, California, United States. It is independently owned.
History
California Cider was founded by Jeffrey House in July 1993.[1] The company makes cider, an alcoholic beverage fermented from apples, and was one of the first cider companies formed in the US after the end of Prohibition. ACE Cider also opened the first modern cider-centered pub in the US in 1999. The pub closed in 2010. House located his business in the Sonoma County historic apple growing region because it reminded him of his native England.[2][3]
On November 15, 2021, Ace Cider was sold to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. for $47.4 million.[4] In July 2024, Vintage Wine Estates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
