Tori Ciderfarm
We are Karmo and Veranika from Tori Cidery, located on the edge of Soomaa. Tori was founded in 2014 when we moved with our family from Tallinn to the countryside, to our grandparents’ farm.
Our Story
We aimed to start producing cider and wine from the raw materials we grew ourselves. We are involved in every step of our products’ journey, from propagating and grafting apple trees to the final production and bottling.
Our gardens are organically cultivated, and we believe that a clean environment and ecological raw materials are the keys to sustainable management and a holistic future.
Several of our products have won awards and received recognition both domestically and in international competitions.
As a testament to our successful organic production, we won the award for Estonia’s Best Organic Product in 2016 and achieved an honorable second place twice in the Estonia’s Best Organic Producer competition (in 2019 and 2022).
Apples
Today, the farm’s apple orchard covers nearly 10 hectares, and we are expanding it with various fruits suitable for the Nordic climate.
