Healeys Guided Tour

The Healeys Guided Tour starts at the very beginning of our cyder making journey, with the humble apple! You’ll climb aboard Big Bertha, our 1950s Fordson Major tractor which will transport from the farm and down the alley to our family orchard.

There are approximately 3,000 trees spread over our 20-acre orchards, which is the largest orchard in Cornwall.

Then, we'll take a visit and guided talk of our impressive cyder vats and brand-new apple pressing facility which opened in early 2023.

Here you'll discover more on how we press our apples, capture the delicious juice and the magic taking place in the famous cyder vats which hold a combined 1.2 million litres of apple juice!

 And as you venture downstairs to the ground floor of Kay's Cyderhouse immerse yourself in the history of our treasured Austin-Healey classic cars.

Named after the founders, David & Kay Healey, here you’ll gain some interesting insight into how our cyder was made at the farm back in the 1980’s plus you’ll be shown some of the original equipment that was used!

Cyder making has come a very long way in the last 40 years!

Once a spirit has been expertly crafted, the next most important step for the likes of Brandy, Rum & Whiskey is maturation which takes place in our underground cellars.

You’ll learn how a cooper makes wooden barrels, the definition of angels’ share and more about the spirits resting quietly below ground!
