The Cider House in Balestrand
Ciderhuset is located in Balestrand in Sogn, a short walk from the village center and Kviknes Hotel.
Balholm is our brand for beverages made from fruit and berries—and a large portion of passion. In the summer you can join a cider tasting and learn about different cider styles and how we make cider using the traditional method. You can shop in our farm shop or have a meal in our restaurant. We host groups all year around for lunch or dinner, interpretation programs about cider and fruit, cultural walks, professional events, team building and other activities.
