1818 Farm & Cidery

At 1818 Farm & Cidery, the apple trees are not decoration brought in for the wedding.

They were already here.

In Carp, on the western edge of Ottawa, this working farm and cidery surrounds celebrations with orchards, organically grown fields and the kind of countryside that makes the city feel much farther away than it really is.

At the centre of it all is the Cidery.

High ceilings and wide views across the heritage orchard give the contemporary space a sense of openness, allowing a wedding to feel polished without losing its connection to the farm outside.

And this really is an orchard.

Dozens of heritage apple trees grow across the property alongside hundreds of newer cider trees, with apples from the farm and surrounding community becoming cider made right here.

That gives the wedding something wonderfully specific to its setting.

Guests are not simply drinking cider at a reception.

They are drinking it beside the trees and land it came from.

Food follows much the same philosophy.

1818 offers farm-to-table menus alongside its bar program, bringing the agricultural side of the property directly into the celebration rather than treating the farm as nothing more than a part of the backdrop.

Seasonal ingredients and thoughtful menus help make the meal feel connected to where everyone is gathered.

It is that sense of place that makes 1818 feel different.

A wedding here does not need to pretend it is in the countryside.

It is.
