Katie Selbee

Katie Selbee is a cidermaker and organic grower on S,DÁYES, Pender Island, a rural Gulf Island in the Pacific Northwest. She co-founded Twin Island Cider in 2016, a small land-based cidery/winery that caretakes and harvests many of the 120-year-old settler orchards still remaining on the Southern Gulf Islands. With a deep interest in traditional wine and cider techniques, Katie and her partner Matthew have been at the forefront of bringing natural fermentation and natural bubble production to the British Columbia cider scene. Her latest endeavour has been making clay vessels/amphorae from hand-dug Gulf Islands clay to use for fermenting and aging cider.
