“A quiet, relaxing place for a cider tasting. Delicious cider that will make you never want store label again. Definitely going back”
- Crystal
“Their cider is the best cider I’ve sampled, and exceeds what some of the major craft cideries are producing, and I’ve been to quite a few. Everything we sampled was delicious and unique. I learned that I do like dry ciders, I just haven’t found any that I liked until now! We sampled just about their entire menu, which has a wide variety (dry, off-dry, sweet, and special varietals) of unique flavors and there’s something for everyone.”
