Still serving and happy for the business. I chose a pint of The Unified Press and an order of the Crispy Brussels, both of which arrived swiftly. The cider was semi-dry with just a bit of sweetness. A perfect nightcap. The Brussels sprouts was a big portion and half of it went into a to go box. But the first half, I enjoyed very much until it was closing time. This was a lovely way to end my day of exploring Burlington. Nice warm spot, friendly service and great eats/drinks. I am only bummed that they were sold out of their non-alcoholic The Clean Mayor to bring a pack back home to my wife. [Review 1657 of 2024 - 146 in Vermont - 22680 overall]

We sampled a variety of them before choosing full pours of the Unified Press (standard cider), and Wit's Up (a bit hoppier, perfect for us IPA lovers). Weren't really a fan of their other selections, as we felt the added in flavors overpowered the appley flavor. Ordered a double patty burger, which was pretty tasty and juicy. Fries were extra. Overall, okay cider, good food, and good service. Probably a 3 for the cider, but service and food bump it to a 4.

Our only issue was that we couldn't buy the new-to-us flavor where we live, so we tried to purchase a pack of it there. Unfortunately, Sunday at 3pm seems to be a peak time and you can't check out everything at the bar. Waited at the merch stand for 15 mins and the poor guy couldn't catch a break. We had to leave. We probably won't be coming back because we ultimately got to try new things so we'll just settle for buying our ciders elsewhere.

We elected to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella. We could hear the band from the Japanese restaurant next door. I ordered a flight which consisted of four ciders that I could choose. The server wrote the initials of my choices on a board and told me what they were. I ordered less sweet, more dry kinds. There were subtle differences between them based on the fruit notes. I did miss getting a Huckleberry flavor like I do when I go to Washington state. Our server was upbeat and friendly even though we only ordered drinks. Tip: To enter, use the doors that say "use other door," I thought the arrow was saying go to an entrance around the building but that was an employee only door.

I thought they said this was the last month they would be open because they were moving to distributor sales. Also they have opened a wedding venue business on part of the wine estate. They gave us many small tastes for free. As many as one wanted. They also had various bourbon wines, 2 ice wines and multiple other wines (reds and whites). Tastings were in the front room. No food for sale. I didn't get any pictures since it was so chaotic and late in the day. We bought several bottles to take back. After enjoying at home we wished that we bought more.

You are able to pick your own apples, or sit amongst the pumpkins in front while eating donuts and sticky buns, and chugging down the most amazing cider! If you wake to the back of the farm you can see their cabbage patch and the pumpkin rows. The staff there was amazing, so friendly and helpful! Walked us through the process of creating apple cider, which by the way... was the most amazing cider. My girlfriends and I downed cider donuts (yum), sticky buns (amazing!), cider (the best), and blue berry turnover (heaven). And lets not forget, this wonderful find's backdrop is a mountain of foliage. A must visit!

Came in here and we were the only ones like in the other two cideries. The big difference here is that Du Minot makes A LOT of ciders of all types. The woman helping us guided us through their portfolio and let us try just about everything they offered from bottle pours including pours of specialties and old vintages. Lots of fun. However, most of what they make is okay and not stellar and almost everything can be bought at Marche des Saveurs in Jean Talon Market in Montreal. So go here for the experience, not for specific bottle hunting. I loved trying the ciders and the staff was hilarious and good spirited though possibly already drunk.
