Friendly. Modest. Cozy. Came here for "Pressed Fest" mid-October and surprised to find this little gem of the local community, attached to the Shamrock Grove motel with a cozy, fun vibe equipped with everything from s'mores kits, fire pits, and local honey and cider donuts. Skip the corporate cider also-rans: this is what NH small biz is all about. Cider was tasty, service helpful, and the outside community bustling with folks who seemed to know each other well (always a good sign). Fall 2023 cider lineup covered everything from sweet candy apple to dry "bonez" variant to (my fave) a classic New England Hazy Cider that's just the right balance of sweet and sour to meet most mouth's apple appetites. Come check this place, you might just be surprised at the flavor you find over the hills and not so far away.

Fun to visit the goats!

Great ciders and great people! Best cider is Baked Apple Crisp. The Hopped Blueberry was a great option for a beer drinker.

We didn't realize there was a full apple orchard with activities here, we thought it was just a…read morehard cider place. It was very crowded when we arrived but they had ample parking without any issue finding a spot. We each ordered a flight of ciders so we had about 8 different ciders to try. We loved them all. My favorite was the blueberry, you could actually taste the fruit and it wasn't super sweet which I loved. They had some indoor seating and out door seating with picnic tables. They only had a select few of umbrellas, out biggest complaint was we wish they had more because we were baking in the sun. They have a couple of port-a-potties to use and a watercooler and cups. The view of the mountain ranges was amazing and beautiful. We will be back.

What a fun place! I was thinking it would be a good road trip, out in the country, a Back road…read moredestination. Well to my surprise, the parking lot, and field parking was almost full. The process to eat/drink a bit clunky as you get in line for your first order, and the wait staff will assist on any second orders as you ae seated. The food and drinks were good. Lots of pizza, pretzels and cheese platters were flying out the kitchen. Upstairs was more of a self serve - jelly, popcorn, ice cream and apples . The real bonus is the Awesome Views, Mt Kearsarge and many others. Overall a casual atmosphere, a band on weekends.

We were spending a long weekend in the area and, as we tend to do whenever we travel, started…read morelooking for places to sample local drinks. We normally go brewery hopping, but if the town we're staying in has a winery, we make a point of stopping there too. So we ended up here for one very specific reason: we wanted to sit down, relax and try a couple of wine flights. We didn't do the tour and we didn't order food, so those aren't things I can personally comment on, but the wine experience alone was excellent. I did the white wine flight and my wife went with the red, and we were both genuinely impressed. Neither of us likes wine that is overly sweet or syrupy, and these were exactly what we were looking for. The wines had much more depth and character than I expected, with robust flavors that made the flights fun to work through rather than simply tasting like different versions of the same thing. My favorite was the House White Reserve. I could have happily sat there with a glass of that for the rest of the afternoon. The service was probably the biggest surprise. Our server took the time to explain the wines and answer our questions without making the experience feel overly formal or pretentious. That's important with a tasting. I want someone who knows what they're talking about, but I don't want to feel like I'm taking an exam before I'm allowed to enjoy my glass. We were made to feel completely comfortable, and even though we ended up staying later than we originally intended, nobody rushed us out the door. We sat outside on the front patio, which made the whole afternoon even better. There was live entertainment while we were there, with a gentleman playing guitar and singing, and it created exactly the sort of relaxed atmosphere you hope to find when you're away for a long weekend. Good wine, comfortable outdoor seating, live music and nowhere we particularly needed to be. That's a pretty good combination. Our only real regret is that we didn't order food. We've heard a lot of good things about the eatery, and after seeing what was coming out of the kitchen while we were there, I definitely wish we'd planned for a meal. We were focused on the wine flights that day, but next time we're coming back with our appetites as well. I really enjoyed this stop. The wine was excellent, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the whole experience felt like exactly what a winery visit should be. If you're in the area and enjoy wine, I'd definitely recommend stopping in and trying a flight. We'll be back, and next time we're staying for dinner too.

A super cute little winery! Full disclosure, I'm the farthest thing from a wine expert, so if…read moreyou're looking for a nuanced take on the vintages of Hermit I'm afraid this is not the review for you. But as a casual wine drinker, I really liked this place. We didn't order any of the food, but I did try a flight of their reds, all made not with grapes but a variety of local berries. I didn't get to sample any of their meads, but it's cool that they have them on the menu. We drank our wine outside on the lovely front patio, but they also have indoor seating both on the first floor as well as on the second floor where there was a musician performing. Good atmosphere, nice people working there, definitely worth a visit when you're in town.
