I can't figure out exactly why, but this place has such a great vibe! Maybe it's all the natural light and live plants. Maybe it's the friendly and helpful staff. Maybe it's that they are inclusive of all people (love that they have 4 unisex bathrooms). Maybe it's all the fun events they have and that they seem to really care about their community. But even with all those things, at the end of the day they need to have a good product and they definitely do! We have tried quite a few ciders and they all have been top notch, with some real creative flavors. Today we went to a cider and ice cream pairing which was so fun! We wished we lived closer so we could visit more often but it's definitely worth the drive from south Dayton when we have an open afternoon!

The Taproom is typically only open on Saturday evenings but I attended a private event on a Sunday afternoon. The interior has some seating alongside the many different brewing tanks. I started my visit with a flight, which included 4 tasters. I am not a huge cider fan, but the ciders I tried were all pretty good. They were not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the pineapple cider (Pineapple #10). Hella Good Blueberry Pomegranate was also good. I also got a full sized glass of the Hunky Dory Apple Pie. This drink had a strong hint of cinnamon along with apple. Mad Moon is worth a visit if you enjoy ciders. Their Facebook page advises when they have food trucks and other events.

This is a pretty neat little spot! Mad Moon Cider has been around for several years now but I think…read morethe tap room is a newer place. I randomly found it on yelp and being a new cider fan had to come check it out. So on a rainy Saturday, my bf and I decided to finally check it out! It's defiantly a little confusing to find. Nor is it in the best part of town. Google maps doesn't seem to be aware of the actual road they are on, as it only took us to the Cleveland Ave and didn't actually guide us the rest of the way. I've included the map from their website that shows how to locate them. There is a large green Mad Moon banner on the corner Cleveland Ave and Britains Lane- turn there. Then continue to follow the green signs as you wind your way through what looks like a storage unit complex but I think is actual businesses. It can be a bit sketchy but I promise it's worth it. I've had a couple of their ciders on tap at local bars/restaurants but didn't make the connection until we were there. BrewDog, Pins, Pies and Pints all has their ciders along with several others. You can find a full list on their website of where you can buy their ciders, in bottles or on tap. We started off with a flight- 4 ciders for $10. They are decent sized pours, too. Since their menu isn't huge, we opted to go this route to try multiple ciders (there are 7 total). I still wasn't totally sure which one I wanted to order a glass of and they let me sample a couple others on the menu to decide. I ended up ordering the Tangerine Dream and my bf had the Eat a Peach. They were all good though! While the tap room is fairly small, they have more tables in another room next to the bar area. In here they had a TV and several games for use so we decided to play Yahtzee and Candy Land while we enjoyed our ciders. I love when places have games available as we rarely play them at home and it gives us something fun to do while enjoying our drinks. Definitely worth the trip to check this place out! I was surprised how many people were there/stopped in while we were there considering it's not the easiest place to find and I don't think the tap room's existence is all that well known. So that was great to see. Always great to check out and support local!

I said it's going to be a really good one. We pull up and walk inside and it's kind of cluttered. The guy working the stand was quiet and not talkative like we are used to. The other part was trying the wines out, he didn't provide as much details on anything. Just not what I expected this place to be. Then the wine itself was okay, not that great. :(

A quiet corner to have a drink and relax? Yup. A main open area to be around groups of people? Check! We loved walking around and exploring the different areas and seeing the views! The flight of ciders was a treat and we enjoyed trying 4 different ones and comparing which we liked best! (Lemon ginger was a BIG hit!) The staff were all friendly and helped narrow down our choices. There's a separate part of the property where they hold weddings and events, which would be beautiful! Looked like they also have food trucks and music in the tap house regularly too. Looking forward to visiting again when I am back in town, gotta try the new seasonal flavor!

Dylan had wanted to show me how beautiful this place has become and also wanted me to meet Matt. Im certainly glad I did! Matt spent some time with us and let us explore the property. Matt is great! Retreat21 is lucky to have him as we found the landscaping to be wonderful. From the patios, to the right amount of gravel on the road, to their gorgeous, landscaped pond and event center and OH! can we mention how they incorporated a 100+ old oak to serve as an altar in their woodland sanctuary. Perfection!!! There is a large guest cabin that can be rented, plus seven other ones and a handful of geodomes. Each cabin has a private hot tub and fire pit. The geodomes just have a fire pit. At the front of the property is a large barn that has been converted to a tasting room. They have several house made craft wines and ciders. You can take those out to enjoy on one of three nice sized patios... one has hanging swings! They serve charcuterie, boards, and flatbreads... I'm on the weekends. They have food trucks. They also have yoga on the weekends that you can do in their vineyard -pretty cool along with other events This is a great addition to the Columbus area and Marysville. I think it's gonna be very successful. Definitely worth the trip to visit.

I've heard from many of our staff--both during the event and afterward--how impressed and pleased they were with Retreat 21.

I liked all the varieties we tried and bought 2 bottles to take home as well. Great space for those who want something different from beer breweries and try some honey based alcohol. The hours are a bit limiting but definitely worth making the trip here. The owner also lets you bring in outside food so feel free to grab some Greek, Chinese, or wings from next door!

As the first microdistillery in Ohio, my hubby decided it would be a great place to try on a rainy…read moreSaturday afternoon, so we schlepped down to St. Bernard to taste a few samples. We found the tasting room with no problem, and it is in an adorable little old building that has been nicely renovated, complete with a refurnished wooden bar from the 30's (a project completed over an 8-month time frame by Linda, one of the owners). In addition to spirits, you can try out their wines as well. Weekend tastings allow you 4 1/4 oz. sample tasting of your choice from their lists of vodkas, gin, and whiskeys. You pay $5 to do the tasting, which gives you a free shotglass, then it's an additional per-drink charge, ranging from $1.10 to over $10 per sample. By the time we were finished, between me and my husband, who consumed exactly 2 oz. of alcohol between the two of us, we had almost a $30 bill, which didn't include a tip. YIKES! We enjoyed the spirits, kinda. They weren't anything all that exciting, with the exception of their version of a bierschnapps, which isn't even available other than as a sample due to quantity limits. The gin was pretty light on flavor, although in the distiller's defense, he was intentionally shooting for a less juniper-heavy booze, compared to more of the mainstream gins that are so heavy on the plant aroma and taste. We didn't like any of them enough to buy a bottle for home, and again, prices were way too steep for what we tasted. Wines are significantly cheaper at $12 for 5 samples, which were fairly generous pours, from what we saw of our co-tasters. However, other than 2-3 options on their menu, almost all the wines are sweet dessert fruit wines, ports, or meads. NOT my cup of tea. While we were sipping, there was just kind of a weird vibe in the place. The owners kept making strange comments about how they had been shut down for 9 months, how "they" only let them pour 1/4 oz tastings, and rolling their eyes when they talked about state regulations around liquor licenses. It honestly made us uncomfortable, wondering why they'd been shut down and not really wanting to know about their business issues that might exist. Like I said, just kind of weird... While it's very cool to have such a small batch producer here, the prices were really disappointing, and the drinks weren't exciting enough to draw us back. If I liked sweeter wines, I would go back to try those with some girlfriends, but the options are way too narrow for my liking.
