What a great experience! We took my sisters best friend here for her 21st birthday. We picked this…read moreplace because she specifically likes cider and had never been wine tasting, and they have both cider and wine. We started off with two ciders and they threw in a rosé, and then we ended with a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot noir. We also picked this place because they allow you to bring outside food for a minimal extra charge. We brought lunch and a birthday cake to celebrate. The staff was very inviting very and informative. We came on a Sunday which they also provide live music, which was a plus we didn't know about.

It's what definitely keeps my interest going. For ACE I had their Joker dry cider. What makes up this cider is double fermented apple juice made with champagne yeast. This creates a sparkling cider with a dry, clean taste. Fun experience all around and if given the opportunity would love to try more of their cider options in the future.

Thanks for the all that happy drinks!

If you are in…read morethe latter camp, David and Zoe (the owner-operator couple) have a wealth of knowledge and it seems like there is nothing they like to do more than introduce people to their product and the orchard, and chat about the process. There aren't very many places like this one, where you can have as in-depth and personalized experience as you want to and never feel rushed. There's a new, small club, and they are very generous with their early members with releases and fun pick-up parties. It's also an attractive location fairly close to the town of Sebastopol and to other wineries and dairies, if you're making a whole day of visiting the area.

There are picnic tables and outdoor furniture so you can enjoy your wine in the sun. We tried the cider on our way out and will likely be back for a bottle of that as well. A great spot to stop if you're in the area!

We tasted a variety, but I loved the berry-ish cider. (Sweet and easy to sip) Barn was air conditioned, so it's great to come in during a hot day. As you drive up the small hill, make sure and turn right or else go around and you'll see it. This cidery shares the tasting barn with an aperitif and a wine tasting business, so you can enjoy all three types of beverages while sitting on a stool (just don't fall lol) Ambiance is unpretencious, friendly and casual. I'm a berry lover so I was drawn to that particular one. (First of three ciders) Can't wait to return. Happy libations all !!!

I called ahead today (Saturday) to check and they were happy to send someone over for a tasting. We tried all 4 ciders and all 4 aperitifs. I liked the raspberry cider and the semi dry champagne yeast cider as well as the blood orange, strawberry and citrus aperitifs. Their house dog is super cute too. Definitely recommended!
