My favorite is the Hidden Star cider! it's just the right balance not too sweet and not too dry! It's very light and you can really taste the apples! it's such a fresh taste not artificial. Not highly carbonated either! i love it. Also my fav is the Black Currant cider, it pairs perfectly for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! We always pick up some bottles when we stop for cider donuts and apples!

We had four kids with us and they were super sweet with them and had non alcoholic apple cider available for them so they could included. All the adults got flights and Byron took his time walking us through all the flavors and ensuring we had a flight specific to each of us. The atmosphere is super cozy and the fireplace made a nice touch since it was pretty chilly out when we came. I would come here often if I lived in the area. Loved it.

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.

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.
