Location - Charming. Selection - Solid and leaning towards the dryer end of the spectrum. Vibe - Friendly and relaxed. I was on a 5 day road trip through Colorado and decided to pop in to Fenceline Cider on a Tuesday. It was a sleepy evening, but the locals were engaging and Tapster Dustin kept us all entertained. Needless to say, I decided to reserve a room just down the road and happily stayed until close. If I'm ever in the area again, I look forward to revisiting. I imagine the nights with live music would be a great window into the southwestern Colorado lifestyle. read more

Great outdoor eating..live music was really nice ...Cider was really good and Meg was terrific in making suggestions on what cider to try

After tasting Fenceline Elderberry Cider locally here in Grand Junction, we found ourselves 30 miles from Mancos on a tour of the SW corner of the state and decided to run over to check it out. Even though the town was covered in a new snow, Dustin made the Cidery warm and inviting. He took us through a tour of all 10 ciders and gave us the history of Fenceline. We have tasted most every cider in the Grand Valley and none were as delicious as any of the Fenceline ciders. Dustin not only gave us a tour of the ciders but talked with us about the Mancos area and introduced us to the power house women who get together there every Monday night! What a wonderful group of women and an incredible experience. Thank you Dustin. We are now looking to move a little closer so we can frequent your wonderful establishment! read more

A nice casual place between Mesa Verde and Durango. Delicious ciders and good bar food from the trailer outside. read more

After a stop at the local playground we headed to Fenceline to check out the live music, on Fridays, cider and onsite food truck. The outside area was pretty packed but we found a seat on the tables in front of the food truck. I ordered the two pork taco special and the pastrami sandwich, pretty much a Ruben. For some reason they call all of their sandwiches tortas but I'm not sure why as the bread wasn't what you would expect on a torta. The kids got the grill cheese with nothing but cheese and enjoyed it. The pastrami sandwich was great and the tacos were nothing special. My wife picked us up a couple of ciders and they were enjoyable. I've had more ciders in this part of the country than I've ever had before, they seem to be common fare. The live music was enjoyable and the crowd seem entranced by the music. Fenceline is a solid spot for a cool drink and sandwich if you're in the area. read more

Was there last night & really enjoyed the band. We went for bluegrass but appreciated that out of respect & admiration, they played a number of Ozzie Osbourn songs. read more

Great place in Mancos, Colorado... we were passing by on the way to Durango and found them to be highly recommended. We were not disappointed by the taproom on a river with a great outdoor area that welcomed dogs. Excellent enthusiastic service for a great selection of ciders. We did a flight of four and they were all great. The variety is wide... anything from hopped to sour. My favorite was the Farmhouse Cider made with wild yeast and aged in French oak, it was just a bit sour. Great cider if you enjoy sour beer. They also have a food truck that was serving some good looking burgers,etc. We picked up some chips and salsa, spicy and delicious. Definitely a go to spot. read more

Cute, quaint little place to enjoy a glass of wine or hard cider while overlooking the river. It was a very peaceful afternoon. They had a food truck. I enjoyed a glass of their Red Blend. Our server was friendly. Next time I'm in town I would like to visit when they have live music. read more

So Sweet! Love this place! The outdoor seating overlooking the wooded stream is such a nice atmosphere. Several amazing ciders to choose from, my favorite is their elderberry. Recommend sharing a flight so you can try a variety. The wood fired pizza truck is delicious & even offers gluten free cauliflower crust. read more

We stopped here after a day of hiking. I was thrilled to learn it was the ciders we sampled at the Telluride farmers. The ciders are delicious and have unique flavors along with the traditional. The patio is right by a small river. Such a relaxing time on their patio. The music was good too. And service was friendly. Too bad my vacation is over tomorrow. read more

Fenceline Cider - Cideries Near Me - Mancos, Colorado

On my honeymoon, I wanted to seek out a new-to-me cidery in between the dozens (literally dozens) of brewery visits. Fenceline popped up on Yelp on our road trip in the middle of a small town called Mancos, so we decided it was time for a break from the drive. The cider garden is expansive, overlooks a petite river, and is pretty well shaded thanks to the large trees that cover the patio. We went up to the bar and spoke with Jordan, the very knowledgable bartender, who walked us through the ciders that were listed on the board outside. We couldn't decide on one, so we went for a flight of everything. They have eight on tap, plus cider slushies available. We grabbed a seat at the tall barrel table and went through the flight, trying out each one and saving our favorites for last. For us, that was a tie between the Pollinator and the Elderberry - both in the semi-sweet category, but there wasn't a single cider we didn't enjoy. One of the cider-makers came out and introduced himself which was an unexpected surprise - we love talking about fermentation with people. We ended up snagging a mixed four pack to take with us, and made sure to seek them out when we landed in Durango for our final stop of the road trip. Not sure if we'll make it back to Mancos, but luckily they have a cider finder on their website, and five bars and liquor stores have them available, so we'll be imbibing more shortly since the four pack disappeared very, very quickly. read more

What a great place in Mancos. Incredible ambiance right on the river. The BEST apple cider you will ever get!

This is a great place to go after riding Phils world. They promote a lot of local talent as far as art and music, and provide great snacks that keep me going until dinner time back in Durango. You can tell this place is well thought out and is a labor of love for someone. read more

What a fun evening!!! We're new to the area and our cider tender Alys (Elise), the ladies running the food truck (didn't catch their names) along with the rest of the patrons made us feel like old friends. Also excellent ciders. If I could give it 10 stars I would. We will absolutely be back. read more

We were looking for a lunch spot with outdoor seating on a beautiful day after a morning at Mesa Verde NP.Fenceline got bonus scoring! The thin crust pizzas from the food truck were gourmet as was the very fresh Caesar salad. We sampled the ciders (fave was Seedling) and enjoyed the sunshine with our pup happily lounging at our feet. read more

Absolutely one of the most charming stops on our first trip to Colorado. We went on a recommendation from a store in town. The ciders were amazing and the atmosphere perfect. Live music was being played. Fantastic bartender. Wish we had a place like this at home. read more

The food truck has excellent food. They've even got gluten free options and they taste delicious. We had The Ranch (cowboy caviar) and it was fresh and tasty. I also had The Roadrunner on GF bread and it was on point. Great flavor, great portion size. My kids shared the Tananger (fancy grilled cheese), which they kindly customized to remove all the fancy stuff and just make it a grilled cheese. The location is great, right on the river downtown. There was a band playing and they were enjoyable. I did not love the cider I chose - the Farmhouse cider. In retrospect, I should have had the taster they offered me when I was ordering. There was just an aftertaste (I think it is from the wild yeast) that I have a hard time describing. I would definitely come back here again and try one of their other ciders. read more

Great cider, great band, good friends. Yippee Perhaps a 2nd cider-tender when a hot band is playing? read more

Fenceline remains a go-to place when visiting the area for a relaxing drink of cider with friendly bartenders and a wonderful setting on the Mancos River. We had the Elderberry Cider, an all-time favorite of ours. The patio is a delightful place to sit and watch the water roll by while you enjoy a great cider (they have a nice selection for all tastes). There is also a food truck that provides the same level of friendly service as you get in the bar. The patio is dog-friendly, and there is plenty of parking in the surrounding area. read more

Nice place, friendly service, food truck, and a dog friendly patio on the river, a little slice of heaven in a sweet little town. They have a large selection of ciders and a small selection of excellent local wines. A really nice spot to relax and quaff a few beverages with friends and family. read more

I LOVED this place!! The ciders are super flavorful and very affordable. Most of the 10oz are $4 and the 16oz is $10! The flight is 4, 4 oz's for $10- a great way to try numerous options but still getting their money's worth. The lady giving out the ciders was very friendly and let me try 2 of the ciders I was debating between. The area itself has a great summer ambiance, lots of greenery, mood lighting, and plenty of seating. They had some food but we didn't get a chance to try it. Overall, great place!! I would definitely go back. read more

The ambience is what makes this for us; so relaxing & enjoyable! Cider is cold, refreshing, & delicious! The outdoor patio is right along the Mancos River, under choke-cherry trees, with enough shade & sun (if that's what you prefer)! So peaceful & serene- do yourself a favor, and support the "little guy"!! Food truck usually on-site, check their website for info. You'll be happy you gave this a "check-out"!! read more

We had some of the best chili ever at the food truck and then awesome apple cider (non-alcoholic), but everyone we saw was enjoying their Hard Cider! They had lots of fun flavors in their Hard Ciders. The service was awesome both at the food truck as well as the Cider counter. And you can't ask for a better location than on a rippling creek and soulful music playing. Will be back! read more

Great place if you love cider. They have quite a few tasty varieties and they also a small selection of wine. Their outdoor patio is nice and a small tap room inside. Can't wait to go back when they have live music. I also see they have bingo nights which I will also check out. Amazing service too! Rod is awesome! read more

Excellent ciders and friendly service! We liked the Elderberry and the Rose ciders the best. Peaceful patio overlooking the river. The food from the food truck was also amazing. We will definitely be back! read more

As someone who has been following the craft cider scene for a while now, I'm so happy that the area has come cider options, including Teal Cider in Dolores. The space itself is clean and intimate. The staff were lovely. Food trucks are a nice addition. My friend and I did a flight of pretty much every cider they had on tap. I didn't love everything, but I did enjoy a few ciders. And, I was appreciative that their guest tap was from Teal. After we enjoyed our ciders, one of the staff took us into the production room for a quick tour and cider intro. And, apparently, the owners do that for customers on the regular. I appreciate that openness to educate. I look forward to coming back when it's a bit warmer and can enjoy the patio. read more

Such a great place in the small historic town of Mancos, CO. Walking distance from the RV park we stayed at which was really nice. Fenceline makes 99% of their own hard cider and the bar's location is right next to the river that goes through the town. It's beautiful and so relaxing even with the hot temps we experienced. They have some nice music playing plus the beautiful nature you take in while sipping on a sampling, glass of cider or wine (which they don't make; but have of cider isn't your jam), they also have these two slushees; one being apple and non-alcoholic and one a red wine, and very popular!! Pretty much that is what I saw most ladies enjoying on the hot day. The place is absolutely awesome as you sit and enjoy listening to the river. We are more of wine people but did try the ciders. Our fav was the Elderberry and Honey Lemonade. The others had a beer after taste and since we don't like beer, just wasn't good to us. Also my husband said they had somewhat of a fizz which turned him off. However if you like hard cider then definitely this place is a must!! And if you don't, still come and enjoy wine or the slushee and ambiance. Got to meet one of the owners and he was super kind. Oh yes, they have a good truck each night and sometimes live music. They do sell some food items inside, Fenceline apparel and have a cold fridge with cans of what I think would be cider but I didn't look. read more

As a person with Celiac Disease who cannot drink beer, I tend to drink a lot of cider. One thing that I have noticed is that it is really easy to create mediocre cider, but it takes true artisans to make award winning cider. Fenceline cider had me floored by its exceptional, clean, and unique flavors, smooth texture, and balanced profiles. I tried a flight and was astonished to find that each option had me impressed by the quality and taste. I couldn't decide which i liked better! They were all so good! These ciders are easy to drink and not too dry nor too sweet. They are perfectly made. And I'm not exaggerating when i say that this cider company is creating the BEST cider that I have ever had. EVER. Plus the outdoor seating and ambiance of the tasting room is super fun. Great energy- relaxed and an easy place to meet new friends. I can't say enough great things about Fenceline. You gotta give it a try. read more

Realty friendly staff and a peaceful location near the river. Plenty of seating and snacks. Love the shirt designs too. The finder was flavorful and it comes from local apples. My favorite was the spur bearer. They have flights, full pours and wine. Go support them! read more

What a delightful surprise! Great vibe, service & cider was fantastic, did 2 flights of four types which was perfect to share. Will definitely return! read more

This cider is SO GOOD. It reminds me of cider I used to drink when I lived in Europe. If you weren't planning a trip to Mancos, now you have a reason. This is a gem of a spot. You can grab a cider or wine and enjoy it while sitting along the Mancos River. The cider and wine are made from local apples and grapes. The folks at Fenceline truly love their craft, and the cider and wine are a reflection of the local region in which they are made. read more

Cannot recommend this place enough! Delicious cider, amazing dog friendly patio, set alongside the most perfect creek! If you're on your way to Durango make the stop in Mancos! Ask the story behind the name, truly amazing. read more

Cool little spot! We didn't even know these guys were here - they've taken over at the site of an old cabinet shop. Cool beer garden area that overlooks the Mancos River. Live music several times a month - no kitchen but they have food trucks come in on Friday and Saturday nights. Great service - very knowledgeable on their craft! read more

A belated but heartfelt five stars to Fenceline for making our special day more special. We got married,eloped, and stopped by Fenceline as part of our wedding day. I had called ahead to reserve a table and Ansley had made a congratulations sign for us and gave us a free flight of cider. It was so perfect. The cider was delicious and the staff was so kind. You made our day even more special. Thank you! read more

Finally went to try out a cider, left after putting back three. So good! There were options to please your average undiscriminating Angry Orchard fan, like their "Seedling" traditional American off-dry, which was crisp and wonderful, and an even sweeter berry option that was one of the better "desserty" drinks of any sort I've had in a long time. But the more creative ciders are where the real money's at. Their take on a dry-hopped cider showed some thoughtful restraint - balanced and tasty. My favorite of the night was the "Root-n-Ratliff," which offered a lot of bolder, funkier apple flavor and had the complexity of good craft beer. They also had mead on tap, a fascinating cider-Riesling blend, and a selection of wines. Never got a flight, but it must certainly be a very engaging and entertaining experience. Friendly vibe, excellent service, nice interior ambiance, and some great open-mic performances when I visited - Kai and Andy were welcoming hosts. Enjoyed a rousing game of Set with mostly strangers. Would love to return with warmer weather for the outdoor seating by the river - very cool. Whatever it was, also ate some killer ribs from a friendly bbq vendor braving the cold by the outdoor patio. 10/10 experience. read more

This is such a relaxing environment with awesome cider! The live music on Friday night, creek side patio dining right along the Mancos River, nice staff makes for a very enjoyable evening! Thank you Fenceline Cider-we'll certainly be back next time we're in town!! Love the "Pollinator Cider" !! read more

Wonderful location, ambiance, cider and service. Great place to enjoy a cider right on the river!
