The staff is sweet! The cider was good to ok. The best thing is actually the non-alcoholic cider so buy that. And the apples. I liked the game room and the grounds are really nice to walk around. Nice little stop which I recommend. Yes, it's kid friendly too!! read more

Excellent... the family run-op and the choice of ciders was exceptional. Rivaled, if not crushed, the Flights of Ciders we've sampled in fields afar as Europe & Vermont. The labyrinth walk and the community feel was welcomed. We bought a small stash and we will be back. read more

We were the only ones here. We sat inside since it was a bit cold outside. We ordered 2 flights to try all 8 of their ciders. 3 were drinkable, the others we had to chug because they tasted like nail polish and very metallic. Behind the tasting room, there were apple trees in a cool circular pattern. Beautiful view. read more

Halcyon is what dreams are made of.Views are perfect and absolutely gorgeous. Make sure you bring a picnic lunch. I brought food that pairs well with sweet cider. But they honestly have a great variety. You can pay as you go or you can open a tab. We ordered 2 flights. My husband let our hostess pick the most popular *Jubilance-premium barrel aged, notes of Kentucky bourbon and vanilla *Beguille-semi dry. Crisp, tart, finished off zesty *Humblebee-sweet like wildflower honey. Reminds me of mead *Fickle-blend of apples, crisp and fresh. I think everyone would like this one I on the other hand totally loved picking my flight. *Ashmead-dry cider. Sour with a mineral taste *Labyrinth-blend of heirloom apples with modern apples. This is their all star blend *Fruition-semi-sweet. Notes of Deep delicious Cherry. Has southern charm and I could drink this all day. Oh and the color is perfectly pink *Wanderlust-sweet and delicious. Peach infused. I dream of drinking this on a hot beach day. So perfectly peachy. 5 star staff and very knowledgeable. The building is absolutely gorgeous and they have different areas to drink and eat. They do sell snacks if you don't bring food. They also sell a really cute keepsake glass. I wish they were close to where I live. I will make a trip just to see what wonderful flavors they have read more

Stopped by Halcyon on my way back from Roanoke after hiking at natural bridge. I was looking for a dog friendly location and this cidery fit the bill. It is a very cute location with tons of charm from the restored tasting room to the apple orchard labyrinth I truly enjoyed my time on the property. The ciders were the star of the stop as I was looking for some options for family Christmas and I ended up buying six bottles! Their flavors rotate and I decided to get the sweet flight, which included the spiced apple, bakers batch, humblebee, and toasty toes. My favorites were the spiced apple and toasty toes which had just the right mix of sweet and spice. I also was able to try the sleepy hallow, smitten, wanderlust and harmony and got a bottle of all but the sleepy hallow. If you like ciders and relaxing in a gorgeous setting I highly recommend adding this location to your list! read more

Lovely place to sit and enjoy some local ciders. We arrived at 1230 am on a Saturday. And ordered 2 flights. I went with the sweet flight and the fruity flight. Just over $20 total. They have 3 outdoor seating areas all covered, that have a rustic look. They also have a game room with seating area. The owners are very friendly and happy to help with decisions. They also have a maze made out of the trees nearby. We were unable to try the maze today but will be back to walk it. Plenty of parking on the front, the side and overflow in the rear if needed. read more

Great place to spend some time. Lovely owners, very welcoming. Quite a selection and variety of types of ciders. I'd definitely recommend a flight or two or three to share. That way you'll have a good idea of what to buy for home. And don't forget a bottle cap for your home cider. And some merch. It's also a labyrinth. What more do you want? Games? They have a gaming room too. Go here! read more

Wow! We stopped by here after a day hike in the Natural Bridge State Park and were pleasantly surprised! First off, the location is just excellent to provide some respite for thirsty patrons. The customer service was just excellent, nice and friendly but also knowledgable and kind. Our experience was unhurried, with a light bite to eat from their small local provisions (apples and pears harvested from their orchard) and some local cheese, etc...really just hit the spot. We had flights and then bought our favorites-We both settled in on the Fall Sentiments of 'Toasty Toes' and left very happy. Thank you for the hard work and dedication! I fully recommend stopping by to see this very unique cidery! read more

Wow! We stopped here while visiting the area and we're so pleasantly surprised. The owners are wonderful and very accommodating. They were patient as we made our choices of cider after tasting some. There are so many to choose from. The place has tables outside to enjoy a tasting experience. There is a game room including Skeeball and other fun games the children can enjoy while mom and dad make their choices of cider. It's a must if you are in the area. read more

How does this place not have 100+ reviews?!? The ciders are delicious. You can walk the orchard while you enjoy your tasty beverage. Cookies and cheeses are sometimes available inside. You should swing by. This place is great read more

This was so fun and it's just off highway 81. Close to Natural Bridge area but also to Lexington, VA. Maybe 17 minutes from Lex? There are 2000 espaliered apple trees arranged in a maze but there are helpful sections to get out of it. We tried two flights - one was a fall selection. My favorite of the fall was the Bee's Knees. Out of the regular, we liked M'apple. Very light and fun to drink. They will give you a plastic cup to walk the maze while drinking. Plenty of seating inside and out. Bottles are $16. Fun souvenir gift to buy & give. They also sell apple cider vinegar. Cute historic old cabin is the retail store. A basket full of fun toys for the kids and they can have apple cider too! The owners were there and delightful. Really nice people. read more

This place is a gem! The bartender was helpful and knowledgeable, the ciders are delicious and the apple orchard labyrinth is the best part. We enjoyed sitting under the gazebo at the center of the orchard, drinking cinder and snacking on cheese and crackers. I absolutely love that you can bring your snacks and drinks into the orchard and wander around and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great service and excellent cider! You can pick and choose which cider out of tons for your flight and they're priced low!

WOW! I was completely blown away by the beautiful backdrop of this cidery! I fully explored the labyrinth maze garden, the lovely patio area, the decor in the front, etc. I was just astonished by the beauty of this place. The scenery offers a great backdrop to a great afternoon of drinking cider. I am very much a big fan of cider (always have been) and the cider here was fantastic! I ordered the pixie dust cider (a smooth, sweet cider featuring the pixie crunch apple), which was sweet and lovely. As promised, I felt like a fairy! I also got the Somerset in a bottle to go (rose infused cider with notes of honeysuckle, lilac, and honeydew; "a pollinator's dream, reminiscent of a field of summer flowers.") The cider really hit the spot on a warm afternoon. There is plenty of seating outside, and it wasn't at all crowded when we visited. You get to freely walk through the spacious labyrinth maze / field out back, as well, and there is a lovely gazebo as well. Seriously, a stunning view! Parking was plentiful (it's right off the highway, with nothing else really around) and the service was great. Would I go out of my way to visit Halcyon Days Cider in the future? ABSOLUTELY! I am completely in love with this place and will dream of it often, especially when I fancy myself a fairy! read more

This place was outstanding! The cider is delicious and very unique. I didn't even know I liked hard cider but I do. Setting is gorgeous and we enjoyed it very much. read more

Awesome cider and super cute space to sit and play a game of Clue! It was a perfect stop for our honeymoon weekend. Thank you!

I have mixed feelings about this cidery. The selection of cider was very nice and one could spend a lot of money here. My husband and I spend over $100. The bad part is, at least when we went, the cidery was overrun with tiny, loud children. This is not an appropriate place to bring kids. I wanted to have a relaxing time. I'm an adult. If I wanted to drink alcohol and trip over someone's ill mannered offspring, I would have gone to chuckie cheese. Cider was good but I don't think I'd go back. read more

Beautiful setting with easy access to 11. They have a pretty large selection of ciders: dry and sweet, one or two still, a couple infused, some closer to beer and some closer to wine, etc. We liked Heyday a lot. We had two flights trying 2/3 of the different ciders. They also sell them in large bottles, wine-bottle size. Prices are reasonable and quality was very good. Small but cute seating/tasting area (they even have a vintage mid-century fridge in the back room, and an old well-preserved pickup truck out front. Very nice place to get a drink and take in the country views. read more
