The property is decorated with twinkling fairy lights, an old truck, and a rustic barn that are good backdrops for a picture or two. The staff was incredibly nice and knows their products really well. They brought our group bottles of all the ciders and took the time to explain each one to us. The honey cider was the group favorite, but I personally preferred the one with beet in it. They told us it was a controversial flavor that people love or hate, and I understand why. It has such a unique, earthy flavor. Outside, there's some fun activities , including ping pong, a fire pit, and Cornhole. It's a great spot to relax with your friends, sip some refreshing local cider, and enjoy the outdoor view.

Situated on the outer edge of the Catskills, it feels like Andes is just being discovered by visitors. To wit, at the cidery, I heard a Brit (conversing in English) with two Slavic speakers, one of whom was responding solely in his native language. Over there, two youngish guys were discussing bodybuilding form, which led to one of them dropping to the gravel to demonstrate his one armed pushups. And that was just the crowd... I sampled two ciders; everything is available on tap, plus guest taps of craft beer. The first (Catskill, I think?) was semi-dry. I usually lean towards drier varietals, but this really hit the spot after a long tour through the Southern Tier. "Wild" is just what the name says: foraged apples, never twice the same flavor profile year to year. Absolutely outstanding, so a bottle came home with me. A local in line ahead of me said their kitchen was slow, so I didn't attempt food. Really nice location, old coal yard or some such, very vibey, and pleasantly situated in a cute little town. The servers were super nice and engaged, which is always a treat.

Brings together some of the best locally sources cheeses and meats, a wide variety of hard ciders ranging from dry to super sweet. Staff was lovely.

Frangia or something like that.

Prices aren't the best, but considering everything is made in-house, I'd say you're getting decent value. Houses about 25 people for seating comfortably. I'd suggest trying a flight (4 samples) of cider. Can't go wrong with anything but we went with the sweet cider flight. We ordered the pulled pork, choripan, soup, turkey pesto melt, and farmers salad, along with an immunity (ginger) cocktail. We liked the soup, melt and pulled pork, but would pass on the choripan and farmers salad, esp since all meals came with the same salad anyway. While I don't think you should go here just for the food, it's nice to grab some cider before heading off on a hike and enjoying the natural scenery.

The owner told us about the Agro-tourism industry that connects people to farms, ranches for the purpose of recreation, education and direct sales. Critz operates all year round with activities and events for all the seasons. Christmas trees, maple syrup, pumpkin picking, apples, kids areas, rides in a wagon and so much more. We had a very good time in the tap room doing a tasting of several of their hard ciders. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and we even got to meet the beautiful dog Watson. I'm looking forward to coming back with the whole family.

Next we stopped in the tasting room and were able to score a couple stools at the end of the bar after just a short wait. We both ordered flights of seasonal ciders that are Critz Farm made.

To wash it all down and keep our throats lubricated for singing, we had a variety of house made ciders, craft beer, wine and NYS spirit driven cocktails available. Of course, if you weren't into day drinking, there were other NA options. Just an hour from Syracuse, Sterling Cidery is a regular third Sunday afternoon visit for us!

The owner seems very dedicated to having live music and supporting the arts so they had a band playing that actually sounded good! Lots of young families around enjoying the lawn games. Local ciders and beers were reasonably priced and tasty. I'm usually not the biggest fan of either but I ended up trying a peanut butter cider that turned out to be absolutely delicious. Not too sweet or tart and tasted actually quite natural. Ended up taking a growler home to share with friends. We weren't hungry so we didn't try the food but they had a chicken barbecue going and were selling cheese boards that looked pretty great. The bathroom situation is port-o-potties but to my surprise and delight they were actually clean and they offer a handwashing station outside. A++ recommend and would return.

Parking is free but be warned it is in a field and not organized. It was packed, but because there was so much to do, and so well coordinated, it didn't feel overwhelming.
