Delicious crisp ciders with unique flavors and a light touch of sweetness. The ciders aren't sugary sweet like Angry Orchard or Bold Rock but not dry like the ciders down south in Charlottesville. The tasting is a great deal and I believe it's $5 for 5 tastings and you can pay extra for more samples. There are no flights. The Off the Press cider with no added sugar was quite sweet on its own and my favorite! My hubby enjoyed the peach and Honey Ginger cider. The cinnamon spiced Wassail cider was tasty and perfect for the fall and comes in larger 16 oz cans (4 pack is $14) while some of the other flavors like the Honey Ginger and Peach ciders come in smaller, 12 oz cans (4 pack for $11). We bought 3 packs - Wassail, Honey Ginger, and Off the Press (Peach was sold out!) and devoured them within a week! I wasn't a big fan of the Strawberry and Blackberry ciders. There's outdoor seating to soak in the sweeping views of the Shenandoah hillside and the beautiful fields and pastures! The indoor seating is a bit cramped for only a dozen or so people. There's a small market next door that sells produce and meat. The food truck sold cider donuts and some hot food and drinks, I wish the donut was hot (it was stone cold!). Love the cider and will be back when we're in the area! read more

We were looking for a brewery for an early afternoon drink while on vacation. None were open, most would not open until after 4 during the week. So we opted for the hard cider. I am not a fan of the Meade or cider, but my wife was so we drove the gravel road to the Old Hill Hard Cider brewery and orchard, and the view was spectacular. High up on a hill looking down over the valley. As for the service, she was incredibly accommodating. We ordered a flight of ciders and chatted with her about the dry versus the sweet. In the end my wife found a wonderful option, the Virginia blackberry cider. She said it was her favorite. I had a Virginia tannin which I found matched a white Sauvignon blanc in some flavor, and was good for sipping in the shade on top the hill. Later we walked through the market, grabbed a 1/2 gallon of cider and pet the area dog before we headed out. I wish it was closer, but it deserved a 5 star for the cider. read more

PRO TIP - IF GPS TAKES you to a place that seems sketch, just back out, then follow the alternate route. The alternate route will take you to the front entrance. What an amazing find. We happen to be driving back from the cavern tour we did and saw the sign on the highway. We decided to veer off and give it a try bc we have never been at a cidery. I'm so glad we did. First off, read the protip. We almost turned around b/c it seemed kinda weird where we ended up. Upon getting to the entrance, you'll be wowed by the landscape. It's quite beautiful out there. They are redesigning the store front and stuff so I'm sure at some point my review of the facility will be irrelevant. On that note, I'll get straight to the ciders. Seriously - wth I didn't know ciders could be this good! I've been trapped in the commercial world of sugary and sweet ciders. This place totally opened our eyes to the world of what's possible with ciders. We tried every cider, pet an amazing dog, bought a peck of apples, bought a bunch of ciders in bottles and cans, and even bought the glasses we tasted out of. Needless to say, we enjoyed our visit. If you haven't tried a cidery or this place, you MUST visit. It's a winner for sure. Food Taste: n/a Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small cottage bar feel. Very quaint and friendly. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: yes read more

I love hard cider so I knew this last was a must visit while on our trip, not to mention we stayed at one of the Airbnbs on site! There's plenty of seating inside and outside. The woman that was working was incredibly friendly and super helpful when trying to pick what flavor I wanted. I got a glass of the peach and the wassail. I think the wassail is the best cider I've ever had!! I highly reccomend that, especially if you happen to visit in the fall/winter, the spices just give you that holiday feel. I got wassail and the honey ginger to take home! My friend doesn't drink alcohol & they had sparkling cider that she had! So a little something for everyone here. If you visit, you should definitely get some apple cider donuts as well! read more

Love this spot. Have been here multiple times over the years for apple picking (pick your own) and cider tasting. Lots of hard cider, pumpkins, apples, apple cider, pork, etc, to go. Great place to visit in the fall. read more

Had a great time! Cider was delicious. Great place to stop on the way to the mountains

My girlfriend and I are very big fans of cider, so we made sure to find some in the area on our vacation to Shenandoah Valley. Old Hill Hard Cider exceeded our expectations. Despite some trouble in getting there thanks to Google Maps sending us off-road through their orchard, we finally made it. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and even gave us some tips to see other things in the area. We had their cherry-infused cider as well as their Off The Press, which were two of their sweetest offerings. Both were perfect, and reminded me of Sly Clyde near home. I wish I was able to try more as they had some pretty interesting offerings, but alas, COVID has struck again. No flights were offered at this time. The place itself is very beautiful. It's surrounded by the orchards with the mountains as the perfect backdrop. If I have the opportunity I will add more pictures from my DSLR camera at a future point in time. Definitely check this place out! read more

Old Hill Hard Cider - Off The Press Hard Cider. Sweet and delicious! - Farmers Market Near Me - Timberville, Virginia

Ive been here twice and highly recommend it! I went on their Fall Harvest Day this time and it was so fun!!! They have lots of outdoor areas to sit (bring a blanket). You can bring food to eat while you're there, I always like making a charcuterie board. There are dogs running around like crazy and it was such a nice surprise!!! They're very well behaved and love lots of love from us! Their cider is really good too. Highly recommend the Off The Press Hard Cider. Their strawberry cider is really good too. They had apple cider donuts for the Fall Harvest Day and they were just okay in my opinion...still bought 1/2 a dozen though (: read more

The location is gorgeous. However they have seasonal hours which were not posted on Yelp so the 30 minute scenic diversion served as a reminder to call before going anywhere. We likely won't be back in this area again and are sorry we missed them. read more

Old Hill Hard Cider - Seasonal hours. Super. - Farmers Market Near Me - Timberville, Virginia

We stopped by Old Hill Hard Cider on a rainy day for something to do while we were in the area. It is a very family friendly atmosphere with fresh apples on the tables, board games to play and non alcoholic cider for the kids. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and informative about the different options available. We did the flight and tried several different types of cider. We ultimately ended up with the Wassail and the bourbon barrel aged cider being our favorites. There is great seating inside but also a good size porch outside with seating as well. We really enjoyed our experience and we will be back on our next visit to the area. read more

It was a gorgeous fall day without a cloud in the sky. The cider is some the best I have ever had. Very fresh. We went home with two bottles of Betwixt which very tasty. Very nice staff. We went of a Thursday afternoon and there were a decent amount of people there but all safely spaced out. I was told that is can get packed on the weekends. There is a full orchard on site where you can pick your own apples. Amazing views for relaxing and enjoying some good cider. read more

Million dollar view while enjoying a pitcher of hard cider is tough to beat. We stopped by while RVing in the area. There was an old farm house with laundry hanging out to dry where we turned that gave us pause. But we found the tasting room just down the road. They let us sample the cider and we bought a pitcher and a donut and enjoyed the view. Great place to check out! read more

Cider was great person working the counter not so much. If your not happy at work please leave it does ruin the atmosphere for others.. ugh

Wonderful selection of ciders and super friendly knowledgeable staff. Delicious! Thanks

I'm admittedly not a huge cider fan, but the service, views, and proximity to apple picking (when in season) make this a good choice. Old Hill is actually an orchard first which latter branched out into cider, so all their drinks are made from apples grown on the farm in front of you. A tasting includes a flight of 5 ciders for $5. Most were below 8% alcohol; whether that's a good or bad thing, that's up to the consumer! My favorite was the Season's Finish, which was the strongest of the bunch; it reminded me of a desert wine. Yesteryear wasn't bad either. Special thanks to the young lady who did my tasting. While she refused to call herself a 'cider expert', I think anyone who goes to every single cidery in Virginia to check out the competition deserves credit! read more

Wonderful visit! The outdoor-ish seating and view was great, plus all of the ciders were phenomenal! (Wassail was a favorite) Your GPS may take you off course, there are signs, please follow them. I love the country chic setting in their greenhouse. read more

Great variety of ciders. Love it! We got some dessert wine, and some very cool ciders to try.

So glad we found this place! Didn't have it come up in any searches online, but happened to notice it on a sign there. Great, local cider! Knowledgeable bartender. Very dog friendly! We were able to enjoy the views while our puppy ran around outside. My boyfriend doesn't really like to drink but there were two ciders he enjoyed so much that we bought growlers to take home. There's also a gorgeous greenhouse type building that stayed very warm and looks like it's made for a wedding venue? Very cute. There was even an English setter than came to play with our dog and didn't want him to leave. read more

Nothing fancy here. Peach and apple picking, very good cider on the patio. I was impressed by the range of offerings available. The cherry cider is a real treat. read more

Old Hill Cider is the cidery affiliated with Showalter Orchard and Greenhouse. They make their own cider and you can sample 4-5 ciders: $3 to sample their 4 regular ciders and $5 to add a sample of their Season's Finish dessert cider. Their ciders are fantastic!! Very crisp and refreshing, no syrupy taste due to low residual sugar. You can buy the cider by the glass or bottle and then sit in rocking chairs overlooking the orchards. The staff are really nice and seem to enjoy telling people about their apples and ciders. They also have cornhole set up and you can buy apples and/or peaches that are in-season. I really wish I lived closer... read more

Home grown customer service and amazing cider. Can't ask for more than that. Definitely need to come out and try this place!

This Cidery is great! The view was great overall and the staff was fantastic. The ciders were each very unique from the next and it was relatively inexpensive for the amount of cider you received in the tasting - you also get to keep the wine glass! I would suggest placing the tables were the view isn't quite as obstructed. Otherwise, I have no complaints! read more

We love cider. We did a tasting and kept the glass for $8. They don't give you much of a pour. Maybe 1oz. Two small sips worth. I can't say I actually liked any of the ciders. The orchard is breath taking though. We bought a few things from the store but wish we could have taken home some of the apple cider (non alcoholic) home. We are flying home tomorrow morning so it is not possible. It was absolutely delicious with the spice they have for sale to make hot apple cider. read more

Went on Thursday and tried Betwixt cider. Loved the ambiance of the rocking chairs on the hill overlooking the orchard where folks were doing U pick apples. Got the canned variety pack of ciders to go to try (no samples right now). Enjoyed those so decided to get some more as gifts. They were out of off the press hard cider but had the other three flavors. It was quite busy on Saturday, but most people seemed to be picking apples so it was easy to stay socially distanced. I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

Stopped here today for a tasting - great selection of ciders to please everyone's palate. We took home 1 Betwixt and 2 HoneyCysers. We will be back in the fall for Apple picking! read more

Great cider! Awesome time picking delicious apples. Friendly service, family owned with a family docs.

Often times there isn't a wide variety of flavors between ciders, especially when they're dry, but each one of Old Hill's hard ciders have a distinct character ranging from semi-dry to dry as well as flavored ciders and a sweet "ice" dessert cider. Their tasting is very generous for $5 with many standard ciders to try supplemented with seasonal extras that aren't on the tasting menu. Only drawback is that if the tasting room gets slammed, they aren't well equipped to handle it and had a little disorganization dealing with the crowd, but it's worth the wait. read more

Excellent cider! I saw the sign on the interstate and decided to stop in. I am so very glad I did! I highly recommend spending the extra $2 for the reserve tasting. read more

Looks like a good place to visit when open. Not open on Tuesdays. Great views. I had hoped to try their various ciders.

What a great find in the Shenandoah Valley! Maybe small in size but huge in atmosphere & hospitality! So relaxing! We loved the Tasting Room as well as the Donuts & apples available to purchase in their small market. And the staff was incredibly friendly! So glad we found this place-- we'll be back! read more

The people here are so friendly and helpful. We aren't even cider people but found ourselves enjoying a bottle of Betwixt (it was great). Definitely a great stop. read more
