    Wow, this place has 23 different flavors of ciders to try, so there's something for everyone! My friend and I stopped in today and were blown away by the number of options. They offer $2 tastings and you can order as many as you like. We each selected 4 different ciders to try and really enjoyed them all. I'm typically not a cider drinker as I find most to be too dry for my liking, but the semi-sweet flavors really hit the spot for me. I tried the Slopeside (blackberry pear), Virginia Crush (orange vanilla), Red Velvet (vanilla raspberry) and Apple Pie and all were fantastic. This is a cute little dog friendly place with indoor and outdoor seating. Now that I have found ciders that I like, I'll definitely be back!

    I am local but I continue to come to this place. So many variations of cider to choose from. If you can't find one, well I don't know . They have good service and even though it gets busy, I've never had anyone be short or rude. Several seating choices to code from outside in the sun, under the umbrellas or even inside. The food menu does not disappoint either. They even have breakfast !!!

    Cute, decorative design at Coyote Ciderworks.

    I had no idea of the variety in ciders. There was chocolate cider, granny cider, gingerbread cider, and many more. The place was packed when we arrived. We had heard great things about Coyote Hole Ciderworks and looked forward to trying the many varieties of cider. Some were better than others. I really liked their giant, fresh, warm pretzels. The nacho cheese dip was delicious. And, last, but certainly not least....the cider flavored donuts were fabulous. They were soft, warm, sweet, and scrumptious! You get your cider flight and you get a buzzer, for when your food is ready. The picnic tables were not the most comfortable, so next time, we will look for the tables and chairs. There is live music on occasion. The place is cute and our cider assistant was very sweet and friendly. We would definitely return, if we were in the area. Thanks Mike, for the recommendation.

    Ciders: 3 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Me and my friend did a tasting of all of their ciders. You can get these fantastic little taster cups for about 2 bucks a piece, and they have the whole set up for these little square metal trays with laminated cards that list out the somewhat insane amount of ciders they carry. There were 22 ciders on that tray, and then 2 specialty ciders they had outside of their normal offerings, so we tried in total 24 ciders lol. I did not drive home - keys were handed immediately after the tasting to a friend who wasn't drinking. I mean... I LOVE the variety. Don't get me wrong. But after tasting a good lot of them, it just begs the idea that they should probably focus on making a smaller selection of excellent ciders than a surprisingly large selection of ciders that are a bit sub par. My favorite amongst all of the ciders was a cider called Santa's Cookies I believe. There a couple of other somewhat enjoyable ciders... but most unfortunately tasted a bit too watery for my liking. That said, they do have wines available and I could easily see myself going back and indulging in some wine while enjoying the expansive outdoor patio that is lined with firepits. You pay to get the firepit going and then can purchase more wood after the fire dies down. It's very reasonably priced. The service was also super great. The woman who helped us was kind as kind could be. A huge shout out to the giant soft pretzel I got too. The perfect pairing in my opinion for pretty much any alcohol. I gave the business 4 stars because I would go back - no question. Yes... I wasn't a huge fan of most of the ciders... but I was a fan of a few. Also, they have other drinking options as well and service and food (my pretzel) was stellar. Sitting around a firepit and chatting with friends on a beautiful day while tasting ciders was my idea of a perfect Saturday. We even made little judging sheets and rated the ciders 1-5 stars as we went through the more than 2 dozen we tried. I absolutely loved my visit, and the ciders not being to my taste could just be a bit of personal preference. In fact, one of my friends who came ended up taking home 2 6-packs of cider, so I know for her it definitely was.

    A great cidery in Lake Anne, that also sports some good food, oversized games outside, and let us bring our dog. We tried the Sister Sangria (not a winner), the Green Apple, the Oma Smith, and the Coyote HPA (a hopped cider), ultimately leaving with 4-packs of the Coyote HPA and the Oma Smith. Our family enjoyed the flatbread pizza, wings and grilled cheese as well. If it was not so darn hot, we would have hung out a lot longer outside and played some giant Jenga and Connect 4, but maybe next time.

    Such a cool place! We were out in the area for a motorcycle rally and this proved to be a fun ride out. The place is packed with options for outdoor seating, games, and indoor seating as well. We went early in the day and we had the place basically to ourselves which was nice. We could see how on a nice weekend it would get packed. We tried an assortment of ciders and they were all delicious. We chowed down on the amazing pretzel which is a must have and shareable. The donuts were a delight as well!

    They have creative and fun flavors. Even though not all of them were quite my taste, I still enjoyed the experience. It's a little expensive for what you get, though.

    Coyote Hole Craft Beverages is a stand out at Lake Anna. Excellent variety of fresh ciders and now expanding to wee Mineral Minerals Brewing they have a balanced offering of cider, local wines and creating some exciting new brewskis! The kitchen is offering a nice assortment of flat Breads, salads, subs and pizza with brunch on Saturday & Sundays. Friendly crew, ample seating inside and out, an events room and an assortment of local talent, karaoke, line dance, and entertainment!. Lots to enjoy!

    My first visit to Coyote Hole Ciderworks was late on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a tasting flight of all their ciders - 9 in all for that day: Roasted (6.5% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Apparition (6.9% ABV) (2.75 stars on Untappd) Bel-Hole (6.5% ABV) (3.25 stars on Untappd) Oma Smith's (6.9% ABV) (4 stars on Untappd) Red Velvet (6.5% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) HPA (6.9% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Ciderita (5.4% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Sangria (5.6% ABV) (2 stars on Untappd) Sister Sangria (5.6% ABV) (2.25 stars on Untappd) In general, across the board, I found most of the ciders at Coyote Hole - to be too sweet for my palate. I prefer crisper, dryer ciders. My absolute favorite though - was the Oma Smith's cider. I really felt like the Apples in this cider were the star - and it was not as sweet as the others. The ambiance of Coyote Hole Ciderworks is really cool. I like the venue - and the folks were super nice. I expect to come back and try the ciders again - next time - with a group of friends, as well as try out the food! #CoyoteHoleCiderworks

    When we're at Lake Anna, we love to stop by for food and drinks outdoors +/- trivia. The soft pretzel was a big hit; the nachos comes with a LOT of chips. Their ciders are so creative and diverse that you're sure to find a flavor or two that speak to you and every drinker on your gift list. Personally, I like the Oma Smith's green apple cider and the Cider Margarita. I don't recommend trying to drink an entire flight by yourself, however, as I and multiple family members have failed at that. Better to get a flight to share with 2-4 people and then take home a couple cans of everybody's favorite(s).

    Great space!

    Found a gold mine in Mineral! I know, this is a really teeny town with not much happening but keep digging and you will strike the mother lode! What a gem of a hot spot. You may have to travel down some country caverns of road to find it, but isn't all treasure worth searching for! This barn is rockin' for sure! CHC is such a cool place! We were looking for a winery but we ended up finding this cindery! Driving in we spied a big ole barn and heard a rock band playing some tunes. The parking lot is huge and the place started filling up fast! We smelled the tantalizing aroma of smoked bbq embracing our noses as we went inside. We hadn't been to a cidery before but we bellied up to the bar looking a little lost and a perky, sweet bartender named Elle came to our rescue. She briefed us on the various ciders they offered and suggested the flight of nine ciders. Generous pours of about 5 oz. of cider were served in nine cups on a galvanized tray and a description of each one followed. My hubby like the "hoppy" one the best, while I liked the chai tea blended cider, the one with Rosé and the lemon/lime blend. Sitting on chairs at a wrought iron table, we soaked in the views. Many of the tables had umbrellas for shade, but there were also lots of picnic tables outside and some bar tables inside with awesome barstools. From our vantage point we saw the huge movie screen which Elle told us about. They have movie night at dusk, Top Gun was playing that night, and she said to check the website for upcoming previews! What a great idea! We also watched some guys playing corn hole and everyone seemed to be having a blast. We couldn't resist the wafting scents of the meats from the grill. 191 Smokery was on duty feeding an appreciative crowd. We ordered the pulled pork barbecue with Cole slaw and the sliced brisket. The sandwiches were hearty, the sides were tasty (except the Mac n' cheese was bland), and the sauces were tangy and delicious! The food complemented the ciders well and we were in hog heaven! Did I mention the awesome Rolling Stones cover band Cherry Red that was cranking out some great tunes? From "Going to a Go Go" to "Miss You" these guys played the gamut! This cool tribute band added another layer of enjoyment to this groovy hang! You will definitely get some satisfaction when you come to Ciderworks and time will be on your side! Start me Up because I know we will be back in-cider soon!! Now "More cow bell!"

There is very limited seating in the indoor wine bar--two small tables is just about it. If they don't have a wedding or other event, the large barn-like event space is open with seating, but its cool and drafty so if you're hiding from the weather it is not ideal. They have a very small food menu and offer a rotating menu of cider flights and cocktails. Generally, ciders are quite dry, not at all like angry orchard or redd's (for comparison). The cocktails are fun and creative. I loved having the option for a hot drink in late December. At some point, I'd love to be able to come when the weather is beautiful and can take advantage of their outdoor wine bar, fire pits, and view. Ample parking, though as you follow the road up to the winery, you move from gravel to packed dirt. Parking can get quite muddy as it is just grass/dirt, and there can be some deep tracks left from cars in previous weather. Definitely not a reason to skip this place, but something that we noticed as we were coming/going since we were in a very small car.

My cider flight included (with associated Untappd rankings): Green Apple (4 stars) Blueberry Peach Jerk'm (4 stars) Elderberry Cider (4 stars) Passionate Perry (2.75 stars) Blackberry Jerk'm (1.75 stars) I really enjoyed the first three in the list - the Passionate Perry just did not resonate with my taste buds - and the Blackberry Jerk'm was bordering on a cough syrup taste.

You're able to try different ciders before purchasing them since most of them are on tap. If you're not in the mood to stay in their space, they offer most of the ciders to go.

Parking can be a little tricky since it's Scott's Addition, but it's never that bad. They have a women and men's restroom here. I'm classic and like their RVA Cider. In the summer, when it's floating season, I try to get their Watermelon Rosemary if it's available. I also really like their soft serve cider. They cycle out flavors and create new ones. You can always expect to find RVA Cider and Buskey Dry though. I highly recommend visiting Buskey for an RVA local cidery.

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.

Both items are perfectly paired with a cup of hot cider. While the apple‑picking experience is a highlight for many, the combination of panoramic vistas, fresh donuts, and comforting cookies makes it a worthwhile destination even for those who prefer to stay on the ground. It's an ideal spot for a casual outing, a quick photo session, or a sweet snack break amid beautiful surroundings.
