    My family and I made a trip to come here. It was a bit far of a drive about 2 hours but we wanted…read moreto check it out. There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

    Burnt Mills is one of my absolute favorite places to visit. It's a lot less commercial than some of…read morethe wineries/cideries throughout NJ/NY. I have tried almost all of their ciders and love tasting all the seasonal varieties on tap. Some of my favorites include the General George, Cider Donut, and Strawberry Lemonade. There's a bar inside and during peak months, a second bar is opened right outside the tasting room. There are two indoor bathrooms and a few porta-potties outside in the parking lot. They do not offer food on-site except for food trucks which are usually parked outside the tap room on weekends. You are allowed to bring your own food and I have even seen people set up for parties with a whole spread of snacks and treats. There is limited seating both inside and outside, so I strongly advise bringing lawn chairs. There's some picnic seating spread throughout the lawn, but it fills up quickly on a nice day. I love that they allow dogs as many of the wineries in the area do not. There's a bunch of lawn games available for kids and adults alike. They offer some 4 packs of cans and refillable growlers to take home. You can also find some of their ciders in local liquor stores. The parking lot fills up very quickly. The lot is a mix of dirt/gravel and can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Overall, a great day trip for families looking to relax outside on a nice day!

    Burnt Mills Cider, located on US Route 206 in Bedminster in a beautifully restored farm building,…read moreoffers innovative house-made "flavor-forward" ciders made from locally-sourced apples, a cozy but comfortable indoor tasting room with oak paneling and wood furniture crafted from the trees cleared on-site during construction, and a family-friendly and dog-friendly outdoor space with picnic tables, fire pits, and cornhole games. Burnt Mills offers a range of sweet and dry fruit-forward ciders in 4 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. servings with 12 options on tap, including seasonal specialties available only for a limited time. Thankfully, you can sample several of them at a time by ordering a flight of four 4 oz. servings. On my most recent visit, I really enjoyed the General George (5.5% ABV), a balanced cider featuring tart black cherry rounded out by vanilla that's smooth and dangerously easy to drink, and the Friendsgiving 2025 (5.5% ABV), a holiday in a glass that is a complex blend of cranberries, orange peel, rosemary, honey, and cinnamon. YUM! I'm definitely excited to go back and try the other varieties on-tap, then grab a growler or cans to go. PRO TIP #1: Drive slowly in the parking lot. There's a large dip midway up the driveway from US Route 206 that could bottom out your vehicle. PRO TIP #2: Pack a picnic basket. While recent changes to New Jersey's previously draconian liquor laws have eased many restrictions on microbreweries and cideries, they still can't have full-service kitchens. Burnt Mills often hosts food trucks on the weekends (check their calendar!), but you'll want to pack your own snacks if you visit during the week. You can also bring your own food or order from local Bedminster/Far Hills restaurants via a delivery app!

If I had to choose a favorite from my flight,it would be blueberry mint sangria-very unique and refreshing! Staff onsite are efficient and friendly,and the venue itself was cozy inside (it was a hot morning outside so we didn't sit at their outdoor patio,though it looks lovely!). Plenty of dedicated parking,so easy to get to. Overall,a nice quick pitstop while spending time around Chatham!

This is a legitimate winery operation with an extensive menu of wines by the glass and bottle, flights, cheese boards, homemade ice cream, ice cream wine floats (yes, you read that correctly) and so much more. All of the wine is fruit based so you can find things like peach wines, apple wines, berry wines, etc. Perfectly refreshing for summer. Hubs and I each had a flight plus got a bunch of things to take home. Needless to say, we tried a lot of their wine and we loved it all. The homemade ice cream is also standout and the strawberry was decadent. My kids were over the moon about it. The space is big and beautiful! The indoor tap room has lots of seating, and then there's a large outdoor area with tons of picnic tables and space to roam around. They have live music outside, and the views of the farm are gorgeous. There's also tons of play areas on the farm, so if you come with your kids they won't get bored. There are strict rules on keeping the wine within the winery area only, but this is definitely not surprising for NJ and their tough liquor laws. Overall - it's incredibly cool to see a full fledged winery like this pop up on a farm. Besides just serving wine they are keeping the calendar stacked with events and music. The staff is friendly. The wine is delicious. And it was a fun place to take my kids with all of the things to do on the farm. It's safe to say we'll be back, and I'm excited to watch them grow as word gets around.

We made sure we bought our admission tickets online because we would got $4 discount that way (as mentioned on their website). It was $19.50 at the farm. The admission ticket included: - free parking - One small pumpkin (we got ours) - use of red wagons and scissors - lawn games and corn hole - photo ops - wagon ride We also brought our own reusable bag for apple picking. We enjoyed the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch and back to the apple orchard. We got to pick some apples, enjoyed the live music and shopped at farmstand. I bought a dahlia flower bouquet for $30 and beehive honey butter scented candle for $17.50. We also bought some food at the farm but it was a bit pricey. The chicken burger ($10) was good but I didn't like that was a little charred and it was small. My husband liked the bratwurst and apple cider sauerkraut ($10.50) but he also thought the bratwurst was small. I think they should let people know that you can pick the zinnias flowers ($1 per stem) as well. I didn't know that until we were leaving so I rushed back and picked some. Overall, we had fun.
