    Today I had the opportunity to go on a field trip with my school, Johnson & Wales, to Sowams Cider Works. We started our time there by taste-testing different apple varieties. While we tasted, we were taught about the difference in apples as well as the process of cider making. This was very insightful, and I learned a great amount about the process of cider making as well as the process of apples growing. We ended our time there tasting their 4 different ciders they make at Sowams Cider Works. They were all delicious and had different, complex tastes. Overall, I had a great experience here and enjoyed tasting everything!! I would recommend coming here to any of my cider lovers or those looking to learn more about cider.

    First off, Margaret Meg was an absolute pleasure to have as our hard cider slinger! She was very knowledgeable and very friendly! Nothing better than being greeted by a smiley person! The ciders were very good! Sulfate free and no added sugar! My personal favorite was the Roxbury Russet! The tasting was a flight of 4 for $10.00 served with yummy bread sticks! The bar stools were one of a kind, custom made, on some sort of a swivel system! Totally cool! Check em out!

    What a fun little place in the Bristol/Warren area! They took a classic bar and put it in a cider mill, the flow is amazing and the custom swivel seats are unique and highly functional. Our hostess, Meg, was super sweet and very knowledgeable on the apples and the ciders. We opted to try a flight of four and were treated to a very unique experience. They each had very unique flavors to each other, as well as to other ciders we have tried. My personal favorite was the Virginia Crab. My wife preferred the Roxbury Russet. After our tasting we each opted for a glass of our favorite cider and more conversation with our lovely hostess! Not only does Warren Cider Works have delicious ciders to please any palate, they also have great hours for weeknight and weekend fun alike (our biggest complaint with so many wineries that we frequent). With this combination I can assure you that we will be back very soon!

    Quaint and intimate little spot just off the Main Street, WCW was a wonderful surprise. Although not for the average cider drinker who may enjoy a sweeter angry orchard type drink this place provides an authentic experience. As a home cider brewer and lover of more rustic ciders that tend to be a bit more "funky" this was right up my alley. Stop by and try a fresh pressed treat and gather a wonderful history from the pleasant staff

    Cute little hidden place on Rt.103. Place smells great inside, apples galore. The ciders are smooth and tasty. Once you try these ciders you will never go back to the liquor store bought ciders, which are full of sugar and added junk. Bartender was awesome and full of knowledge.

    Fresh apples for sale next to the bar!

    I was in Warren over Thanksgiving 2018 and the owners had just opened up about 3 weeks prior. The inside was still a work in progress, but the taps were flowing! They have hard cider available by the glass or you can get a flight. My boyfriend and I each opted for a flight so that we could taste all 4 ciders they had on tap for $10. Great balanced flavors - 2 were on the sweeter side, and 2 were dry. If you find a cider you particularly enjoy, they sell them by the bottle as well. They also sell the apples they grow, and have a lot of interesting varietals that you wouldn't find at your local grocery store. All in, a really enjoyable hangout in the small town of Warren!

    First time at cider works, absolutely amazing cider! Not too many seats with COVID restrictions, but certainly worth a visit.

    I read an article about the opening of Warren Cider Works and out of curiosity and a desire to support a local business I stopped by the store.

She deserves everything she gets, and I certainly hope they pay her for her energy and talent. This review is about value. We each had a cocktail that cost $17. I'm used to paying a lot for good crafted cocktails and these were good. Still, that's on the high side for a cocktail in a place like this, a place that's not a dedicated Mixology place like it say, Violet Hour. We were also told when we came in that there would be a $10 cover charge for each of us. That's fine as well. What I can't understand is how our bill came to $87. Even with two $17 cocktails and two $10 cover charges and a 20% tip or service charge that is still high. What the hell? You may have a good time if you go to this place. But keep in mind, it will cost you. Likely much more than you think.

Your store, your vibe. I absolutely loved all the selections of every kind of liquor though, stuff you just don't see in your normal liquor store. That being said, I was entirely priced out for the most part except for the $17 wine I walked out with. I was greeted repeatedly, so much so, that it was actually a joke. So yeah good service. On three counts vibe, service, price, service was top. I can't say I would consider this again.

We had a tasting of a few wines and then chose ours for the stay.. also purchase a few to bring home and to add to Mother's Day gifts. I was very happy (family surprised me with a little picnic here today for Mother's Day) We got here right when they opened, which was a good thing because it filled up quite quickly.. but you don't feel over crowded since there is plenty of room and it's very spread out. - being you own chairs blankets etc if you want.. kids are allowed, no dogs.. being food/snacks and be ready to have an amazing relaxing time tucked away in a "secret garden" of Johnston! lol

They have tables to sit and drink wine or have lunch, and a flock of very cute fluffy chickens that scatter around. Some families were there and they had ordered a pizza to be delivered there and were drinking a few bottles of wine. We opted to try the 7 wines for $12.00 tasting. The woman doing the tasting was very detailed about the wines and we really enjoyed listening and asking questions. We enjoyed all the white wines with the Cayuga White being our favorite, so we got a bottle of that to take home. I also enjoyed the reds and the rose. The owner was very friendly and loved chatting when we asked about the huge unusual tree - it is his pride and joy - a chestnut tree! We would definitely come back. I do wish they gave more than a very small pour. In some of the wines, we couldn't really get the flavors as there was just not enough wine in the glass to taste fully.

    "Walk in as strangers, leave as friends."…read more If that's not a saying that makes you want to head there now, then I don't know what is LOL! Obviously, there is more to the new renovated location of La Cantina than this saying but I will say I was pretty impressed when I saw it and knew I had to add it to my review. Let's just say it is pretty accurate. We did leave as friends since we made a few at the bar and then some. Just saying! La Cantina winery in Franklin, MA used to be a small wine bar that offered wine tasting flights and minimal food. BUT, now it is in a stunning new location (not far from their old stomping grounds). Fun Fact: It used to be a Mechanic garage. Well, wait until you see how it has turned from fixing cars to wine making and tasting. YOU HAVE GOT TO COME HERE! Parking is easy with plenty of spots. They have a lot of room at their gorgeous bar, but they also have high tops and tables for families or a large group. And, they host events here too; birthday parties, bridal showers, and anything in between, this place is it. I actually want to hold one of my milestone birthday parties here but well keep the number a secret for now. Service: Alana was our bartender and she was wonderful. Always asking us what we needed and how were doing. You don't get this upscale service any where else. And, when I wanted another sample of something she gave it to me without a fuss. Always with a smile on her face, she was the best. Wine: They have an excellent wine menu to choose from and they offer flights for about $25 pp. Flights are the best way to try multiple wines. I personally loved most of the red wines with Petit Sirah being my favorite. My husband loved their Barbera! I did sample their Sauv Blanc too which was nice but it was too cold to have a full pour. Food: Their menu is great with a ton of options from charcuterie, to tapas and some entrees. I will say some of their items can get expensive but definitely worth it. We started with a few cheeses and prosciutto. Then we ordered one of their popular pizzas called La Cantina. Everything was fresh, made in house with their beautiful pizza oven right smack in the middle of the bar. You have got to see this thing, its huge! Overall: If I could give this place 10 stars I would. We had the best time and we can't wait to go back. Franklin is not far from where we live but still a good 30 minute drive and also not far from the Wrentham outlets. We didn't have to make a reservation for a Sunday afternoon but I bet Saturdays can get pretty busy. I just loved everything about this wine bar and I know you will too! Cheers~

No one came to address is for severance minutes and then choose to move to the bar. Here, Alna, the main bartender, greeted us immediately and made us feel welcome. She explained the wine flights and offered a sample of Reisling to my girlfriend, who preferred Moscato, which La Cantina doesn't offer (though no one trait does in New England). Thankfully Alna had a similar palate to that of my girlfriend, and they quickly made a connection. Love that! I chose a flight of reds and ultimately preferred the Clone 8 above those that I tried, thigh the Cab Sav Reserve was a close second. The Drunken Goat cheese sample was delicious too! The menu definitely has us eager to come back for food. And for those who aren't wine drinkers they have a small selection of beer and a cider. The atmosphere is lively and open, and looks like they'd open up the large bar doors on a nice day. Come enjoy a flight, or a glass, you can't go wrong!
