Excellent experience at this local cidery!…read more The male owner (??) was soft-spoken, patient, and basically had the perfect flight for our group of 4. It was like he read our minds! He had 9 ciders on tap and they ranged from the standard cidery - just apple - to fruity blends. They also varied from dry to sweeter. The 9 pours worked out to $27 and the glasses were a good size! There were some seating indoors, inside the renovated farmhouse. The majority of the seating is outdoors, on wood picnic tables. Be aware tho 'cause the tables underneath the trees were covered in ants, there was a whiff of cow manure, & cidery is perched overlooking a main road so there are cars whizzing by. So if you don't like these things, best to sit indoors. Highlights for me were "Mint To Be" (tasted like spa water), "Ginspired" (tasted like gin), & "Just Peachy". Like the other reviewers said, it's a drier style cider, but honestly, they were still enjoyable to me and I don't like super dry wines! After we finished our flight, I made a mental note of the ones that I wanted to purchase, but to my disappointment only Crimson Crisp was available in a can. The rest of them were only available in 750mL bottles for ~$20/bottle. So I just ended up buying 1 bottle as opposed to a few cans. I'd say that that was my only complaint. A great stop in Picton if you enjoy ciders!

We enjoyed all of the ciders and chocolates very much and appreciated the unique tasting experience ! The inside is super cute and cozy with an adorable dog greeting everyone.

The vibe is very relaxed (the owners kids were playing in the loft upstairs) and the building is really cool, open and bright. There's and Irish setter dog named Lagen (or something named after a lake in Ireland). Place was busy and there are lots of seating options. The ceramic tasting cups are a cool touch. I liked the bootlegger (which was cider done In rum casks). The unfortunate thing was that we were starving! So we ordered food. Which they forgot to make :( we waited 30 minutes and asked and they admitted they never but the pastie in the oven - so they waived our tasting fee, which was a nice gesture.

The service was wonderful; our waiter was attentive and helpful. He even provided our dog a water bowl. As expected, County Cider has a variety of cider options, from dry to sweet, to chose from. The cider was tasty and refreshing; I especially enjoyed the blood orange flavour, something I've never tried before. We ordered the tacos and pizza to eat. I would probably give the food a 3/5; it was nice to have with the drinks but not amazing. Overall I would highly recommended County Cider!

We came in for a quick tasting of their wines and the hosts are clearly knowledgable about their wines. They offered our large party 4 different wines for tasting at $7 per person, and it comes with a nice discussion on the flavours to be expected and a bit of background about the wines and vineyard. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and it's easy to see why there was quite a bit of traffic at this vineyard. No reservations are necessary but it's best to check with them if you have a very large group. Note that they have very friendly Goldens roaming the fields a bit (they are the "Branch Managers"), definitely adds points to the already 5 star review!

I went back on my way home from Belleville to check out all the varieties. I love cider. It's great seeing cider flavours, such as honey, cranberry apple, pear, and much more. Variety is the spice of life, as the saying seems to go. It's nice in the summer and when you simply want to kick back and enjoy the subtle fruit flavours in your cider. You can taste-test before you decide to buy a particular cider variety. It's nice when you can support a local business and get delicious cider that makes you happy. (337)

Sarah, was friendly, knowledgeable on the process of cider and great with recommendations. The original location has been open for 10 years, with the second location ( The Buffalo Cider Hall) within the last three years. If your into hard cider and looking to try different kinds; recommend the flight of 4. I tried a small size of Lakeside Loganberry,Ghost Lantern, and Redbarn Sweet cider. The original location has 40 acre orchard, tasting room, production and outside sitting area. Their wide variety of flavors are sure to please all. The cider can be found at Wegmans, Consumer Sqaure, their locations to name a few, and they do ship as well. Well worth checking out, for all the cider lovers.

We sat outside even though it was chilly, but many people were outside too! The inside is small, so the outdoor seating is a must. The ciders themselves weren't all to my liking and there is a limited choice, so the flight was kind of hit or miss for me. I think you'd be better off finding one you like and sticking with a full or half pour of that instead. But overall I enjoyed the experience and loved that my pups could hang out with us as well! I'd love to visit again when it's warmer out!

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!

Everyone enjoyed their food and I especially enjoyed their vegetarian pasta dish with garlic butter. This was a special pasta night so the menu was different than usual. The service is different too because there's no servers, you order everything up at the bar but it's huge and the line moves really quick.
