    Flight

    We had a great time here! We had a flight of 5 ciders, all on the drier side! Very relaxed, chill atmosphere! The owner made us feel welcome, offered his favorite cider on the house, answering all our questions! We ended up buying a bottle. Would highly recommend to sidetrack from wine tasting when you are in Sonoma!a

    The flight!

    I took myself out to Tilted Shed last Saturday and I had no idea how great it was going to be! Iv had their cider once before because they did a label collaboration with the local artist Velvet Bandit and I stopped by just to picked up a 4 pack. I picked up my order from Pirate. Hes so COOL and knowledgable and kind, we chatted for a long time about local cider. I went back last Sat because I got an email inviting me to their 10 year anniversary party (the tasting room is open Saturdays from 12-5) Me and Jack (my dog) got there around 2 and it was packed. The patio is small and every table was taken. The owners Scott and Ellen were there as well as Pirate and they noticed me come in and set me up a table in the shade and filled a water bowl for Jack. I ordered a flight and everything was delicious. Some dry, some juicy, and all crispy bubbly and delicious. I got emotional reading the thoughtful descriptions of the ciders and where the apples were sourced. These people really care about our community. I picked up another order to take home from Scott and I was so excited to buy the "we are all stardust" because that cider benefits Trans life line. Then I got to meet Ellen who was so genuine and who was busy being the host to everyone. Ellen made sure the patio was comfortable and we all had something to drink even Jack. Thanks for the excellent cider and for taking such good care of our community. I'm a big fan and I'll definitely be back.

    Need a break from the area wineries? Definitely check out Tilted Shed Ciderworks. This place was incredible. Some of the best cider I have tasted. The server was incredibly knowledgeable and extremely passionate about cider. This cidery is family owned and started in 2011. It is the second oldest cidery in Sonoma. They focus on vintage ciders and only use fresh-picked apples for pressing on-site to make their small-batch ciders. Before wine was famous in Sonoma, Gravenstein apples were king! Many of the original orchards were pulled up to plant grapevines. The tasting room is located in a unique warehouse beverage district called Artisan Alley of Windsor. The small tasting room at the front opens up in the back to where the production area and magic happens. We enjoyed a flight and received a free tour of the space.

    Tilted Shed is a welcoming place for all kinds of people.

    We wound up here due to the sudden closure of Sonoma Cider, thanks to a Google Maps search for an alternative. Boy were we glad! These folks know their apples and their craft cider. If you're looking for sugary alco-pop, go to the Safeway. But if you have a curious palate and an open mind, you'll find something here to like. And the owners couldn't be more friendly.

    Our first tasting - well worth a visit.

    You have to check this place out. Great ciders to chose from and the hosts are super nice. Highly recommend.

    I've recently given up beer because I've gone gluten free; and thus I've been drinking cider whenever I'm out and about with friends or my wife. One problem - most of the ciders I've tried tasted like soda pop, they were that sweet! Well, not Tilted Shed ciders! Their ciders are delicious, complex beverages that don't need to overwhelm you with sugar. We tried 5 of their coders, and bought bottles of all five. I'll update this review later with my take in each of the ciders I taster and purchased, but do yourself a favor and stop by Tilted Shed. Scott is a friendly, knowledgeable cider maker, and he our cider tasting experience pleasant. The tasting room is somewhat small, so get here before the word gets out about Tilted Shed!

    Take Bell Road off Conde Lane in Windsor, following signage for the Beverage District and then turn into Artisan Alley... You'll find Tilted Shed Ciderworks open on Saturday afternoons for tasting and chit chat with Scott, Ellen and David: who love their work, invite you to raise your "Cider IQ" and relax in their lovely tasting room. We were there for the first public tasting of limited release Love's Labor (see pic), which was co-fermeted this year with blackberries and elderberries, picked by Scott and Ellen's son Benny. That and the New England Style cider (aged in bourbon barrels) punched my taste card good and proper. David took us back of shop to show us how the cider made its way into bottles and the $10 tasting fee was waived when we made a purchase. These folks love what they do, have a knack for sharing expertise without alienating visitors (which is rare) and the cider itself is ass-kickingly delicious. This was a fine way to hang out on a rainy Saturday afternoon and we hope you get the chance to check out Tilted Shed for yourself.

    Came here last weekend and met in a "tasting" barn. It's so cute as it had both outdoor and indoor…read moretables and chairs, so you can bring a lunch before the tastings. We tasted a variety, but I loved the berry-ish cider. (Sweet and easy to sip) Barn was air conditioned, so it's great to come in during a hot day. As you drive up the small hill, make sure and turn right or else go around and you'll see it. This cidery shares the tasting barn with an aperitif and a wine tasting business, so you can enjoy all three types of beverages while sitting on a stool (just don't fall lol) Ambiance is unpretencious, friendly and casual. I'm a berry lover so I was drawn to that particular one. (First of three ciders) Can't wait to return. Happy libations all !!!

Housed in a big…read moretasting room, you can try four local ciders, a selection of tasty small batch aperitifs, wines, and fill a growler with those ciders too. Note that it's cash and check only as of today although credit cards are coming. Great service. Tasting hours are 12-4 Saturday and Sunday and weekdays by appointment (these hours are not immediately evident on Yelp or their website). I called ahead today (Saturday) to check and they were happy to send someone over for a tasting. We tried all 4 ciders and all 4 aperitifs. I liked the raspberry cider and the semi dry champagne yeast cider as well as the blood orange, strawberry and citrus aperitifs. Their house dog is super cute too. Definitely recommended!

    Such a cute cider stand! Gowan's Ciders are award winning and you can find them in supermarkets…read moreacross SF but we stumbled upon this stop on our way to Mendocino. They specialize in local cider and were kind enough to give us a couple of complimentary tastings. We ended up getting a bottle of the Gravenstein as a souvenir. We heard it's their best selling variety and I can see why. The cider is medium-dry, crisp and refreshing and at 6% abv it's a pretty light drink. I can see it being perfect for a summer day! They also have tasting flights that you can enjoy in their covered tent. Definitely worth a stop along the highway. The staff were super nice and friendly as well!

    This was a fun little pit stop on our way to go camping! Plenty of overhang on a drizzly day, but…read moreyour teeth might chatter throughout the tasting (heaters are only in the covered seated area). We saw a few people "in the know" simply drive up and grab a few ciders to take home. The tasting was pretty good, and you get a lot of bang for your buck (especially if you split one!). Our favorites were the Gravenstein and the non-commercial, wild-fermented cider that was a bonus tasting. I'm still sad I couldn't take that one home since it wasn't bottled! I appreciated knowing where I could purchase Gowan's in the Bay Area. It would be great if they had a little postcard or printed note that I could take home with me!
