I've been going here for 4 years because I love cider even though it might not necessarily love me. I've actually taken all my guests here when they're visiting to show them the flavor of Old Leesburg. Very chill and intimate without being fussy. It's definitely a local favorite for a reason. My favorite cider is the Hatch but I like to try the seasonal offerings and they never disappoint. The price point is awesome for the quality and amount of cider in a glass. Check them out! read more

Cool spot to spend a few hours! My husband and I each ordered a flight. I tried the hatch, pink lemonade, and dockside ciders and liked them all! The ciders rotate so you'll have to return to try new flavors. Overall a cool place to chill. They have board games you can borrow, or you can bring your own! read more

Not bad. Service was friendly and the cider flight was a nice experience. Low rating due to lack of accessibility. It is SUPER small and tight in here. Anyone with a mobility device would do well to plan their visit in advance/have someone scope it out to make sure you have room to maneuver. read more

Great location for a chill evening! Came here with a few friends, and we split 2 flights. Here is our review of the current draft list: 1. Hatch- Classic cider. Tasted fine, not too sweet, not too dry. 2. Fire Belly- Mango Habanero cider. This was all of our favorite. The habanero is prominent, but not so intense that it takes over the taste. 3. Crispy- Granny smith vibe. A nice twist on a classic apple flavor. 4. Scones- Blueberry-vanilla flavored cider. Notes of lemon too. Very sour beer-esque, but in a good way! Flavors were subtle, but mixed well. 5. Coba- This was another one of our favorites. It's their pineapple-coconut cider. The initial taste is similar to a lite beer, but the aftertaste has the pina-colada. 6. Chute- Tastes like a cherry sour. A bit sweeter. Very enjoyable! The staff was very helpful and friendly, and each flight was only $13 a piece. Would definitely come again, and look forward to trying their new flavors as they come out! read more

My husband and I stopped by here on a late Sat afternoon for a tasting. We chose the Hatch, Willow, and Bloom (seasonal) and sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. Our favorite by far was the Bloom. We were excited to learn that Wild Hare has trivia night on the 2nd and 4th Wed of the month and can't wait to check it out! The location is great (near Firework pizza and lots of other delicious smelling restaurants). read more

So much fun! What a historic little gem! It's an 1840s log cabin, folks. It doesn't get much cooler than that. Plenty of nuanced ciders on tap, and many options available are dry. I liked everything I tried in my flight. They have a fireplace filled with games, which really occupied my kiddos while we hung out. There's a bathroom, too, which I think is kind of rare for 1840, so perhaps it was added after the fact like the cider taps ;) Because of its location near all the other businesses in Market Station (the big boardwalk thingie that houses Tuskies downtown) plenty of places deliver food right to you! We got pizza from Fire Works without even having to get up. Cider and a pizza in an 1840s log cabin? Now that's my kinda Saturday. read more

Such a cute location - tons of outdoor seating and options for takeaway. The parking is right across the street and there is no cost! They are also right next door to a brewery so if cider isn't your thing but beer is - there are options for all the draught lovers in your life. They experiment with tons of fun flavors so it's not your ordinary cider - they have the classic (Hatch) and then they have mango infused and also holiday specialties like the Uncle O'Grimacy for St.Patrick's day which has mint, vanilla, and sugar and is surprisingly delicious!!! Stop by to try some on their L shaped deck which has plenty of sunshine and seating or drop by foe a Growler ($30) or large bottle ($18) All great options and while you're there remember you're supporting local and that makes all the difference!! read more

Located in a 19th century log cabin in Leesburg is a local hard cidery. They have a small indoor space with high tables, a restroom and a section of board games. You can order their ciders on tap or order a tasting. My wife and I ordered a tasting of all six and enjoyed them. Each cider was unique and ranged from more sweet to dry. They even have a spicy one! Since the pandemic is still going on, we sat on their spacious outdoor patio. read more

From the second we walked in, we received friendly service. The bar tender was knowledgeable and explained the different beverages on tap. The inside is small, rustic and clean. Music played and the vibe was chill. This would be a great place for a date. It's quiet and they have games to play while you sip coder and mead! Several high top tables with bar stools and two regular tables. Probably not good for a large crowd, but for a group of 2-6 this would be a fun spot to grab a brew! Pro tip - they allow dogs INSIDE! read more

I really liked the cider here (not super sweet) and it's a cute little cabin but the vibes were...off.

However, he was very nice and provided good service when we needed it. They have outdoor seating and games which I is always a plus. read more

Deliciousness - 4.5 Happiness - 5/5 This small cidery leaves a big impact! First off, I didn't even like hard cider.... until this place. With various varieties of cider, there's something for everyone (even cider naysayers like myself). My wife imbibed a number of spicy ciders while I took a shine to a honey-based one that eased the tartness I typically dislike in these beverages. They also had plenty of other fruity profiles (pomegranate was the most adventurous one I tasted). The venue is also really cool. It's located in a small historic cabin, so be prepared to share a table and get cozy with your neighbors. Which actually led to a real good time as they have plenty of card and board games available. We ended up meeting 6 other people and getting a good Uno tourney going - with everyone taking a turn to buy a round. Overall, this was a real fun place to experience. Come for the drinks, and stay for the camaraderie. read more

What a pleasant surprise. Hidden at the back of the Tuscarora complex this cosy log cabin now hosts the Wild Hare Hard Cider Cabin. Dog friendly inside and out, we were sold even before we stepped in with Scout, our Welsh Terrier! What used to be a quaint doll shop is now home to a very social hard cider establishment. The feeling as you walk in is very warm and welcoming, complementing the log cabin with adequate contemporary materials and design. The drinks are very exquisite flavors, such as ginger and lime peel, hopscotch, mango habanero, and more. You can get them by the glass, try a sample flight of three or buy a bottle. Pastry from Dolce and Gabana, South Street Under, and Nordic Knot pretzel is available on different days. Great addition to the Leesburg culinary landscape! Posting this after after drinking beer at the Crooked Run opposite, and a flight of hard cider here, so apology for any typos , but we're very happy! read more

Great cidery in Leesburg. Came through in a Sunday afternoon around three looking for some drinks and food. We loved the look of this small shop, it's cabin like and comfortable. My husband and I both ordered flights of different ciders. I felt like the pours were generous for tastes. The cider at wild hare is on the drier side, which we like. Only one of the ciders on tap that day was lightly sweet, which was a nice change. Overall we found each of the ciders good though in the end I liked the lightly sweet one the best. There was also one with grapefruit scent that was tasty. For food, there was a man just outside with a table set up with three items to pick from. We were super hungry so we ended up getting one of each they were beef sliders-which my husband enjoyed, pork tacos- which I found to be perfection in taco and some bacon macaroni &cheese-which was delicious. Bottom Line: Would definitely return for cider and a meal! read more

I really enjoyed this place, it's cozy and the seating areas is clean. The bathroom (I'm told) is super small, so if you're a big guy, don't go in. LOL. As for the cider, really like this place! We tried the Hopscotch, Galaxy, Hatch, and Saxby. We enjoyed all of them. My personal favorite is the Hopscotch since it had a meade flavor to it as well as cider. The saddest part is I wanted to get some to go but they ran out of the cans. I also liked to buy a glass from the cidery or winery I visited, but sadly they do not sell their glass for me to take home as souvenir. Which is another minus in my book. Hopefully they will consider selling the glass one day. read more

A small ancient rustic cabin with a tiny bar indoors and lots of outdoor seating. Ambience is casual and relaxed. The bartender is friendly and knowledgeable. We had starter flights of everything and it was a great time. Flavors range from traditional sharp crisp classic to more inventive flavors with ginger and lime thrown in. Very moderate pricing. Food was nonexistent but we ordered out strombolis. I'll visit again. read more

They are open! Look for the sign along the road and down that driveway. The little tasting room is located on the right and there is random parking at the end of the driveway in the back. We caught the guys in action, in the middle of labeling their bottles. It's a small tasting room with a few picnic-style benches. There were several great ciders, dry, not too sweet and easy to drink. Their wild hare logo and shirts are super cute and appealing too. read more

First time here. One of many breweries in the area. Worth the stop. Nice cozy little spot. If you want a break from what's happening outside walk in and have a seat. They have a good number of table games for you play with friends. Very welcoming, and friendly staff. We did a four beer flight consisting of Coba, Willow, Ramble, and Docksider. In my opinion all smooth drinks and nothing overwhelming. Recommend stopping in if in the area. read more

Be sure to stop in and buy a few ciders. read more

I wanted to love this place because not only do I love ciders, but the photos from other reviewers seemed like a cute, spacious outdoor spot to sit around and enjoy some drinks. My first impression of the place was that it's very small, especially on the inside where there was a relatively large group of people sitting at the tables and being very loud. Volume doesn't bother me at all but just want to point out they're shouting, speaking loudly - spit is probably flying around (you get my point with COVID lol) I did feel uncomfortable being in such a small space with that many people (and I've been comfortable dining indoors) but whatever - I was only inside for a few minutes to place my drink order and head out. Main issue with my experience was that they were pretty much out of every cider I wanted to try off their menu. They were even out of half of the ciders they had on display as their specials for that particular day. I also wanted to get a flight of ciders in their wild hare glasses (as depicted in many Yelp photos here) but the bartender told me they weren't allowed to serve flights..... even though the table next to me had a flight with the same glasses. I don't know, maybe there is a valid reason for this but he could've conveyed that to me better since I did see other people with them at the same time I was there (he also had a bunch of glasses and flight boards right behind him so it wasn't due to a shortage) I initially wanted to give this place a 3 star review, but I'm going with 4 because the bartender was very nice and the few ciders I did get to try were very good (my favorite was the Bloom) . I'll probably try this place again at some point in the future and hopefully on a better day! read more

Made our first visit last night. First off we are beer and wine folks and have generally stayed clear of the cider scene out of the assumption that everything would be too sweet. That's not the case here. Most of the ciders we tried were dry and complex in both flavor and bouquet. We tried all their offerings, but these stood out: Hatch: dry cider that crisp and tart. Very simple, but in a right proper way. Hopscotch: they dry hopped this with Citra. It has nice citrus notes without hitting you over the head like an imperial double IPA. Windrush: aged in oak and chestnut staves. Nice and woodsy. Notes like a Chardonnay that has been in French Oak, but isn't super buttery. The tasting room is a wonderful long cabin looking room within Market Station right next to Crooked Run Brewing. Bonus that night: Georges Mill Farm Artisan Cheese was on site doing a cheese tasting. They are awesome and it was fun trying the combo of cheese and cider. Net/net Wild Hare is a great add to Leesburg and certainly worth checking out if you are already visiting Tuskies, South Street Under, Crooked Run, or Fire Works Pizza. read more

Disclaimer: I haven't been to many cideries and I'm not cider connoisseur but I enjoy cider and I wanted some place to relax and enjoy an adult beverage that wasn't a winery. This one is located in a cute shopping center. They have some snacks you can buy (I can't drink on an empty stomach) but because it was the weekend between Christmas and New Years they didn't have pretzels (boo), and the only other two options was ciabatta with dip or brownie. Got a flight of 3, you can choose your three: Ophelia, Willow, and Sax. The flavors were light and they are on the dry side, not very sweet. I like the Ophelia the best. The cider was OK, the ambiance was nice, and the location is right in downtime Leesburg. I would go back but will also try other cideries in NoVA. read more

I wish I could like this ciders more than 3 stars. The CIDERS are VERY DRY - they only contain 0.4 - 0.6% residual sugar compared to at least 5% that Angry Orchard or Woodchuck contain. The ciders are very tart. Despite the menu, there were 5 tastings. I got a glass of the ginger cider and could only drink a few sips. The service was super friendly and knowledgeable. If you are into dry ciders - then I recommend otherwise go down the road to Catoctin Distillery for some juicy cocktails. read more

I'm not especially a cider guy, but it's still a form of booze thus I must sample it. Overall I'm glad I did. Their ciders trend towards the dry side, which is my preference as well. They have a tiny hole on the wall serving room; not exactly a picnic location but they do have a table you can sit down at. What I tried: Hopscotch: Smelled like hop & grapefruit, tasted like apple. My favorite of the bunch Rocket: 2% residual sugar, heavy nose and lots of apple on the palate. Hatch: Very dry, little tart. Windrush: Describe like a 'chardonnay' although I'm not quite sure how that is. Not bad but not my favorite. Olphelia: Grapefruit nose, very creamy palate. Harvest Moon: Tasted of hibiscus and juniper. It was...odd to me. I didn't dislike it but it was definitely one of those drinks which a one-off. Rebelry: Color of strawberry but infused with black pepper, honeysuckle and cherry mash. Just OK; definitely least favorite. read more

A delightful surprise for us when we went to FireWorks Pizza. Their ciders tend towards the sweeter side. I'm more of a dry, funky cider girl, myself, but all the flavors they have in their cider- fermented ginger, lime, hops, grapefruit, oak just to name a few)- are so tasty that I don't mind. All of their ciders are fermented in stainless steel. Their Coppertail is then aged in Catoctin Creek barely, which makes my mouth water just to hear about it. We bought a mixed pack of their more dry ciders (Hatch, Ophelia, Willow, Chute) and also a re-usable stainless steel, vacuum top growler (they have classic glass ones, too). We filled ours with Saxby cider- which is a fermented ginger and lime cider. This one is deceptive: yes, it's sweet for a cider (for me) but as a ginger beer, it's just right! I thought of it as an apple-sweetened lime and ginger beer and it was great with my pizza and stuffed jalapeño dinner from FireWorks around the corner. Ben was behind the bar is patient and knowledgeable, and the ambiance is very comfy: all wood and no pretense. I'd love hanging out there some time in the (corona-free) future. Also, there's a whole outdoor area, which I believe is shared with the brewery next door. Looks like a good time! read more

Wild Hare is a must stop on your next visit to Leesburg! We stumbled upon this micro-cidery after a nice bike ride on the nearby W&OD trail. We arrived Saturday mid-afternoon and immediately appreciated the large bike rack outside the tasting room for us to lock up our bikes. Once inside, friendly staff members gave us a quick spiel on how the cider is made and the history of the cidery. Cider is available by the glass or you can choose to do a flight of three ciders for $12. I chose to do the flight and received generous tasting portions of Hatch, Hopscotch, and Willow. One should know that the ciders are all on the dry side--this isn't like Angry Orchard or another sweet grocery store cider. My favorite was the Willow, which had notes of blueberry and raspberry. After a ride in the summer heat, we were very hungry and decided to try some of the food options. Reading the Yelp reviews, I figured it would be best to try the pretzels​ everyone was raving over. While they weren't warm, they were very buttery and delicious! We ended up ordering two more! They were the perfect snack to pair with a nice, refreshing cider. I wanted to try the Conche Chocolate Covered Bacon that was listed on the menu, but they did not have it the day we visited. Wild Hare has both indoor and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the tables were taken out in the front, but if we wanted, we could have sat on the many stools that line the patio. We enjoyed sitting at a long table inside the air-conditioned​ tasting room. At the end of our tasting, we bought a bottle of cider to bring to a dinner party later that night--it was a hit! For any DC area cider enthusiasts, Wild Hare is well worth the trek out to Loudoun County. read more

A group of three of us visited last Saturday. It was a rainy, gloomy day - perfect for sampling craft ciders! They had six ciders to sample that day - and so we tried them all: - Hatch - Windrush - Hopscotch - Rocket - Revelry - Ophelia Americans are so used to commercial ciders that are loaded with extra sugar and overly sweet. That is NOT what you will experience here. All of the ciders we sampled were crisp, tart, dry - almost like drinking a sparking wine or champagne. I like ciders like that - you are really tasting more of the Apples. And speaking of Apples - Wild Hare uses Virginia grown apples for their ciders. I like that - locally grown Apples for locally brewed cider! I enjoyed 5 of the 6 ciders - and the Hopscotch was my favorite. It actually has Hops in it - as in Hops used in brewing beer. It's a well executed usage - it does not detract from the cider or get in the way of the Apples, in fact I felt like it enhanced the overall flavor profile of the cider. The only cider that did not resonate with my palate was the Ophelia. There was a citrus aspect to it that was at odds with my taste buds. The young lady pouring our ciders was very knowledgable and friendly and answered all of our questions. Great place to come and try out Virginia ciders! read more

The scene is Labor Day, after having a not so great experience with both a winery AND a brewery up the street, we saw a sign that said: Wild Hare Hard Cider-Open. 4 of us walk in to a big hearty hello and a refreshing smile asking us if we want to try some cider. Somehow I walk away $100 poorer with 6 bottles of cider and a shirt, and I don't even usually like cider! That's exactly what happened yesterday and I am 100% OK with it! :) WHHC is a small store front with moving walls, minimalistic decor, a large rabbit mascot, a fantastic product, and great employees. The Bluemont area is lucky to have them! read more

I follow Wild Hare on facebook and they have different ciders every weekend and they all sound wonderful, so for my birthday weekend, with the weather being a little iffy, I decided it was time to drive out to Leesburg. I shared a flight of every cider with my bf, and I really liked 80% of them. Even the ciders that weren't my favorite were still pretty good. None of them were too sweet and they have really interesting ingredients and combinations. Bought a 4 pack of the Docksider, kind of like a margarita cider, but wishing I had bought more and I'm even considering joining their cider club. read more

First off, the cider is banging. I'm talking dry, tart, earthy and a little funky banging - the way cider should be. If you're into sour beer or kombucha, you'll love this cider. If you like Angry Orchard, this probably isn't the cider for you. Harvest Moon, a seasonal cider with juniper, is one of my favorites. I've been to the tasting room twice and have had a great time on both visits. The new spot at Market Station is very cool; it's small, but feels like you're in a log cabin. Overall, the aesthetic and ambiance match the earthiness of the product being served. Definitely a must visit! read more

Cute little cidery in the middle of Leesburg! Right across the street from Crooked Run Brewery, Wild Hare has a very rural feel to it, like a quaint log cabin transported to a modern town. There is a small patio and a single room downstairs, as well as an upstairs that was hosting a bridal shower when we visited. It is simply decorated and has only a few tables, a bar, and a stone fireplace. I tasted the Hatch cider and quite enjoyed it, as it was very dry and crisp and not at all overly sweet like some other ciders. I could see this being a good place to bring a date or an intimate group of friends. read more

I visited Wild Hare for the first time when I was in the Leesburg area a few weeks ago. I didn't know what to expect as I hadn't been to many ciderys, but it a really cute establishment. Its not a huge space, but there are plenty of tables and chairs if you want to hang out. I also really appreciated that they had a great assortment of games! If you come with a group it makes it really easy to enjoy and spend time here. There isn't a hugeeee selection of cider, but the flavors they had were unique and really intrigued me. I wanted to try the jalapeño cider but I was informed that they had run out of it. I ended up getting the pumpkin spice cider like a basic b, but really enjoyed it! I was so surprised they they could make a hard cider taste so refreshing with the pumpkin spice flavors! I've officially added Wild Hare to my list of places to grab a chill drank and hang! read more

What a lovely spot I believe we were served by the owner m, and it was one of the few places open on a bad icy snowy day. I like ciders but they actually specialize in dry ciders so they weren't too sweet and I was with my boyfriend who hates ciders and he actually enjoyed them! It's small inside and they have a little outdoor area which is probably great when it's warm and they have boardgames inside so it's a whole vibe there's a brewery right next-door so I would definitely make an afternoon out of it and hit the cidery and the brewery and then there's a pizza place and Mexican restaurant also nearby less than a two minute walk. read more

I went to Wild Hare Cider on 7/9/16 with a group of 9 people. I had called ahead and been told to arrive either earlier or later in the day so they could accommodate our group (we arrived an hour before they closed). Wild Hare Cider is similar to a wine tasting experience in the fact that you receive a tasting of all of their ciders. However, it is slightly different in atmosphere. The tasting room is small. They do offer a large picnic table for larger groups. It's no frills (e.g. no live music and/or a kitchen where you can order food) and frankly our group (who had been to 2 vineyards before coming to Wild Hare Cider) really seemed to enjoy it. (The most bottles bought on that day were from Wild Hare Cider and not the 2 other vineyards we had visited.) The gentlemen who did our tasting friendly and professional at the same time. He was more than happy to pet the puppy we brought with us. He also had some good suggestions in taking a group picture when we had completed our tasting. If you insist on bringing children to on your tasting experience(s). I would not recommend Wild Hare Cider. It does not have a lot of outdoor space for your kids to run around and frankly the tasting room is small (someone running around the space could potentially cause a problem). In a nutshell, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wild Hare Cider as part of the tasting experience you have in this part of VA. read more

This is what all ciders should taste like -- closer to wine than liquid sugar. We did tastings of Hatch, Windrush, Hopscotch, Rocket, Saxby, and Coppertail. Sabxy was the winner for me. I just swoon over anything that tastes of ginger. Nina really enjoyed Coppertail, their still barrel aged selection. We even took a bottle home with us for a friend. A word to the wise: if your idea of good cider is Redd's, please don't come here. You'll be sorely disappointed. They specialize in dry, complex ciders. The absolutely best part of our experience was Sarah, our tasting guide. Oh my goodness, this girl is the definition of sparkling personality. We both highly enjoyed her knowledge and company. Wild Hare far exceeded my expectations. read more
