OUR TASTING LOUNGE

Where stories are shared 

Our brand new tasting lounge  and cafe is all about celebrating the land, the cider, and the stories behind them. 
 

Please note we are currently operating as first come, first serve & only take reservations for special events. 

Our cidery is on agricultural land, which means we must follow the set of rules and regulations for the Agricultural Land Commission. Legally, a restaurant on ALR is not allowed. This means our Tasting Lounge offers bar service and we do not bring liquor to tables. We can however, bartend and serve cafe-style food offerings. We strive to give the best service possible within these limits. We hope your visit is a great one!
