Fantastic cider and food with impressively fast and friendly service! Spectrum of delicious hard ciders to choose from, ranging from dry to sweet, something for every palate. Cider pulled pork sandwich is amazing, a must-try food item. Cherry shrub is nice. Bread pudding for dessert is quite good, especially the whipped cream and cherry sauce!

As a suggestion from a winery, we drove here for a tasting. The exterior is a bit industrial, but the inside warm and inviting. With both indoor and outdoors seating options, patrons can buy glasses or do a tasting of cider. Our favorite was the Rosè. However, we purchased the Pommeau, a delicious after dinner like sherry. Frankie was attentive and helpful as we self guided through your flight. Highly recommended.

Excellent selection of ciders in a gorgeous hilltop setting. We tasted the Premium flight and also a glass of the Farmhouse (my favorite, funky with a snap at the finish). They even have U-Pick flowers. Dogs allowed.

This place is wonderful! If you like hard cider and you are visiting Ithaca, this is a great place to enjoy an outdoor cider with plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the Orchard, flowers, and/or live music!! We weren't impressed with the portions or the selection of food items.

The vibe here is unmatched. There's tons of seating outside and it was dog friendly. The views are incredible and everyone was super nice. I got a sandwich and it was one of the best of my vacation. Highly recommend going here!

We went for the yummy food and the view of the comet. It's a gorgeous location, and the fire pits and flower gardens are great. The food is good but the portions are small and the prices are high.

The menu rotates, but there's always something good! The ciders tend towards dry, but there are options for those who like it sweeter. They have a beautiful tasting room and patio, as well as live music nights.
