Lake Ontario Tasting Room, Orchard and Production Facility
You’ll be excited to arrive at our facility, located on the shore of Lake Ontario. In our tasting room the friendly, knowledgeable staff will serve you glasses of fresh made orchard to glass cider and/or guide you through a cider tasting; offering anecdotes and suggesting food pairings for our hard ciders. Bring a picnic and eat inside or out or schedule a private orchard tour (must be scheduled ahead of time). We’re approximately one hour from both downtown Buffalo and Rochester, but no matter where you’re from, it’s worth the trip. Come on in for a tasting!
Group Policy
Our cider venues cater to customers interested in enjoying and learning about ciders. As such we invite small groups of guests to visit and enjoy either of our unique cider tasting locations.
When planning a visit to either of our locations, please be aware that our maximum group size is 16 guests. We do not permit the splitting of a group larger than 16 into multiple groups.
Please call 48 hours in advance and make a reservation so we can ensure there is ample room for your party when you arrive.
