CLEAN & CRISP!! ORGANIC TOO!!…read more Came here on labor day weekend. Owner is a 1 man brewing company. Knows his product well. Wife and I had a one on one tasting with him. Great experience! Be prepared to get drunk because he gives plenty of ciders, wine, and hard liquor. We were able to bring in outside snacks which helped. Great conversationalist. Organically brewed, clean and crisp product.

He shared several of his ciders with us, and upon hearing of our interest in some wine varietals, offered us some wines he had made.

While I've been to cider taprooms before, I've never been to a dedicated cider shop featuring such a wide breadth of ciders. The selection was incredible! Pomme carries local ciders from Sebastopol, as well as from New York, North Carolina, Spain, etc. My friends ordered a cider flight, which is a fun option if you're having trouble deciding which cider to order. And as a tinned fish lover, I was thrilled to see such a wide assortment of colorful tins. Cider pairs well with tinned fish, so of course I had to buy a few tins and a bottle of cider to-go. ;) Overall, this is such a cute place to grab a drink. The interior is modern, yet cozy, and the bathroom is a total vibe! The guy who helped us was hilarious, and you could tell he was knowledgeable about both cider and tinned fish. Such a fun addition to Sonoma Plaza!!

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!

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!

We started off with two ciders and they threw in a rosé, and then we ended with a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot noir.

It's what definitely keeps my interest going. For ACE I had their Joker dry cider. What makes up this cider is double fermented apple juice made with champagne yeast.

Very casual experience. To preface, we're not big cider fans, but we're trying to branch out to try new things. Cider flight (4oz x 3) was $15, and included gravitude, which seems to be their staple, nehou, and persimmon (which is only available in house seasonally). As we dropped by on a whim, I didn't know their ciders are dry, but the host told us that at the start. Regardless, we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked the dry ciders. They were quite refreshing, particularly the persimmon one. You can taste the sweet persimmon undertones. Of course, we liked the one that was seasonal and only available in the tasting room! Apparently, they make other flavors in different seasons. Our host teased us with watermelon in the summer as a previous flavor, so I will eagerly await that for my next visit.
