We tried their 10 ounce flight with 5 different ciders and our favourite was the blackberry cider. We bought a litre bottle for $10 and our cider flight was $12. The food is reasonably priced and this would be a great stop when going up to or coming back from Collingwood. The service was fantastic and all the employees went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. The ambiance was really nice with green grass, music and picnic tables with umbrellas. Would I recommend it? Absolutely

I recently spent a lovely afternoon at Duntroon Cyder House, a four-season destination in Simcoe…read moreCounty offering cider flights and snacks in a beautiful outdoor oasis. I sampled their entire range which included nine ciders, including a couple of new ones like "Sumac" which gets its lovely colour from local sumac, iced cider as well as their non-alcoholic spiced warm apple cider. All of their ciders are made from Duntroon Parish and Ontario heritage hand-picked apples and are sulphite-free, gluten-free and vegan. They also have a menu of small plates that changes seasonally. During our visit we enjoyed charcuterie, locally made empanadas with nachos and dips as well as the tastiest popcorn topped with garlic seasoning made with garlic grown on the farm. They offer something for the whole family, including your furry friends! From food pop-up events, to live music, to vendor markets, there is rarely a dull moment on the farm. I mentioned that they are a four season destination and one of the highlights of my summer last year was their seafood boil evening. Since my most recent visit was at the tail end of the winter season, they still had their "Winter Utopia" set up which included fireplaces, a dome, and you could still see the signage from their winter snowshoeing trails. I can't wait to see what they have in store for this summer! Inside, among the shelves and fridges, you'll find some of the best local and seasonal products the community has to offer. Black garlic from the farm, Cabin Kitchen ready made meals, Blue Mountain Tea Co. tea, Loco Por El Asado empanadas, Mother Butter shortbread, fresh eggs, local meats and cheeses were just a few of the items they had in stock during this visit.

I highly recommend stopping here for some Ciders. The garlic parm fries were also tasty, and the store had some good stuff in it. Can't wait to take my wife here, the vibes are excellent.

We dropped by and enjoyed tacos and drinks as well as the local live music duo that was playing! It was busy and full of friendly locals. There is a good selection of beers - around a dozen sours and ales - and 4 seltzer flavours. You can try the ones on tap before deciding. Plus they have a flight option if you want to have several at once! After enjoying our time there we bought a 6 pack of different drinks to go. Definitely recommend this place!

The wine and service here are always over the top, and the dinner menu DID NOT disappoint.

Outside, gentle breeze, warm but not hot, quiet and peaceful. A birthday dinner turned into a fantastic and memorable evening!

We already had plenty of cheese and had dinner later, so we only tried their soup. Hot soup is extra tasty when you're outside in the cooler weather!

We were looking for somewhere we could sit and work off our laptops for some hours and the café had ample seats and stable wifi. There's a bar area as well so you could go for an afternoon buzz. They seemed to have interesting options on the menu ranging from sandwiches to other small or shareable dishes. Read somewhere bread was from the Collingwood Bread Company. I always enjoy locally made baked goods. Latte and matcha latte were solid. Stole a bite of the smoked trout sandwich - if you love one of those smoked salmon creamy tangy spread sandwiches this is definitely a good one. Pictures not taken are the grilled cheese and cheese scone. Smoked cheese was used in the grilled cheese sandwich. I enjoy all kinds of cheeses so I was pleased with the smoky kick. Cheese scone was not heated up properly and somehow the cheese, despite looking like a typical golden cheddar, was not flavourful at all. Dough base of the scone lacked the buttery, flaky texture. I'd say skip it. Hm honestly this place deserves more reviews.
