There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Do know it can get packed on weekends so outdoor seating can be harder to come by. The Cidery overlooks a huge field below that is good for kids and pets to run around. They have a huge selection of cider. They also offer a cider that you can only get at the taproom. We recently went on Mother's Day and they were doing a cute brunch and giving out free carnations. I enjoyed their classic cider and exclusive one. They have a pretty big food menu which is nice. The food is good for what it is. My group really liked the pretzels. I'd recommending stopping by.

Peaceful location but cider is hit-or-miss. We visited Bryant's Cidery & Brewery on a Saturday…read moreafternoon, and it was mostly empty. The location is isolated in a lush valley. Country music played for the duration of our visit (either from the performance artist on stage or from the speakers). I tried five different ciders and only enjoyed drinking one of the five. At the time of my visit, none of the beer that they typically offer was available. Overall, I would recommend Bryant's Cidery & Brewery for the lovely location but not for the cider.

He made some suggestions and let my husband taste a few things before he decided to do their current flight which was March-madness themed and you got to vote on your favorite of the four.

On a quiet week day in the spring, we were able to enjoy the steep drive up the mountain and the views that greeted us without lots of people and cars coming and going.

They also have lovely dish towels and many other such gift items. We recommend going both in the fall to be part of the festivities as well as in the spring and summer.

We bought three bottles total. The lady helping us with the tastings was super awesome and friendly. There was one guy singing country music solo who I really liked. He did a great job (wish I remembered his name!). The view was pretty good too, and we ended up sitting there for probably an hour or two, drank a whole bottle, and took two more to go. Overall everything was good and we had a fantastic afternoon! The only weird part was when another lady came up behind the one helping us and said "no more tasting" right in the middle of it. We'd only tasted three wines (sharing the samples), and we ended up buying bottles of those -- but my wife wanted to try something bold/rich red too. The interruption stopped us short, so she wasn't happy about it and it kind of threw Lili off. Honestly though, it didn't ruin our day at all, the bottle a we bought were good. Still highly recommend - great spot, great wines, and we'll definitely go back when we're in the area as my wife loves winerys!

My friend took me to this cute cidery when I was visiting Charlottesville in July…read more We parked in the grass lot and grabbed our drinks inside and went outside. The inside wasn't very decorated, and didn't have that many seats. It seemed a bit bare. I wanted to get the frozen drink, but they said they had run out. Outside had a few more seats, but our stay was cut short by some bees that were very interested in my drink, purse, and my friend's face. I might have to give it another try but it was just an average experience for me.

I've never been here when the weather was nice enough to let us enjoy the full setting, which is…read morethe only reason its getting docked a star. There is very limited seating in the indoor wine bar--two small tables is just about it. If they don't have a wedding or other event, the large barn-like event space is open with seating, but its cool and drafty so if you're hiding from the weather it is not ideal. They have a very small food menu and offer a rotating menu of cider flights and cocktails. Generally, ciders are quite dry, not at all like angry orchard or redd's (for comparison). The cocktails are fun and creative. I loved having the option for a hot drink in late December. At some point, I'd love to be able to come when the weather is beautiful and can take advantage of their outdoor wine bar, fire pits, and view. Ample parking, though as you follow the road up to the winery, you move from gravel to packed dirt. Parking can get quite muddy as it is just grass/dirt, and there can be some deep tracks left from cars in previous weather. Definitely not a reason to skip this place, but something that we noticed as we were coming/going since we were in a very small car.
