Did a quick search in the area on Yelp, and was pleased to find a place that featured cider…read more Finding places that feature cider is a challenge, especially in LA/Ventura County. We stopped in to check out this new place to us and found out that this establishment has been open for approximately 12 years as a winery. And several years ago they got into making ciders! This place is primarily a winery with a spin off of a cidery where they feature approximately 5 ciders on tap. Plus they have ciders in bottles that you can take away. They had one apple cider and several other flavors. As I am a traditionalist when it comes to cider, I stick to the apple cider! It was good but definitely on the sweeter side! I prefer dry ciders! Ciders cost 11 dollars a glass. They have take away bottles of ciders too! Nice item to take to the beach! If you are not a cider fan or prefer wine, they have an extensive menu of wine! The winery/cidery does have a comfy location to kick back within a small space! They have nice comfy seats plus larger communal tables! They also have a venue space where they have their wine barrels! Looks like a nice space to do an event! We appreciate the great hospitality! Thanks Tyler for the intro to this establishment!

I was super excited to find this place as I've been looking for a good cidery but was super…read moredisappointed in it. The location itself is nice - it's beautifully decorated with plenty of seating options. They had live music while we were there, which was super fun. We sat far enough away that we could still hold a conversation while listening to the music. They also offer food items, such as pizza and charcuterie, which is a plus - always nice to have food while doing a tasting. They offer flight options of five ciders. They explained that the first cider in the flight (I believe it was the sour apple) was the base for all their ciders. The problem was that I didn't like that first cider at all, so it was a lost cause for all the other ciders on the flight as well. It sounds like other people really like their cider, but for me, this one was a loss. They're also part of Four Brix Winery, so if you're not a cider fan, you can also order a glass of wine or try their wine flight. Overall, it was a nice experience between the music and time spent with friends, but I wouldn't return because I wasn't a fan of their ciders.

Holy hole in the wall!!! This little cider brewery packs a…read moreHUGE punch! At first we thought we we're in the wrong place because it is just a small little set up in an industrial Park. There was one roller door open and a small self-made bar with only a couple people sitting at it. We took our chances, stepped out of our car and went to inquire if we were in the right place for a cider tasting. The owner/bartender was very enthusiastic and welcomed us in! We were then treated to a tasting of approximately 10 different ciders, all handcrafted by the owner and his partner themselves. There's a story behind each cider, and the owner took the time to explain the stories, converse with us and laugh with us. It was beyond a pleasant experience. And the ciders were nothing short of phenomenal!

Back Patio Cellars feels like you've just meandered into Frank & Jen's backyard, and they invite you to stay awhile to try some cider/wine. This is definitely their passion project, and it shows in how they talk about their ciders/wine and enjoy sharing with people. It's located in a business park where they have what seems like a traditional tasting room with a few tables, a "living room" with comfortable seats and a couch surrounded by their barrels, and a "patio" outside with covered seating. We opted for a cider tasting, and as someone who was a little wary, because I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I was so excited to hear that their style is on the drier side. These hard ciders are dangerously good... refreshing, delicately flavored, and you wouldn't even know that they're packed with a high ABV. We tried the Apple, Black Berry Pie, Golden Kiwi, Guava, Blood Orange, and Key Lime. My favorite was the guava and my SO's was the Black Berry Pie. These are perfect for warm weather, and you can even take cans or growlers to go! As for food, there are some snacks available for purchase, and folks are welcome to bring their own snacks (uh, charcuterie plate, anyone?) except when there's a food truck. Jen mentioned that they don't have a cider club just yet, but they do have a wine club. We're definitely planning on coming back for a wine tasting very soon, see ya there!

Plus they always have a rotating list of ciders. Great to see what's on tap every time I visit! When visiting this cidery they sometimes have entertainment. We visited on a Saturday night and were treated by a guitarist. He entertained us for several hours with a smile. Plus we always appreciate the games available! This cidery is hidden a bit. Located in Goleta in an industrial park behind a paint store. Sign on the street leads the path to the Santa Barbara Cider Company.

Super disappointed. Was out camping looking for a local cider company to support. Found this place…read more Drove over 30 minutes from campsite to find the place basically abandoned. Checked the times 5-9 says it's open on Thursdays, gate was closed and locked. Tried calling to see if they moved or different hours, kept ringing no answer. I love ciders and was really looking forward to drinking some here. Don't make my mistake, call beforehand even though it says open everywhere, if they don't answer or it says "user busy". Err on the side of caution and go somewhere else.

I tend to steer away from cider beers because they can be soooo sweet and I just feel gross after drinking them. The guava cider from here did NOT do that. At almost 7% alcohol, this stuff would be dangerous on a hot summer day because it's truly so light, crisp, and perfectly sweet - one would definitely down way too many without noticing lol. I can't wait to try some of their other stuff!
