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. You can still buy the cider, donuts, ice cream, and more. You also can relax and shop their very cute country store, which sells locally made jams, syrups, mixes, and other foods. 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.

The views are gorgeous of Charlottesville from Carter Mountain. We ordered a half dozen of cider donuts to share amongst the 4 of us, although before we left we ordered another half dozen because they are delicious!! We also tried the peach pie. We shared a half pie amongst the 4 of us and it was enough for everyone to get a fair share. The peaches tasted fresh and the crust is tasty too! Definitely a delicious pie. We also had a cup of ice cream (twist comes with vanilla and peach together). We also had the opportunity to try a couple of flights of cider. They were also tasty. There is a gift shop and lots of picnic tables to sit on. It wasn't a packed day, although there was plenty of parking. The service was good. Overall, it was a beautiful experience! I would definitely recommend.

The tap room is so cozy and welcoming. Many different options for cider. We started with a flight and the bar tender was really helpful in describing options for our selections. Our favorite was the shady grove. I also loved the bird and bee which was bourbon barrel aged cider. Awesome selection! Of note - this bar has cheese plate options and pizza. They welcome dogs and you are able to bring in food delivery if you'd like. Lots of games and cozy seating areas for groups!

It was a short little walk and along the way there were plenty of other places to grab drinks if you're looking for a pub crawl type vibe. However, if you want to just stay here a few hours, I don't think you will be disappointed. I don't drink much; I never cared for the taste of alcohol. When I drink I seek for things that don't really taste like it at all. They let me sample the pineapple upside down cake cider and it was sweet enough to give me an option to enjoy! We met a handsome guy named Benjamin, who said it was his first day on the clock, so we assured him we would give him a hassle to commemorate the occasion. He was super helpful in suggesting a dry cider for her to enjoy! The other employee I spoke to was also super nice. I'm thinking about moving to the area and I asked him about rental prices in the area. He was kind enough to offer some insight! It's a massive location with tons of seating indoors and out. They had a fun, large Jenga game you could play but you could easily bring your own board games in. Oh and they also had dole whip?! Unsure if it was dairy-free friendly as I didn't have any but I thought that was a fun unique quirk of the place. I definitely suggest checking it out! Perfect for a casual but cute date night with a romantic interest or to spend time with friends!

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.

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.

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.
