For the cider flight, Funkhouse and Lake Hause Rosé are excellent plant-based picks, though vegans should note the Honeoye blend is made with honey. The staff is friendly and efficient, promptly managing the busy first-come, first-served crowd. Indoors, the space is cozy but tight, making it tough for large groups on rainy days. However, the sprawling outdoor seating (May-October) is fantastic, spacious, and fully wheelchair friendly. With its casual vibe and moderate price point, it's a stellar spot for a relaxed day date or a scenic group outing. Just roll up early since they don't take reservations!

Super cute spot with lots of unique cider options and great cornbread/desserts!…read more We tried the Funkhouse, Sparkling Cab Franc, Fruit of the Bloom, and Persici (in order from dry to sweet). My favorites were the Fruit of the Bloom which is infused with ginger as well as the Funkhouse. I liked how crisp the funkhouse was and I loved the ginger note in fruit of the bloom. The others were okyay too, persici was very sweet but paired nicely with the ginger hazelnut baklava which was incredible! I am allergic to pistachios, so I loved that I could eat their baklava! We also tried the cornbread with strawberry and jalapeno butter- absolutely incredible. I am from the south and have had a lot of cornbread but this truly stands out. It came out warm with a slight crunch from the crust while maintaining the perfect crumb inside. Just crumbly enough and not too try! I also really enjoyed the jalapeno and strawberry butters- you can tell they use high quality butter, they almost reminded me of goat cheese. I preferred the jalapeno butter a tad more but both were great! The exterior is beautiful- the views are very nice. I would highly recommend coming on a warm day and sitting outside. We initially sat on the balcony but moved due to the bees. The tables underneath the white tent were shaded and bee-free. Service was pretty quick- our ciders came out almost immediately. We had to wait ~10-15 minutes for the cornbread though, but I didn't mind especially given it was warm! Overall, I would highly recommend!

Delicious ciders, lovely sunset view. Sandwiches, too…read more South Hill Cider is a nice cidery on 26 acres about 4 miles south of Ithaca NY. They grow apples on 10 acres of the property, and gather "feral" wild apples and apples from abandoned orchards. They have a cidery that brews cider varieties from dry to semi-sweet. They have a tasting room, with ciders on tap, flights, and several craft too beers. They also serve sandwiches and charcuterie boards. There's a terrific view to the west, with some outdoor seating. So we stopped by, chose some delicious ciders, and set up to watch the sunset. We liked the semi-sweet ciders. We also liked the interesting overtones of the ones that included "wild"-sourced apples, some interesting notes i would say were bitter but not overwhelimng. We never tasted so many side by side before. Who knew thwew qas so much variety! It was a lovely serene experience. They have bookable "primitive" campsites, too!

Not only is there a tasting barn that offers flights of ciders, spirits, and bourbon - but there is an apple barn where you can pick up apples without having to go into the orchards, a cafe, a coffee shop, a general store, a playground, wagons consistently taking guests out into the orchard to pick their own apples, a corn maze, a playground for the littles, and so much more. Parking is free but be warned it is in a field and not organized. It was packed, but because there was so much to do, and so well coordinated, it didn't feel overwhelming. Great spot for a fall celebration.

The traditional honey mead had a beautiful, light honey flavor with a little alcoholic kick. I might not drink this straight, but I could think of many ways to blend that beautiful honey flavor into drinks. Then we tried the mead blended into fruit wine. I liked the raspberry blend but blueberry was my favorite. The very clear taste of the fruit was beautiful with the honey notes and you knew it wasn't just a juice drink..the alcohol was there as well. The ciders were a nice surprise taste wise. I'm not a big cider fan, but when I tasted the gold medal winning Strawberry and crisp apple cider it was a win for me. The single fruit choices of all these were selections were wonderful.... sometimes the blending of different fruits leaves to confused tastes for me. Our bartender was very nice and friendly and helpful. It also has a winery Torrey Ridge in the same facility.

We had a very good time in the tap room doing a tasting of several of their hard ciders. Everyone we came in contact with was friendly and we even got to meet the beautiful dog Watson.
