    Rootwood.
    Trista H.

    My daughter loves cider so we stopped into Rootwood while staying in Chelan. Plentiful, free parking can be found in the lot. Credit cards are accepted forms of payment. Shaded and unshaded outdoor seating in available. Indoors is small but comfortable. Rootwood offers club options as well as to-go cider in bottles and crowlers. Rootwood swag can be purchased. Food options are narrow. During our visit we each built a flight for $12; 3 cider samples. If a full bottle of cider is purchased, the $12 flight fee is applied towards the bottle price. Admittedly, I'm not a cider fan; however, Rootwood was a fun stop and the staff was pleasant.

    We love Rootwood so much we joined the club! The outside seating is great, you sit in gazebos outside with fire pits in the winter. The cider isn't too sweet and there are so many great flavors to try. We love coming to visit when we are in town.

    This was one of my favorite spots I visited in the Chelan area! All of the ciders were incredible and totally different from ones I've tried in the past. The ghost pepper one was my favorite even though I'm not usually one for spicy. Reid served us and was amazing! He was knowledgeable, funny, and helped us figure out which ciders to try. We sat outside at a fire table and it was so fun! We kept warm in the snow, and Reid even brought us blankets. The cheese plate was generous and full of great snacks! It was great for 4 people, but if we were hungrier we could have split it between 2. Loved it so much that my friends joined the club, which was a great deal. Absolutely lovely location, delicious cider, fun staff, and super cool vibe!

    Rootwood Cider just continues to get more impressive with each release. The Rose and Harrison were wonderful- balanced, dry, and a long finish. As I drink more and more cider, I keep comparing to Rootwood and they never disappoint. Super friendly service too.

    Cider flight - excellent!

    A sunny fall day, sitting on the patio sipping a cider flight and taking in the orchard surrounding us. Heaven! Our host Rachael, was incredibly welcoming and we all chatted about beautiful Manson and its history. Love their ciders! Crisp, well balanced and not crazy sweet. We also picked a bag of golden delicious apples! Do yourself a favor and wander up the hillside to enjoy this place!

    This was one of our must visits on our wine tasting weekend as we had several cider babies in our party. After a long day of wine tasting those cider babies wanted nothing more than a glass of something tart and refreshing. Our friend reserved an outside table that had a beautiful fireplace and we also got blankets. The outdoor space was really nice. Cozy thanks to the fireplace and blankets and it was also covered keeping us dry. We had good service and they brought us out some cider tastings as well as some hot apple cider hitting the spot on a chilly day. The husband of mine, who is a cider fiend, loved Lake Effect and had to get a bottle. I really loved their seasonal cherry. While we only had an hour to enjoy our sampling we definitely went home with plenty for later!

    I just tried their three cider selection and I have to say, the one that really stood out to me was the Hop Infused. Has a very nice crisp taste and flavorful to it. The outside sitting is beautiful, especially on a nice full on Spring weather. Highly recommend to check this place out!

    Fantastic cider at Root Wood!

    Oh wow! This was an unscheduled stop but Steve and I came here to try a nearby craft brewery and figured we should stop in and try the cider here as well when we were up in the Lake Chelan area a few weekends ago. The cider here was fantastic and I love the taproom here! This area of Washington has cider and wine everywhere and one would hope that a fine quality of these things would be produced here. Well that certainly seems to be happening at Rootwood. The cider here was outstanding! Steve and I split a glass of their Harvest Cider which was extremely refreshing and perfect for the summer day we were out and about. The taproom is tastefully decorated and the outside seating is quite lovely to relax and enjoy the day go by. Excellent cider... I will definitely make a return trip back here whenever I'm in the area.

    My last review was when the taproom was in downtown Manson and this was my first visit to the Orchard - I absolutely love this location. It is a cute and cozy tasting room set in the Orchard - we visited in the snow in winter and it was so peaceful and gave such a warm feeling despite the weather outdoors. We did a tasting, bought some bottles, and the best part - had some hot spiced cider to warm us up in the winter weather! I can't wait to visit again in the summer!

    Large, open taproom, serving only their estate ciders. They offer about 12 types. Average pours.

    Flight of ciders
    Lacey A.

    Nice, quiet little spot to get some hard cider. All of the ciders I picked for my flight were great, but my favorite was rose.

    Yummy cider and dog friendly! Went there in February and the snow made for great views. They acclimated our large group easily. Our server had great recommendations and we had a great time!

    Cider was good. Setting was beautiful. Guy serving was rude. Guy visiting (postal worker drinking on the job) rude. Just not impressed

    We had such a wonderful experience at Endless Orchard today! Joni was an amazing server friendly,…read moreattentive, and made our tasting experience so enjoyable. The manager, Sue, was also incredibly sweet and welcoming, which really added to the warm atmosphere. The ciders were fantastic. Our favorites were the cucumber and the blueberry basil both so refreshing and unique. If you're visiting Lake Chelan, this spot is definitely a must-try (especially since only a few places were open today, and we're so glad this was one of them!). They offer great tasting flights, plenty of parking, lots of space to relax, and it's very kid friendly. The bathrooms were clean, and the whole place felt comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend adding Endless Orchard to your must visit list when you're in Chelan!

Steve and I tried of their ciders and we really liked it! The Forever Fuji Imperial cider is what we had and it was quite good! It has a hood apple flavor of course, robust in flavor actually. There is also a pleasant presence of sweetness and acidity to the cider also. Definitely a nice start with this cidery and I look forward to trying more of their cider flavors and options in the future!

    I did not realize how amazing apple cider could be until I came here. We wanted to go to a vineyard…read moreand sample some wine but didn't want our son to feel left out. So, we came here instead and had our own little taste testing session with a flight of cider. And wow! These were so good. And each one tasting unique and very flavorful. In the end, we chose a winner, and we all chose differently. There is a cider for everyone it seems! As a bonus, we walked out with some tasty gelato as well. This was a memorable stop for us and will come back again someday. Highly recommend!

    Visiting Cider Press was the highlight of our Manson/Chelan trip! We came twice, and would've come…read morea third day if they had been open on Sunday. We came to eat lunch and learn more about the cider press experience that we read about online. From the online description, I wasn't sure if it was $95 per person for the press, or if the price was flat regardless of how many people join in. Good news--it's a flat rate. You get 10 half gallons of cider. At first, we were hesitant to commit to that much cider because the shelf life is less than a week, but the staff explained that you could freeze the cider. So, we decided to do the press. Before pressing, we had lunch at the cafe. It's a simple menu but the sandwich, coffee, flight of cider, and apples with caramel were EXCELLENT. I'm also thankful that we did the flight because it gave us a good sense of what apples we should combine for the press. For the press, you pick the apple from the bin, wash them, toss them in the press, then bottle the cider. It was such a fun experience, and we loved being able to pick the apple combo so that we could get just the right level of tartness. We noticed that the cider did get sweeter the next day, so next time we'll mix in even more granny smith apples. After making our cider, we put it right in the freezer to prepare it for our drive back to Seattle. Then we filled a plastic box with ice to transport it back. It worked well! While originally we worried about what we'd do with 10 half gallons, now we're worried we may run out before the next time we return. It's so delicious and refreshing. In fact, it's really good the second day of defrosting in the fridge because it's a slushy texture. Yum! We also got a 20 pound box of cosmic apples for $10, and they were delicious too. All in all, we were super impressed with Cider Press. Great products, excellent quality, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and a nice view of the lake. We're looking forward to our next visit! Thanks Cider Press!
