The kids loved walking the trail to see the goats, sheep, turkeys and chickens. Defazios has its own little special place in the back, it's like hidden in between two shipping containers and a silo. Someone was having a party back there taking up most of the picnic tables. Wish there was a little play set or big jenga, big checkers, corn hole, something to entertain the kids but nothing but some good old grass. We ended up walking back to the front going into the newly renovated store and enjoying famously known some cider donuts. As good as ever! The restaurant was busy inside had tables with shade outside so that's where we decided to sit. Drinks were good, nice refreshing ipa on a hot day. The food was basic and no fryer so no French fries or anything. The kids got bored couldn't really stay more than an hour or so. Deviled eggs were basic. Jalapeño poppers were okay, wish they didn't put the paper under them because after a few minutes the paper got stuck and every bite you had to make sure there wasn't paper in. Nice spot to stop in for a quick snack or drink, maybe some farm fresh produce.

My favorite is the Hidden Star cider! it's just the right balance not too sweet and not too dry! It's very light and you can really taste the apples! it's such a fresh taste not artificial. Not highly carbonated either! i love it. Also my fav is the Black Currant cider, it pairs perfectly for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! We always pick up some bottles when we stop for cider donuts and apples!

What a great concept to bring to this lovely but rather sleepy Catskills hamlet…read more Came the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend when staying nearby and had a great time. The owner seems very dedicated to having live music and supporting the arts so they had a band playing that actually sounded good! Lots of young families around enjoying the lawn games. Local ciders and beers were reasonably priced and tasty. I'm usually not the biggest fan of either but I ended up trying a peanut butter cider that turned out to be absolutely delicious. Not too sweet or tart and tasted actually quite natural. Ended up taking a growler home to share with friends. We weren't hungry so we didn't try the food but they had a chicken barbecue going and were selling cheese boards that looked pretty great. The bathroom situation is port-o-potties but to my surprise and delight they were actually clean and they offer a handwashing station outside. A++ recommend and would return.

Walk around and behind the store and then up the dirt road leading between greenhouses. The cidery is on the right. The front part has a few tall tables and the bar. Go through the doorway to the left of the bar and it opens up to a huge space with picnic tables. Beyond that is a huge fire pit and Adirondack chairs. It's a really cute spot.

You can not beat the setting and the atmosphere at the Cidery. Wonderful place for all types and…read moresizes of groups. Fabulous and creative food from Yummy Kitchen. The selection of brews and ciders is of good quality, but limited. The only reason for less than five stars is the $8.00 price of drafts and canned ciders and beers. Eight dollars!? I know there's been inflation over the past two years and every business has to make their margins, but c'mon! I think there's some severe price gouging occurring.

One word: unbelievable! Before you visit, though, you must…read moreknow that their tasting room is attached to their residence, so when you pull in, it will feel like you're visiting your friends or family and not a cidery. You also need to know that it will be one of the best cider experiences you've ever had due to the uniqueness of the product and location. They specialize in cider that is aged in spirit barrels - everything from Scotch to gin to tequila to rum and everything in between. As a result, most of their ciders are still and have no carbonation. They do, however, have a few carbonated ciders. When I visited, my boyfriend and I each had a flight of four, which came with a tasting glass for $12. It was a great way to try their different offerings. My favorites were the Cranberry Crisp carbonated cider and Cidre de la Porte, which is a carbonated cider aged in Port wine barrels. They also have several cocktail specials that use their ciders. We were greeted by one of the owners, who explained everything they had to offer and brought us out on their spacious deck. There were so many seats outside that overlooked their small apple orchard and property. We were the only ones there at the time, and it was so incredibly peaceful. This cidery is a hidden gem that I hope more people discover - especially with the amazing fall weather coming up!

What a beautiful, CLEAN, friendly, and inviting venue!…read more Aside from incredible cider at more than fair prices (try the classic, the Mule cider, and the Imperial (if you want more bang in your cider)), Nine Pin is absolutely SPOTLESS inside - so impressed with how clean this place is. Also impressive are their Bavarian pretzels with Cider Cheese, the ambient music, the selection of games to play, and their robust calendar of events. The team members working there are super friendly and knowledgeable. One of the highlights of this visit was watching a couple at a nearby table order a cider flight, and it comes as an impressive display of nine tap offerings framed in a nine-pin bowling pin diamond - WOW!!! Though I am not in Albany often, I do have a few friends in the area and rest assured the next time I am in this city, Nine Pin will be where I ask to meet up with all of my friends. I'm excited for another trip here. Well done Nine Pin!

I ordered the Goat Cheese Honey Flatbread (I think that's what it was called), which was a delicious combination of creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, savory crispy prosciutto, and sweet honey drizzle.

Fun atmosphere, good food, creative ciders, and a lively crowd. I'll definitely be back. Plus as a bonus they have seating not only at the bar and tables but on a bus!!

I had a completely different experience on my second visit compared to my first…read more My first visit a couple of months ago was amazing. The service was friendly, the environment was clean and welcoming, and I left with a great impression of Awestruck Ciders. Unfortunately, my visit last weekend was a huge disappointment. The service was extremely slow, and the bartenders came across as dismissive and uninterested. They also didn't seem nearly as knowledgeable about the ciders or what they were serving. The overall environment was noticeably dirty and poorly maintained. Sitting in the bus honestly felt like sitting in a trash can, which made it difficult to enjoy the experience. The parking situation also needs attention. There are no clearly marked parking lines, and the entrance/exit has some very large potholes that make getting in and out feel hazardous. As for the ciders themselves, I was disappointed there as well. They all seemed to taste very similar, and I didn't notice much distinction between the different flavors. It's unfortunate because my first experience was so positive that I was excited to come back. Unfortunately, the difference between the two visits was significant, and based on my most recent experience, I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.
