There's a huge outdoor area of picnic tables with umbrellas and games (jenga, corn hole and ladder toss). Two flight options along with a small snack menu. Bottles are $11.14 to $25.00, which includes taxes and deposit. They offer 10% off bottles with a purchase of a flight. - Flight #2 ($11.50) - farm house, piquette, kiwi sour and quince. Best flavour and the most unique was the quince (sadly, it was only available on tap). Touch of funk in the farm house. Piquette was supposed to have upfront ginger notes, we didn't detect any. Kiwi sour was light in flavour. JO&C had interesting sounding flavours but the ciders left us wanting more.

Cider and "pizza"? Stopped by on a Friday for the first time for cider and pizza from the "Pizza…read moreshack" on the premises. Cider was wonderful and a flight let you try the unique blends for just over $11- delicious. Sat outside on some wobbly picnic benches and soaked in the ambience, music a little loud. The only downer of the evening was the 3 choices of pizza from the pizza shack, order at window, that were the most minuscule ( a few bits of dill pickle and dusted with mozeralla and I mean dusted! This also applied with the "meat topping") pizzas I have ever encountered for basically the same price as you would pay in a pizza restaurant, served on a floppy paper plate. I realise food supplies are expensive but seemed to me that these pizzas were very over priced. Kind & helpful staff all round.

It was such a fun way to try varieties we probably wouldn't have ordered otherwise. But the highlight of our visit was definitely Wyatt at the sushi counter. He was so easy to talk to, genuinely kind, and you could tell he really cares about what he does. The sushi was amazing, and it was obvious he takes a lot of pride in making it. Meeting people who are that passionate about their work always makes the experience so much more memorable. Can't wait to come back for more cider, more sushi, and to say hi to Wyatt again. Thanks for such a great afternoon!

The food and cider menus were extensive, featuring special items, mocktails, and cocktails. The service was excellent, and the spot is beautiful. It's also kid-friendly with games on the lawn and other activities. I enjoyed each of the ciders. I had the non-alcoholic flight, and my favorite was the lavender one! The fennel soda was very interesting, the ginger soda was a take on a ginger ale and the apple juice was great. Great value as well for $7. My husband had the world alcoholic cider flights and thoroughly enjoyed his selections. The farm itself is incredibly charming and offers activities for both adults and children. They also have some tours. I will definitely return for another visit and highly recommend Merridale cider and distillery
