Cideries in Sonoita, AZ

“The Meading Room is a cozy little place off the side of the road either on your way out of Sonoita or on your way in. The grounds allow for outside food and picnics to be brought in and accompany with a flight of Meade or hard ciders for $16 or a plastic “glass” of your favorite one; mine happened to be the Chill Tango which is a Chiltepin & Mango Cider. My Mexican palate naturally gravitated to the spice and tropical notes. There is plenty of space for large or small groups. Plenty of tables, chairs, green grass (the natural kind) dot the property and allow for a spirited larger group (pun intended) or hidden away Adirondack chairs for a more quiet couple looking to sip and relax away from the noise. Being that the area is open, it is also pet friendly. While we were on our visit, a number of patrons brought along their four-pawed companions. The Meading Room is a fun and relaxing place to spend an afternoon. In fact, if you go at the right time of day and year, you may even catch the southern clouds rise and partake in a rain shower.“
