Cideries in Santa Barbara, CA

“An amazing find during a trip to SB. My partner loves good, super-dry ciders, and through her I”ve come to appreciate them as well (and it’s a lot easier to take her to a brewery with me than for us to find a cidery for her…).

Dropped in near the end of New Year’s Day and did tasting flights - mostly overlapping, but it’s a relatively compact selection to choose from (even if you dapple into the mead options). The four ciders we tried were exceptional - complex, dry, and with robust and distinctive flavors. I can’t remember the names, but the one co-fermented with a red wine was surprising and so, so good in particular.

The guy working the bar that night was also really helpful, friendly, and brought incredible energy on a quiet, grey, cold NYD. The whole place was a great experience!“
