About New Salem Cider

New Salem Cider is a beautiful and peaceful hidden gem in New Salem, Massachusetts. Located on a historic farmstead, it offers stunning views of the Quabbin Reservoir and the surrounding countryside, including an apple orchard, flower gardens with dahlias and zinnias, and picturesque fields enclosed by stone walls. The grounds and buildings are well maintained, creating a charming rural New England atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy outdoor seating in tents, picnic tables, or chairs, with a scenic backdrop perfect for relaxing, unwinding, or taking photos. The location is ideal for a quiet day retreat, a small date, or even a wedding, with a short drive through a quaint town center lined with historic buildings and a bell-ringing church.

Culinary offerings include wood-fired pizza, soft pretzels, apple cider donuts, and their own apple sauce and hot sauce. They serve a variety of ciders, with a popular $15 flight featuring four different hard ciders, including Quabbin Reserve, Core Appeal, Bee’s Knees, and Strawberry Fields. Growlers are available for take-home, and the place welcomes guests to bring their own food. The outdoor environment is complemented by a friendly atmosphere, with a sweet doodle named Jack acting as the official greeter.

Open from 11 am to 6 or 7 pm depending on the day, New Salem Cider is a welcoming, quiet retreat full of charm, scenic beauty, and top-quality ciders. It’s perfect for enjoying a low-key afternoon alone or with friends, making it a truly special place to experience the best of rural New England.

Quiet little cidery hiding up a hill. 11/10 recommend. The view was stunning and everyone was so kind. On top of that, some of the best cider I've ever had. It wasn't too sweet OR too carbonated, something that puts me off from canned cider. Gorgeous property, we even got to see where they do the distilling. Amazing experience, I've told everyone about it! Will definitely be back...

Cider days is the perfect family outing. Watch cider being make, learn how to prune an apple or how to make hard cider. Food and fun a a few vendors on hand. The perfect way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. And oh yes, the view of the reservoir is amazing.

Wonderful view.. delicious cider, and pretzels..fun to try the flight of cider and then pick our favorite! Staff were very helpful! Will definitely be back!
