I gave it 4 stars because it was pricey; however, if you are seeking a calm, low key, open nature experience. It is worth the time spent. The campus is clean, open and plenty of seating, also dog friendly. I’ve come back every year just for that experience. Food options are limited, they do their best to bring food trucks. Live music is usually here. Overall worth the trip.

I was so pleasantly surprised to discover Doc Waters Cidery—it’s practically around the corner from the pumpkin patch I visit every fall, yet I had no idea it was there! I ended up going for a friend’s birthday party, and it was the perfect setting for a fall gathering.

We reserved one of the fire pit sections, which was cozy, affordable, and felt private enough to enjoy our group time while still soaking in the lively atmosphere around us. It’s great that they offer easy bites onsite and allow you to bring in outside food (though alcohol is restricted), which really gave us some flexibility.

The atmosphere overall is fantastic—ideal for autumn, with beautiful grounds and well-maintained spaces. Even though I didn’t get to go apple-picking, it’s such a cool option for next time. The cidery is

Outside of the Original Hard cider, and the classic non alcoholic cider didn't enjoy the flavors/cider type of the flight they built. Ciders between friends seemed inconsistent in flavor, one friend enjoyed his blueberry cider, and I've heard the canned are good but after the extremely DRY and under sugared apple cider donuts couldn't bring myself to spending more money. The atmosphere and the seating is nice, but there are better Cideries around.

I really wanted to like this place, but I just can’t lie to myself.

We got lost on the way there - came from Butler’s, and there was a sign pointing us down a road…and NO signs beyond that point. Blew right past the left turn we needed to take because there was absolutely no signage in an area prone to not having any cell service.

Once we got ourselves right-sided and made it…the cider is just not good. Tasted like watered down Mott’s apple juice my mom would give me as a toddler.

The live music was this weird guy playing ethereal synth over some stock beats from GarageBand.

Visited this place for the first time on 9/28/2024 and picked our own apples. A lot of different varieties of apples to pick from. The price is by the size of bags, not by weight. You pay for small, medium, or large bag at the entrance. You pick, fill the bag, and walk out. You can taste and buy ciders there also. Not really cheap, but great experience. Really enjoyed it!

We picked rare seasonal apples, had a cider tasting with the owner, and ate authentic Indonesian food from the transient food truck. We played frisbee, corn hole, and listened to casual live music. Do this.

Love this local brewery. Their cider is good and to of mix and match option to pick from. Got the bourbon barrel aged, wasn't a fan but other options r good. Food truck is hit or miss. They also have a mini place where u can buy snacks (chips, onion dip, humus etc). Oh their non alcoholic apple cider is the one to get at any given second!

Have trivia
Have good music!!

First time we tried to go it said “open”. When we arrived there wasn’t anyone there. Second time we can for trivia. It was at 7pm. We got to the table to pickup an answer sheet at 7:02 and were denied being able to play. I’ve hosted trivia multiple times as I worked at a brewery…there’s no excuse for that. He tried saying it’s a special trivia and we asked to at least play on our own and he said no. One lady overheard it all and brought us a sheet anyways and Apologized on his behalf. Atmosphere wise it wasn’t for us either and wouldn’t recommend bringing kids. My wife didn’t finish 3 of the 4 ciders in her flight citing they weren’t up to par with the many others she likes. When she was ordering them the one guy wasn’t very personal. He also said they serve root beer on tap - it’s not, it’s in a can. Wish them good luck but not a good experience, service or product.
