Savanna is the most amazing customer service centric person I have EVER encountered in the service industry in all of my food/wine/beverage experienced hands down.This young gal performs like a vested owner, speaks and relates to clients like a true trained professional that actually care about your experience in this establishment.The most amazing handcrafted beverage maker and beyond an expert when it comes to tinned fish.The selection of wine, cider, beer and so much more!!This is our 3rd trip in 2 months and this will be our go to local stop due all of the listed and especially Savanna!The environment is intoxicating and beyond l lovely. Perfectly curated and superbly managed and hosted by the amazing Savanna.I have never found more of selection of tinned fishes and seafood ? ?in my entire life.This place is a a hidden gem right in the breather path.

Amazing cider!

"less is more" cider- interesting taste. I love this hidden gem. Plenty of outdoor seating and igloo rental. Will definitely be back in the spring to try out their other goodies.

We had a great visit to the igloos. The cider and snacks were incredible!

Good place if you have money to blow on $18-$27 flights and $9 ciders. Not the best in winter as it is primarily outdoors. Little hosting to know what to do and how to enjoy yourself there. Can be a turn off to first timers, otherwise the environment can be good for those who have money and can come regularly. Be hard to catch a buzz under $40. $25 for one sider and a half poured glass of wine. Trees need trimmed so you can safely leave.

Great spot for slow vibes, small snacks and good wine or ciders. I ordered the cider flight and the service knew what to pick for me. The charcuterie board does not disappoint. Mellow background music.

I've driven past this location so many times and never stopped. I'm glad that changed today. This is truly a hidden gem just a 30 minute drive from Danville, VA. I was there for the NC Fermentation festival. The weather was awful and they had lost power but they took everything in stride. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I look forward to making the drive down again.

It's hard to rate this place as it's different than most. The ciders are unexpectedly good and the outside seating is rustic. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Brilliant is all I can say! The cider is light and smooth. The space is beautiful, quite, and hidden. You could almost miss it if you do not know where you are going and that is the charm! You can sit on a rainy day and enjoy every bit of the rain while relaxing. We most definitely will be back.

What a great inaugural guided tour and tasting! Highly recommend both, and thank you for such a great variety of cider/wine, and food pairings. Will come back again! Thank you Derek and Wes!

Attended the most fascinating Shitake Mushroom class, feasted on a salami/basil/sweet onion pizza, and sipped through a Southern Cider flight. We enjoyed the community atmosphere (farmers market items and pizza crafting in front of you). There is plenty of outdoor seating with various comfy chairs, picnic tables, and settings to choose from. Will be back when it gets warmer!

Went here with a small group and was pleasantly surprised! I expected all the ciders to be super sweet. I described what I like to Megan, and she brought a flight full of winners!

Welcome to a countryside cidery outside of Hillsborough. Here is your peek into a different way of making ciders. These ciders are tarty and stronger than your average ones. Botanist and Barrel offers farm-style outdoor seating underneath an awning and picnic tables out back. Today was quiet, though food trucks will occasionally pay a visit. Check B&B's website for the schedule and what days feature live music. My long-time friend Meagan gave me a run-down of what B&B features and what ciders she recommends I try. I chose a flight of four ciders from her list. My favorite is the Tart Blueberry with Pardon My French coming in second. I recommend checking out B&B for a unique take on cider with a country atmosphere.
