Save your money and don’t come here! Nearly $30 for a charcuterie board so small and uninspired that it borders on insulting. Their cider was even more questionable. I struggled to detect any alcohol and found myself wondering whether it would hold up under independent testing.
A good cidery makes you feel excited to support local business. This place makes you feel scammed and leaves a bad taste in your mouth—- a taste that I would not want washed down with their sad apple juice, I mean cider.

South Hill Cider has the perfect blend of good drinks, great people, and amazing scenery. The cider flights are fantastic, and the live music nights are always such a good time. It’s one of those places that captures everything you love about Ithaca — community, creativity, and care in every detail.

Atmosphere is very nice with outdoor seating and campfires. However, we came in expecting apple cider and got hard ‘cider’ with no cider. We paid a fortune for one ‘cider’ tasting and got four glasses of disgusting wine. We also got food which we had to wait 40 mins for as a man in a metal trailer made us a sandwich that should’ve taken max 15 minutes. If you are expecting apple cider or a quick bite, this is not the place.

Breathtaking views; exquisite cider, and incredibly warm and friendly service from the people! In my spare time I have been studying Finger Lakes region wine for 6 years; after tasting South Hill Cider’s String Theory, Prelude and Full Blossom, I’m going to do the same with cider. Not only was the set up visually gorgeous from the landscape down to the details of the string lights and the fire pits and the local art inside, the cider was outstanding. South Hill exposed me to the craft of cider, and much like wine we can learn much about place through tasting cider and appreciating the thoughtfulness and myriad decisions that go into their production. I brought a bottle home to NYC to share with my friends. And pro tip: check out Stay on Orchard Hill on HipCamp to camp on a platform raised canvas tent right on the gorgeous property with unbelievable views. We’ll be back here!

Cider was delicious. Food not bad (not great either). Outdoor seating was pleasant, but way too many bees. I'm not for wiping out pollinators, but it made the dining experience less than ideal.
Prices for this place were really high for the amount of food you receive. 29 for a small charcuterie board and flight glasses had 4 to 5 sips.

This was one of the best evenings/nights we have had in a long time. Not only was the place beautiful, the food was fantastic, the drinks excellent, the band was straight groovy, AND they let us camp on site in our RV!! They are dog friendly and offer other drinks besides cider. This really was one of the best nights out of our week long road trip. Would definitely go back.

It's a nice place to get great local ciders. They have live music during the summer. The Golden Hour music series is a favorite. Plenty of open space, picnic tables with a nice view of the country side.

This is a wonderful place to stop after spending time in buttermilk Falls State Park. If you park at the upper entrance of buttermilk is very near there. Great help on selecting cider that we really enjoyed. Food was also very good. Atmosphere and overlook of the outside patio even better!
