Cideries near Athens, OH

“We first met Paul and Cynthia at a mead tasting at Ravenwood Castle where we were staying for the weekend.

They were phenomenal with their knowledge and love for what they do. The mead was so good we drove the 50 minutes to their meadery to try the rest of their wine.

Such nice people and we had a wonderful conversation.

Make sure to stop by and try their mead/wine slushie!“

“We had the best time at West End today!! The ciders were amazing and the atmosphere was perfect but the star was the bartender, Sara! She was fun to chat with and answered all of our cocktail/mixology questions! By the end she made us a delicious cocktail (Midnight Stinger) that neither of us had had before but both of us loved! We would give this place 10 stars if we could!“

“Definitely off the beaten path. You think you’re going up a sketch driveway maybe to a house that you may get told to stop and back up! You will then see another sign saying winery this way. Follow the signs , the owner and his dog are friendly! $5 for tasting all his wines. It’s a unique place in terms of middle of nowhere but completely worth it!“
