Carter Mountain Orchard and Country Store

One of my daughters favorite stops near Charlottesville! The best cider donuts and slushes!

Beautiful place to sit and chill with some good cider

I had such a lovely time at Carter Mountain Orchard. The scenic drive to get there was beautiful, making the trip even more enjoyable. Once we arrived, the store was clean and filled with a variety of great products. There were so many cool items to explore, and the selection was impressive.

The apple cider is a must-try—it’s absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and making the visit even better. If you’re in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out for both the experience and the fantastic products!

Take time out of your busy schedule to a calm place to take a break and enjoy the scenic drive here. The apple cider hits the spot on a day like today! Also if your beyond the apple cider stage perhaps something like the sweet peach wine or something red is a great sampler and reasonably priced as well. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They still have ever chrisp apples a personal favorite of mine

Loved everything about my visit here. The donuts were perfection! Has a warm apple cider/wine cocktail and an apple cider slushy. Delish! We also took a sampler pack of the different alcoholic ciders and they were great as well. The view from the farm is spectacular.

Pretty nice view specially in the early morning the sunset

Always love visiting. Wonderful place, people, food, atmosphere.

Great place for a couple hours of fun. We tried the hot cider and the cider slushie, both were great. All in all a great experience. You can buy bags of apples in the front for pretty much the same price to pick. If you do decide to pick apples, talk to the people organizing the apples in the front. They know exactly where to go to find loads of apples.

Beautiful place to share an experience in nature with family and friends, ideal for those who want to enjoy landscapes and taste a wine of their choice.

Always love coming here! Beautiful

Horrible you have to pay to get into the market. And check what apples are available to pick, you can't pick them all when you go. Maybe if they allowed you to pick them all they could accommodate everyone. Have to pay to get into the market, then pay for merch and produce. Left and went to Ft. Valley Farm, much better experience.

Very nice view, you can see a beautiful sunset 😍 💕

The apple garden is fresh and delicious, suitable for family and friends gatherings

First time was great, would highly recommend the bread pudding

This was our second time coming up to Carter mountain. I guess we expected things to get better one of the times we went. The first time we came up, we waited at the window for hot, fresh donuts. The girl at the window told us that we could wait 15 minutes and they would be ready. We happily agreed, as that's why we drove up there. We waited the 15 minutes and went back, to which she told us it would be another 15 minutes. We wandered around and waited. The third time up to the window she told us it would be 15 minutes again. At this point, we just got the cold ones and left. We ended up throwing half of them away. We went back up today with some out of town guests and went back to the window for donuts. This time the TV said "if this is on, we have hot donuts." You can imagine how happy we were to see that! We got to the window and ordered 3 cups of hot cider, a pint of cider and half a dozen HOT donuts. There was a sign on the menu board that said "buy one pint, get one free," so we asked the guy at the window about it, since we had bought a pint. He told us it wasn't available on the cups of cider, only the pint- the same pint we had paid for and were currently holding. We told him we had bought a pint, to which he said we hadn't bought 2 of them. Again, the sign said buy one, get one. He got super rude and walked away. When he handed us out donuts, I'm pretty sure they came out the fridge. They were cold, might as well have been frozen. Customer service was awful today. It seems the more well known they've become; the worse they get. Last and final visit to Carter mountain. Not worth the hassle or the rudeness of staff to customers.
