Cideries in Charlottesville, VA

“We stopped here on a Saturday evening in early March while traveling. We shared a flight but did not have any food.

Parking was crowded and you have to walk up a trail to get to the building. There’s a drive way you can drive up to drop people off though. The line to order was long but moved at a reasonable pace. The staff were friendly. There was live music performing in the main level. We sat upstairs at a table so it was a little quieter up there but they were pretty full. The cider was good. I liked the strawberry ginger the most of the 4 we had.

There were a few kids running around. I find this to be a bit inconsiderate of parents when the place is jam packed and the kids are on the loose. I’m not saying don’t bring your kids, but have some situational awareness.

It looks like they have some outdoor space. It was too cold and windy to be outside on the night we were there.

Overall this was a good experience.

Parking: Big parking lot

Kid-friendliness: There were a few kids running around in here. My advice would be to keep them in your sight and don’t let them run all over the place. There are plenty of things to trip over or crash into including other people.“

“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!“
