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.

Love this place, especially decorated for Christmas. Stopped in for the Farmhouse Dry, which is delicious, it is dry but has some sweetness. Next time I’m definitely getting the Deep See though, I told the tender (wish I’d gotten her name she was chill & helpful) I loved super dry & she pinned exactly what I like in the Deep See.

I don’t drink much cider to be honest but this place is definitely worth a visit. The building is historic and I love the vibe and the outdoor seating area is great. They sometimes have live music and the cider selection is good, I recommend getting a flight because I don’t know what kinds of cider I prefer or not.

What better place to celebrate a wedding than at one of couple's favorite haunts while they were dating?! Potter’s lived up to everything they could have expected for their wedding day; romantic ambience, delicious cider and a dance floor that could take the party deep into the night. Lauren and her team did an amazing job making sure the wedding and the cider flowed freely throughout the night and we can’t wait to get back there tonight to Wassail!

We were in town for the weekend and someone recommended we give Potter’s a try and I’m so glad they did! I’m not usually a fan of cider because I find it really sweet but we ordered 2 flights while we were here and I really enjoyed each one! We bought a bottle to bring home. Not only was the cider great and the atmosphere awesome but the sandwiches and charcuterie board we ordered hit the spot…I’m honestly still thinking about them!

Great atmosphere, beautiful building, friendly attentive service. Booked the firepit which was lovely. Wish there were more people there, I would like it to still be here next time. Generous pours on the flights!

This is an adorable hole in the wall place with beautiful views of the area and lots of different ciders to try! It was a beautiful place and I’m so glad that I was able to sit and enjoy some cider yesterday while enjoying the views and atmosphere!

Parking: There is some parking at the top of the hill or at the bottom of the hill… but that was a steep hike!

We love Potter’s! They have an incredibly cozy and welcoming tasting room space and also a wonderful outdoor area with bistro string lights. The charm and character of the 100 year old stone house is fun to just admire on its own, but the cider is great too (and dry!)

Nice relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a couple ciders. Didn't try their food, but it looked like they had a small selection of lunch items that we are looking forward to try next time.

I attended a wedding ceremony at Potter's, both the inside and outside ambiance was warm.
Recommended for wedding ceremonies, anniversaries and graduations.

Worth visiting for the fresh draft ciders and the unusual aged bottles. Beautiful venue inside and grounds outside. The limited food menu was very well prepared.
