Food is so on point, as well as the cider and selection. Great place to chill or go to an event. Great off the road location that is semi-secluded and just off HWY 29.

Charlottesville might be known for its wineries, but anyone who hasn’t been to Potter’s is missing out. Amazing place to hang out, next level cider, warm staff.

I bought the canned grapefruit hibiscus seasonal cider in canton Georgia, I’m ABSOLUTELY in love! Crisp fresh and easy sipping

This place is great. I've been here a couple of times now. The last time was for a sea shanty show and it was packed. There were cars parked down the access road. It was great. The music was fun, the staff was friendly and attentive even though they were swamped. My kid loved running around on the grass outside.Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian banh mi.

Great ambience and plenty of cider options to choose from! There are three different flight options for $15, and if you don't like those combinations, you can always choose from the cider list to create your own. The ciders are drier and not too sweet. I highly recommend the Highland barrel-aged cider.Parking: There were plenty of spaces in the bottom lot.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an upper lot with wheelchair accessibility.

We shared a flight of the waitresses choosing. Delicious and lots of options, even for those of us who don't go for things that are sweeter.The customer service is phenomenal and the vibe is so welcoming. It was great to see families hanging out inside and out. Such a beautiful atmosphere ?

We had our holiday party in the loft area, which is so cute. The food was amazing as was the service. Kombucha is a must! The cider and cocktails were also fabulous. Live music was wonderful as well. Just a lovely property with a very nice vibe.

Huge outdoor space. Love that they offer wine in addition to cider. Very dog friendly. Tables and chairs were interestingly sized. Was sitting way too low to the ground. Wish they had heaters outside since inside is so small. Wasn't bad overall just been to better.
Enjoyed both the updated old building as well as the exterior space set on top of a hill in a secluded area surrounded by trees, cider choices were plenty, service was

From out of town and come here every time we visit Charlottesville. The cider is fantastic. But the best part is the staff, who always greet you with a smile, and really seem like they really enjoy working at Potter's.Have been coming here for 5 years and today the chef sought us out because he noticed we bought some of the canned apps and he gave us an extra baguette he had. It was one of the nicest gestures I've ever had.This place is just the best.

First thing that stands out is the hill that you have declined to enter the building. All that is nestled under the trees, which is appealing. Love the fact that the old building has been reconverted for new purpose. Atmosphere was great, drinks were pretty good, and very recently priced. Staff was

Potter’s is absolute perfection every. single. time. Been going there since the grand opening (magical evening) and each time it’s a delight. The customer service is always fantastic; everyone I’ve interacted with has always been friendly and helpful. On they weekends they typically have food trucks and live music which only enhances the entire experience. Not to mention the grounds and beautifully restored stone church are the perfect setting to enjoy some of their wonderfully dry ciders. Check this place out…you won’t regret it.

Since I'm an RVA Elite I'll call this a jaunt barely an hour away and absolutely worth it! Y'all have likely had Potter's at Ellwood Thompson's, Wegmans, Whole Foods... come see where it's made. This is a wonderful oasis up a hill, down a dirt road and you're going to think what the heck ?? Then you get there and it is absolutely delightful! Eclectic music mix ... everything from bossa nova to old school hip-hop (think Hypnotize, No Diggety). Even back further! Hip hop hooray (for us Gen x'ers lol)Shade seating , sunshine seating, friendly service, food (ice cream vendor today) inside and out (a great food truck today also (shout out to #twistedbiscuits who made a arugula-heavy and heavenly fig-pig cheesy lunch offering since sadly I had forego the biscuit). This establishment also can host events, (they have a private indoor space) and pretty large grounds if outdoor is preferred. And let's not forget the cider!! I sampled four, and if you are not yet an aficionado, cider is not just baby apple juice cider. I had various types on my recent trip to New England and let's just say that flavors and aromas vary extensively.I enjoyed the Harrison which was well-described as having cinnamon and clove undertones. The strawberry ginger was definitely ginger on the nose. Refreshing! The oak barrel, which I thought would be a little deeper was actually light but nice. The flight is a great way to get to know what they've got and many take home options available. Venture here Richmond friends! while our city is wonderful, in just a quick hop skip and jump, you'll arrive. This is essentially a teeny weekend outing. Heck, it take sometimes an hour just to get across town.
