Love the views. If you are going to enjoy to relaxing and views, it is great for that! If you are not a fan of ciders then do not go, that is it! They only have water otherwise. They do have all different flavors though. If you’re go there expecting an event as described on the website or events pages, forget it! We have gone twice for advertised events and both times, they never happened. We approached staff and the excuses were DJ did not show or cancelled.staff is always very nice! The place is always packed so I guess it did not matter to some. I have brought at least 6 or more with me for these events. I do not know if it was a draw to get people to come. Please do not advertise if you are not sure it is happening.

Plenty of space to spread out with your group with inside and outside choices. Food is always spot on delicious! But why wouldn't Cider-Mosas be offered in the Cider Barn for Sunday Brunch where you pick up food, instead of in the Distillery Barn?!

Such a fun place to have a wedding! The views are incredible and the building is simply gorgeous! We loved photographing Tyler & Tara's wedding here with so many great locations for photos! We can't wait to photograph here again in the future!

Drinks and atmosphere are 5/5. This is one of our favorite spots to take people who visit from out of town. I've taken family here as well as included this on one of the many stops during my bachelor party. The views on the ride up 151 and off the back of the cidery are a great way to showcase the Blue Ridge Mountains. There is no table service but the staff is always on point. This place gets very busy but our food/drinks have never been delayed and the staff has always been on point. I recommend trying the dry/champagne ciders. My wife enjoys some of the more flavored ones. You absolutely must make your way over to the distillery. Bold Rock has some of my favorite locally distilled spirits coming second only to Ragged Branch. Their old-fashioned is on point (not the premixed can version) and my family loved their Mountain Fresh gin/cucumber cocktail. This is a must-stop along 151.

Nice atmosphere, good food. Wide choice of ciders. When weather is better and cooperates would enjoy sitting by the creek/river.

We had such a fun time here! It’s a great, lively atmosphere with even better drinks. There is something for everyone in the group. Was disappointed with the fries, though. They tasted like heated up McDonald’s fries.
