Rootwood Cider Taproom - at the Orchard

The folks are friendly, the cider is delicious and the location is delightful. Add to that, Rootwood is owned and run by a local family with many generations’ experience raising apples and you’ve got a top notch place to enjoy a crisp glass of cider.

What a fantastic spot for an afternoon cider tasting and hangout! We loved our visit from start to finish. The gentleman working was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. The ciders are really good, ranging from dry to semi-sweet, with a unique pepper one available right now. Snacks available were perfect for holding us over until dinner. Definitely want to return!

We had such a great experience at Rootwood Cider! It’s truly family friendly, a refreshing change after coming from a nearby winery that made us feel like having kids along was an inconvenience. This place was the exact opposite! There were tons of toys and space for the kids to play, which let us adults relax and actually enjoy our drinks.

The staff was absolutely amazing; kind, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He really made the visit special for us. It was our first time here, but we’ll definitely be coming back whenever we’re in town. Highly recommend for families and anyone who wants a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere with great cider! So good that we had to buy some bottles and merch to take home!

Stopped by on a weekday so it wasn’t very busy.

They have a nice outdoor seating area with some toddler toys. Our kid enjoyed playing with the mega blocks while we dined. The indoor space is minimal.

We got a cider flight. Three ciders at 12$ were fair value. The ghost pepper cider was the highlight so we got more of it. It was unlike anything I had tried before.

The apple chips with cream cheese were delicious too and complemented the ghost pepper cider

Reed made our experience there great!!! We will be back!

This is a must visit when in the area. Amazing variety of cider drinks... Had to buy some bottles to take home. My favorite was the Pollinator and the Wassail - Spiced Hard Cider 🍺

Phenomenal cidery and picnic spot nestled amongst the orchards in the hills above Manson. Beautiful lawn and plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. Very dog-friendly. Cider is excellent and they serve a lovely charcuterie plate if that's your thing. We made multiple visits on our week long stay in the Chelan area.

So worth the drive up to this amazing place! Staff is so helpful and caring. I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area. If you're not, join their shipment program to get the best cider ever shipped to your door! The grapefruit cider cocktail was out of this world good! I'm kicking myself for not buying more bottles when I was there. Guess I'll have to order some online instead! Thank Rootwood Cider for producing one of the best ciders out there!

Parking: The parking lot is small, but it should be enough to accommodate a full venue there.
