Cider is a big deal in Virginia, and Albemarle County is the best place to enjoy cider during the warm summer months, as well as throughout the fall and winter seasons! Cider is an integral part of our local craft beverage scene, aided by the plentiful orchards in the area. Take a closer look at four of our favorite cideries below.
Potter’s Craft Cider
The tasting room at Potter's Craft Cider sits on a beautiful property in a renovated stone church. After you order inside, find a spot on the patio or lawn to enjoy weekly live music and food truck fare.
Albemarle Ciderworks
Treasure the taste of heirloom apples in Albemarle Ciderworks’s bright tasting room. You can also book a tour, picnic, or horseback ride in the orchard.
