Mt.Defiance Cidery & Distillery

Where to Eat and Drink in Middleburg, Virginia | Eater DC

"Mt. Defiance is both a cidery and distillery, with a dedicated venue for each. The Cider Barn sits just outside of downtown (495 E. Washington Street) and operates Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. with ciders on tap and food trucks on the weekends. The Distillery is right downtown, open daily with the same hours. At the Distillery, sip on cocktails like the Rosemary Grapefruit Paloma ($9) and work your way through flights of half-ounce samples of spirits like Blanco and Reposado tequilas, Virginia whiskey, and amaretto liquor. Feeling adventurous? Ask for a glass of Absinthe, prepared in the traditional French drip fashion through Mt. Defiance’s own absinthe fountain." - Tim Ebner
