This was more of a novelty than anything. We drove an hour and a half to meet up with friends here. My other half loves cider. I'm a beer guy myself, but will drink cider when it's what's available.
First off, the grounds:
They are stunning. I could not imagine a more picturesque setting for a place like this. It was such a cool place to hang out. The interior is rustic and well-done, and the outdoor fireplace was a cool feature to sit by with our group. Walking around and seeing the brewing equipment was also very fun and interesting. This was all very enjoyable.
The cider:
I mean, it's cider. It was good. They had offerings that I have never seen in a store, which were fun to try. However, at their prices for a partially-filled plastic cup of cider, the day graduated into being very expensive very quickly. I don't know if it's state law up there, but they don't give you a full pour. By comparison, a draft pour at any Jersey craft brewery is cheaper, bigger, and better. However, for the sake of a fun and interesting day out, I could overlook this. We still had fun trying the various ciders.
My main gripe:
The FOOD. Options are limited. Given where you are, you're at their mercy. I wanted to love it, as it was my only option. I wanted to eat the whole thing, as I was starving, but I couldn't. I wanted to believe it would be amazing based on what they were charging. I had such optimism for it, but I was met with disappointment. The pizza...oh, the pizza (if you want to call it that), was downright horrible. Filed it in the trash and we still joke about it.
