Bold Rock Nellysford Cidery

We had a wonderful experience here on Friday. We got to sample ciders to help us decide which to order in our flights. We both got hamburgers and shared the pretzel with beer cheese dip appetizer. The setting and views were beautiful looking out at the creek and greenery. I highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Popped in on a Thursday afternoon for a cold cider and something to eat... My wife and I had the Burger Special (Caprese smashed burger) which was so good we stopped back by on Friday. I had the "two city burger" and my wife had the chicken nachos. This second burger was even better than the ones we had on Thursday that made us come back. The IPA cider gave more of a beer taste (and less sweet) which went great with the meals.

Bold rock is such a fun and laid back setting! The atmosphere is great. The out door seating has a nice view overlooking the river and mountains. The drink options were very expansive! The food is great! We got the nachos, loaded fries, pretzel sticks, popper dip and pickles! All were so good! Will for sure be coming back here!

#BringBackLoadedFries — It’s an absolute tragedy that the loaded fries have been removed from the menu. Bold Rock ciders are always delicious, but without the loaded fries, we have much less motivation to visit. That said, the employees and general manager are awesome and always provide a great experience.

Atmosphere was beautiful. I could sit here for days. The trail was pretty fun too. Cider was delicious but nothing crazy, just well made.

Bold Rock is always a must stop when we are in the area. We usually stop for lunch on a weekday, have a few ciders and relax outside on the expansive deck. Great food, amazing ciders with a knowledgeable and friendly staff make every Bold Rock experience wonderful.

Great spot to hang and delicious ciders with local fruit, low added sugar. Awesome spot to walk along the creek or sit at tables. My favorite cider is premium dry or their classic Apple.

Can I give this place more than 5 stars?! Everytime im here i feel like im home. The atmosphere is always so amazing, welcoming and inviting - and that goes for the staff too! The cider selection is bar none, the food is always good too! We got the patty melt & the whipped feta dip this time and highly recommend! If you haven't been, you must add it to your bucket list.

Great service and wonderful live music! Would definitely recommend!! Love it so much!

If you are in Virginia this place is a must see!!! The view is amazing when sitting outside. There is a wide variety of Hard cider flavors ........beware you're not just going to like only one!!!! The apple cider donuts..........lets just say this is my new fave staff members that I encountered were all nice, patient, and willing to answer any questions you had.

Love everything about this adorable Cidery. Carrie is amazing and the food is delicious

Called ahead to ensure they had what I was looking for. They told me they had what I wanted and the price was $23. I drove an hour in the pouring rain to the Cidery to get what I was looking for only to get there and be told they're completely sold out the day prior after telling me it was in stock an hour before and that the new price was $73. Store Employee understood my frustration and got the manager. Manager completely waved me off with barely a word spoken to me. I don't know if I'll ever come back honestly. Waste of my time and money. Bold Rock has fallen off over the years and I'm really sad to see it happen.

Blackberry hard cider and Imperial cider were so good! We came on a Friday evening and ordered burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, BLT. All the food was good and didn't take too long. Staff were nice and helpful.

Had an amazing time memorial Day weekend. Drank and enjoyed the fire ! Cole was amazing and whipped feta was great.

I did not expect the food to be sooo good. We had the nachos, tacos, and Cobb salad and all were delicious. I got a flight and enjoyed them all. My favorite was pineapple. The location/atmosphere was wonderful and definitely worth the drive.

Such a great time! Can't wait to come back! Shout out Carrie she was so sweet and helpful!

This is another one of our go to spots in wintergreen. We love everything about this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is always delicious and plenty. And it always feels like we are home for the holidays. We always get excited to try all new and seasonal ciders. We have yet to find one we don't like. My favorite this time around was the pineapple one, yummy. This year we were able to also sample some goodies at the distillery side of this business. I hope they consider expanding both buildings. Around the holidays it's almost impossible to get a table and the wait can be long. This is probably because of the great products being sold there and the fact that you feel so at home that you don't want to leave.

Awesome place to visit with friends and family. Great food, great drinks, very friendly staff. We've come here in all seasons and we always have a fun time!

They have 3 buildings. The best one in my opinion is the building all the way to the far right and you do have to climb what they call the summit, But it is worth it. It's open seating. You walk up to the bar to the left and place all you orders. Drinks you wait and they pour them right there. Food they give you a buzzer and when your order is ready you go up to the window and pick up your food. There is seating everywhere. Staff super friendly and everything is fast. This place is dog friendly areas and games outside. Parking lot is so packed but there is plenty of parking and fields of seating outside We had a blast. It's beautiful inside and outside are fire pits and there is just a great vibe. The distillery is nice. They make you mixed drinks but you have to drink them there in that particular building

We went here twice on our trip dubbed Blue Ridge Booze Tour. And both times loved it. The first was for drinks and light eats, the second just for drinks. Our first visit we opted for flights since we'd never been. I'm not a big cider fan but I did find two I'd drink again. We did the smoked chicken nachos, pretzel sticks, and fried pickles. The food was good and what you'd expect from a brewery. I'll try nachos everywhere and every way, you can't really lose with those. Overall I'd completely eat there again. Second trip, just drinks, and took home a few bottles. Oh, and the staff? Awesome! 10/10 just for the ladies working behind the bar our first trip in. They were very helpful, very funny! Everyone we encountered was great! Already planning a trip back.

Wonderful place to hang with friends. Amazing views, and amazing service! Great food!

I hate hard cider but damn is place beautiful. This is the only place I willingly go to get said substance.

Great view, great drinks. I had an enjoyable time with my friends. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. Megan and Erin are the best bartenders

Fin is amazing! Thanks for the great service. Drove from Va Beach for the 13th birthday! Worth it!

Our absolute fav spot on Route 151! From the variety of ciders, amazing food and breathtaking views you will not be disappointed in this stop! kid and pup friendly is a huge plus!

May 25 2024 Horrible experience. Waited over an hour for food and then it was even botched. Turkey Reuben with no sauerkraut or thousand island dressing. Fail. Waited in line both times, 30+ minutes. Fail. Staff the damn place please. Fail.

Harrison and Diane were wonderful at the bar and gave many recommendations! Perfect ambiance for a party!

Great service and such a fun time! Perfect place to spend 21ft birthday, especially by the creek in the back. Cole and Diane are great and made out experience a hoot and a holler. Highly recommend :)

This is the best Bold Rock! They have a huge property with a distillery and sell drinks you cant find anywhere else there (these drinks are liquor/cider drinks like their "bold fashion"). They also surprisingly have great food! I didn't expect much but their "adult grilled cheese" and pretzels were fantastic. The service was great for both food & drink. When we were choosing our side the bartender suggested mixing the imperial and cranberry ciders and it was amazing; I still mix them together at home now! Another huge draw of this place is they have a huge seating area outside with stunning views. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends on the weekend.

I cannot recommend this cidery enough. The bartenders are extremely helpful in helping you choose a drink so the service is impeccable. The food is also slept on as I've never ordered a bad tasting meal ever (recommend the Kitchen Sink Potatoes if they have it). The ambiance is excellent as well, as I frequently bring my dog here where they have dog bowls on the ready. 10/10 experience everytime I come.

This is my second time in a week and absolutely love this place! So cozy and great drinks

Had a great time at Bold Rock! Such a nice outdoor space with a great view. The food was also so good! Don't skip the wings! Will definitely be back.

The cider is good. The views are great. I love Bold Rock. But this grilled cheese (see pic) was just sad. I feel like a child or drunk college student could easily make a better grilled cheese. It was billed as an apple grilled cheese on sourdough and instead it was kraft/American cheese with a tiny bit of apple on super burnt toast. And it was still cold despite being burnt. Others were also disappointed with their food. Though a friend said the pretzels were good. I would return for cider but never for food. Food: 1/5 Drinks: 4/5 Vibes: 5/5

This Cidery is busy, but the staff is very pleasant. It was a little difficult to get a table because it is first come/first serve. There was also groups of people holding empty tables for people that weren't there yet which seems like it shouldn't be allowed. The food is decent for bar food and they have a good selection of ciders and a couple beers on tap. There is a large field behind the main building that is great for dogs/kids, and a scenic creek that runs through the property that is perfect to sit by and relax.

I went for my 22 birthday and loved it!The area is soooo cute and the service was amazing! G helped so much with what to try on my flight. I plan on taking another trip soon.

Beautiful scenery, great staff, & great beer. We really enjoy our time here regardless of the season!!

Harrison had great service. Great venue great atmosphere fantastic time. It was splendid.

Today was a lovely day! The views and vibe were amazing, and the cider was even better.

Mel was awesome! From the start he welcomed us and helped us select our flights, giving great recommendations. Beyond just that, he had both hands full of trays and held the door for every customer who was near him. Overall, the place was great, the environment was great, the food and drinks were great, and above all the staff. Would highly recommend!

Awesome venue. Super friendly staff, very helpful. Great Ciders. Great selection including stuff you can't find anywhere else.

It's a great place to hang out with friends or a great place to try a new cider. This place is amazing definitely if you see it and you love it buy it because it'll be gone by the time you try to get it again. Talk to the talk to the bartenders in the distillery barn. They'll set you up with a great drink. As always, every visit at the distillery, a bold rock is amazing will be back

All the ciders here are amazing and the view are spectacular!! Try the IPAs! The pear one is worth it!

Food system is a nightmare. They service things in the order they are placed, which means my salad order took an hour. Surely manager when I complained. Unfortunately I can't leave zero stars

I would've absolutely recommend this place. They have great siders, beautiful view and friendly ambience.

Jack was great! I love coming to Bold Rock with this amazing staff. Thanks Bold Rock!

Great vibes, music and staff. Really cool spot and location. Food was good and already looking forward to coming back

Service is great with lots of options! Staff is very friendly and food is yummy! I highly recommend this place!

Always a good time at bold rock. staff was kind as always, and they were well stocked with ciders for to-go sales!

Great outdoor area. Lots to see and do ! If you're not into beer, their ciders quench your thirst !

We arrived at 1:30 on a busy Saturday afternoon. We tasted several ciders and decided in the Vintage Dry and the Coffee Roast (both very tasty), along with ordering food - a pretzel, the Classic Cheeseburger and today's special - The Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich. Our bartender "warned" us that it was 30 minutes for food and we thanked him and told him that was fine. We found a table inside and waited....waited....and waited. Finally at the 40 minute mark, we went to check on the order. The person at the counter said it would only be a few minutes more. At the 58 minute mark, our buzzer sounded. The burger and pretzel were both hot and tasty, the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and accompanying French Fries for both the burger and chicken sandwich were not! What the hell?!? No, we didn't complain, as we have worked in food service before and know that complaining to kids working in a hot kitchen certainly wasn't going to help the situation, since they should have known they were certainly serving cold food that has been sitting around. Had we received our food in the 30 minutes we were told, we would have enjoyed having more cider(s) but sadly we did not. The only service dog allowed inside sign was very clearly ignored by several customers. Management should have been walking around inside the premises and asking people with barking, annoying dogs to go outside, but that didn't happen. Our first stop at this Bold Rock location was not the experience we wanted.

The views here are stunning. I love how you can get flavors that are difficult to find in stores. Plus, you can try their liquor which not many folks are aware they even make. Be sure to check out the museum upstairs.

Don't miss out on this gem! The view from the tree covered balcony is absolutely amazing!!! The smoked chicken nachos were delicious. Get a flight of ciders for the best experience. Enjoy your visit!

Concurring the summit of 801.5 ft will reward the adventurous seeker of delicious cider. From a bold roasted coffee flavor to an imperial berry. Massive outdoor space. Outdoor seating is abundant with a view of the field for concerts and maybe the occasional football game.

Popped in here on our way back home from staying at an Airbnb close by in Nellysford. I've had Bold Rock cider many times at various locations, but never been to one of their locations. This cidery is the company headquarters, the center of operations, and their primary production facility. This is a beautiful piece of property. The building is a huge barn looking structure that looks over the river. We were very lucky to be there on a nice day and enjoy sitting outside on the patio with the great views. Many others were doing the same. However, the inside is equally spacious and nice. This place can hold a lot of people as there was so many seating areas inside and out. There were people of all ages enjoying the location, cider, and food. My husband and I ordered their Premium Dry cider. It was such a treat to enjoy their cider on draft as it's always better. I am not a fan of sweet so this was a perfect cider for me. The employee behind the counter was very helpful in helping us pick the best option for our tastes. The Premium Dry is a mixture/blend of red and green apples so got to enjoy the natural sweetness as well as the acidity of both apples. We also got a couple food items to share that came out pretty quickly. The Smoked Chicken Nachos (cheese sauce, black beans, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce, marinated red onions, white BBQ crema) were yummy. Loved the red onions preparation and between the cheese sauce and crema the nachos were nice and saucy. The Smoked Pulled Chicken Cobb (mixed greens, bacon, blue cheese, tomatoes, chopped egg, bacon balsamic vinaigrette) was heavy on the blue cheese and I am here for it. It was a tasty salad. Both items went well with the cider and were just enough to fill us up but not overload us before getting on the road to head home.

The food is great .my kids had fun .the property is beautiful there is so much to do.the cider is very good. there music playlist is good .the staff is nice. Gemma B. (8 years old. I don't drink cider)

This is one of the places I have been before when we made a trip up north several years ago. I was excited to visit again because the view was amazing and the ambiance of the establishment was awesome. The staff member helping me with my drinks was not friendly at all which made me sad. I wanted to 5 star this review but customer service is huge for me. However we still enjoy our visit here. We drank and ate indoors due to the rain leaving the outside patio wet. But it was cozy and nice inside. The loaded fries were only $6 for a Wednesday deal. They were ok, but nothing amazing. We all really enjoyed our drinks and got some to go as well.

Boy, do I love coming to Bold Rock!! The views are amazing, the ciders delicious and the food is good!! My personal favorite is their blackberry cider. The flights are generous and give you a good sampling of their ciders. They even have a viewing section to see the ciders being bottled. A couple of downfalls are the long lines and wait times for food. But if you're having a leisurely day, it's not a big deal!
