Foggy Ridge Cider

Showed up and someone was renting it as an Airbnb like WTH?!?! Long drive for all that!

I am a beer guy myself but have been going to FR for about 10 years now. This is the only cider I drink as I find most are just poorly done. I would say their cider is better than most wines out there. Like most craft breweries and all wineries you should expect to pay a small fee to sample flights of the ciders, which I think for the last 10 years has been about $5. You would need to check the sign above the tasting bar to be sure. I would say if you don't like craft food and the employees talking about the history of the company or the process and labor put into making the cider then you should probably drive past and not stop in. There is a meadery within a mile and several wineries close by as well. I should say that they all charge for their samples and speak at length about their products so some people might view this as a "sales pitch". I should also add this is not a place you just drive by and "stop in". It is off the beaten path and miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy.

Stopped in to check it out. Was offered a sample. After a lengthy sales pitch. And an offer to join some buy club for there cider. I politely declined and thanked the sales person for her time. To which she said (Well you owe me 5$ for the sample's) I looked around for a sign stating that there was a charge for it. There was none. I gave her the 5 and told her she may want to at the very least post a sign or tell potential customers before hand. Very underhanded way to make a quick buck. Will not go back or recommend it to anyone. Shame on you Foggy Ridge.

Purchased some Pippin Gold at the Reynolds Homestead wine fest. Absolutely exquisite! Love the ladies at the booth(I fetched BBQ for them) Very helpful in choosing the best choice for our tastes. We'll visit ASAP.

Its a shame that a once great place has slipped so far. Perhaps its who they chose to do business with. I sure hope they see the error in supplying a business that treats a woman and her family so poorly.

Simply the best cider I've tried (and I love them, so I try any I come across). Like cider-y champagne.

Nice place till they closed tasting room 😔
