Gowan's Cider Garden

I am gonna sue you for making such a good cider . Just kidding.. I’m so impressed for the perfection of the cider.. the taste is excellent. How come you guys have such a tasty cider… I am gonna be a Gowan’s girl now on. No more wines. Done with the wines. Unexpectedly tasty and quality is top notch. Very good for health watchers. Love you guys 🥂. I am coming to see you guys soon..

Finally found decent cider that does not taste like pure sugar. It was a fun experience, I did the Tasting ($20) and walked around the apple trees in between pours. During winter they have several fires going so it’s cozy and serene. It’s interesting to see the tree age, amazing they are 100-130+ years old.

We had the best time tasting all the ciders at Gowan’s! Truly the best cider we’ve ever had, and the owner is so kind and knowledgeable. I loved how natural the orchard was - and all the apples are handpicked! Would absolutely recommend this stop and their cider. Make sure to ask lots of questions - we learned so much ☺️

My wife enjoys cider and we bought some our last time going through Boonville at a local grocer. This time we decided to stop and have a tasting because the place looks so inviting. We had a very nice time under the shade during our cider flight. And of course we had to buy a few bottles for the road. My wife enjoys cider and says these are some of the best she ever had. Staff is very friendly. Very dog friendly as well.

Been a huge fan of Gowan's apple cider (both alcoholic and non- alcoholic) over the years. So glad that they are finally able to have their own tasting area. Such a wonderful spot, tucked into a grove of apple trees. Perfect for a picnic. They have a great selection of ciders, from tart to sweet and spiced! Truly a little bit of California magic in a bottle!

Cider tasting was a very family friendly option along CA-128. Very relaxing sitting in an old orchard boasting 100 yr+ trees sipping 7 tastings for 15$. Ciders were tasty with a mix of drier and sweeter options, everyone had different favorites. It wasn't too busy so we spent about an hour enjoying the weather and the break from the winding drive. Not serious - but a gingery cider to relieve car sickness would be awesome too.

Chad was the host and he explained the history of the farm really well. Gave us a small tour and showed us the very first Apple tree that the Gowan family had planted 150 years ago. Still standing strong. Oh and yes - they have some of the most delicious and sweetest apple cider - unlike any other that we have ever tasted. Will rate it 10/10.

Wonderful tastings! Tastings were $20, and the fee was waved with the purchase of 12 bottles. They had a huge variety to taste too. The best part - the frozen drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic). As the DD, I wish more places would offer nonalcoholic options!
