"Millstone makes hard cider and mead out of a refurbished 1840 gristmill in Monkton, 30 miles north of Baltimore. Tours and tastings are offered on Saturdays and Sundays for $5, with draft and bottle sales on Fridays. Millstone produces about a dozen types of cider, including Rhuberry, a strawberry and rhubarb blen, and Cherrykriek, which blends Maryland sour cherries." - Travis Mitchell

This place is amazing. The building is beautiful, the tasting room has an awesome atmosphere, and the people that run it are just the nicest. Plus the dog is super cute. Bring your own food, enjoy some awesome naturally barrel fermented cider and go home with a bottle or two. A must visit.

What a charming place! The cider is delicious and we went on a little tour that was so interesting. They are alcohol scientists! The place is gorgeous and I loved hanging out and trying a few ciders and learning about the process.

Let's start off with the obvious, this place is gorgeous. Old farmhouse in the woods, it's beautiful. The tour was free, a lot of fun, and included a lot of samples. Ciders can be purchased to consume on premises and they have great seating with BYO food so you can have a wonderful picnic. Worth the drive if you like farmhouse ciders (these ciders are NOT sweet like the ones that you may be familiar with).

Amazing location in a very old, colonial building, giving off an incredible rustic vibe. Tours are a lot of fun, as you get to learn about the history of the building and the history of the cidery. Very good, old style ciders, not the sweetened, canned things in liquor stores. A little tart, but very refreshing. Excellent selection of mead too.

Cider here is expensive but some of the best I've ever had. Take the tour and try a bunch, then get one for a special occasion. The Gingeroot is my favorite - age it for a few months if you want it drier as it will finish its bottle fermentation and round out a bit. Their building is a plus - they've done an amazing job restoring an old grist mill.

THIS is a premier fall activity in the DC-Baltimore Metro Area. With nationally acclaimed ciders, Millstone is a must-visit. The tour is free and there are ample tastings following. Upstairs in the rustic, unfinished mill is a bar and outdoor patio for tasting. Kinderhook snacks are for sale or you can bring your own food. Bottles are for purchase and returning a bottle gives you a deposit on another bottle.

Had an incredible time today at Millstone. I've enjoyed every cider I've had from them prior and was even more impressed with the offerings I had not tried yet. On top of that the place is absolutely gorgeous and rustic and the employees were incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. HUGE Millstone fan right here.

Was hoping for a nice set of six examples of local ciders for 30 bucks. Our cider tender had to first check the six glasses out for stains or lipstick. I don't like the idea of someone verbally questioning the cleanliness of their own glasses. Anyway, I do appreciate the trouble folks go to to make these brews and there is no doubt that these ciders are "different", but I'll take my medicines from a doctor.
