Rootwood Cider Taproom - at the Orchard

The Rootwood Taproom has great ciders with some really nice creative variations. Their apples are all Estate grown on the family property and make for some great dry to slightly semi sweet cider options. The property is beautiful, casual and a great way to spend the afternoon. I definitely would recommend Rootwood and will return when we are in the area.

So worth the drive up to this amazing place! Staff is so helpful and caring. I can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area. If you're not, join their shipment program to get the best cider ever shipped to your door! The grapefruit cider cocktail was out of this world good! I'm kicking myself for not buying more bottles when I was there. Guess I'll have to order some online instead! Thank Rootwood Cider for producing one of the best ciders out there!

Rootwood is such a great place to visit. All these delicious ciders in a beautiful orchard. A great Agri-Tourism experience with such a great cider offering.

2022 - Update - My last review was when the taproom was in downtown Manson and this was my first visit to the Orchard - I absolutely love this location. It is a cute and cozy tasting room set in the Orchard - we visited in the snow in winter and it was so peaceful and gave such a warm feeling despite the weather outdoors. We did a tasting, bought some bottles, and the best part - had some hot spiced cider to warm us up in the winter weather! I can't wait to visit again in the summer! This is a great stop for a change of pace from the winery visits in the area. The day we stopped they had a flight sampler of 4 different ciders and it was hard to pick a favorite! They all had their own standout flavors - perfect combinations of crispness, tartness, sweetness & honey. The atmosphere is great for enjoying a glass while visiting with friends both inside and outside on the sunny patio. It was very cool to hear the family story from one of the pourers, they have a great vision on how to bring the apple farm into the modern day by adding a cider producing and tasting room. Very worth a visit - we will be back to sample more tastes and glasses on future visits to the area!

Phenomenal cidery and picnic spot nestled amongst the orchards in the hills above Manson. Beautiful lawn and plenty of comfortable outdoor seating. Very dog-friendly. Cider is excellent and they serve a lovely charcuterie plate if that's your thing. We made multiple visits on our week long stay in the Chelan area.

Great experience. All the ciders I tried were delicious. My personal favorite was the pollinator. Beautiful area, great service. Highly recommend. Also side note- get the apple chips with honey cream cheese. Perfection!

Very yummy ciders! We tried the Harrison, pollinator, and rosemary grapefruit in the flight. We liked pollinator the best. We also had apple chips with cream cheese — such a fun snack! Loved the scenery and decor as well.

While in the area, we decided to do something a bit different and do a cider tasting. The venue was great with awesome views with indoor and outdoor seating. Ciders were great.
