“ Probably the biggest selection of ciders I have ever seen. Yet alone seen any company all produce. There is defiently a cider here for everyone. Cute little space, offering glasses, flights, bottles, etc. No hot food, but offer small snacks. Great and big outdoor space. Parking lot in back and on the side, plus some street parking. Nice staff. Overall, liked their ciders and the uniqueness of each like the oak or lavender. Also loved the cherry cider! I would go back, these pack a punch though, so be prepared! ”

“ The best cider around! The tasting room space is inviting, as is their patio, and the flights are a reasonably priced way to try several different varieties. Absolutely recommend. ”
“ This was a new adventure for us and we loved it! The hostess was extremely friendly and explained all the ciders. My husband and I each selected four ciders to try. The brute had 36 apples in it and was 6.9% alcohol. My favorite was the iced cider. It had a nice clean and refreshing taste. Even if you do not like cider beer, I guarantee you have not had this. It is definitely a must try! We will be back! ”
“ Great local cider tasting room. Almost all ciders are hard and ingredients seem to be grown nearby at Washington Island, WI. They have a nice selection of cheeses and snacks as well. They have a wide variety of options. Try talking with the very knowledgeable staff. You’ll learn a lot and narrow in your options to something you like. I recommend trying a flight of small glasses. ”
“ Stopped by after seeing their cider product in the nearby coffee shop down the road, and so glad we did. The server was incredibly helpful and let us try samples of many drinks. We then bought six bottles of cider and the carrying tote bag. Everything tasted amazing, especially the lavender cider. Got a couple of gifts here. Didn't have a flight because it was too early in the morning haha but would definitely come back next time we were in door county. They also informed us there is a sister cider bar in Milwaukee. ”
“ My group went to Island Orchard as a part of a bachelorette weekend celebration! The cider was phenomenal, the service was great, and we had a blast! A big thank you to Ashtyn and the team for helping to accommodate our large group! Can't wait for our next visit! ”
“ It had been a few years since I stopped in, and was pleasantly surprised by their improvements to the space and cider offerings...it was always very good but now it’s even better with more space for tastings and cider flavors on tap. There is such a great variety! We enjoyed the four small-batch ciders in our flight. Can’t wait to come back and build a charcuterie picnic to take with our next bottle of cider! ”
