Finger Lakes Area Cider Destinations Are Getting Ready to See You!

How the wheels have turned over the last 10-12 years as far as options for cocktails, , beer drinking, socializing, and travel.  Years ago, there were plenty of bars and lounges around the region for you to explore and enjoy.  Then came the craft brewery explosion which has taken off like a prairie fire all across Upstate New York.  Then craft distilleries joined the party.  And now it is time to put hard cider in the spotlight.  There are many great places to enjoy this "new kid on the block" in Upstate New York.

A cidery is a fun place to enjoy with friends and family.  With an abundance of award-winning orchards at our disposal, it is no wonder that some of the best cider works in the state are in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York.

And, it is never to early to start making a list, exploring, visiting websites, and checking out reviews so you are fully prepared when the seasons comes upon us and you are ready to hit the road.  Note that most of the cidery's on this list are at least partially open all year long, with tasting rooms, gift shops, and dining options.  Of course when the summer and fall hit, each of these, and many others, will be crowded with "leaf peepers" who will inundate our region by the thousands.

This is just the first in our regional look at breweries, cideries, and distilleries around the area.  Other galleries will follow.  So, if your favorite cidery didn't make this list please feel free to visit our Facebook page and give it a shout out (Finger Lakes Region only, for this time).
