Visiting the Finger Lakes Cider House

Pets

Dogs are allowed to visit us at the Cider House, but are not allowed inside the tasting room, as we are a food service establishment and must comply with health department regulations. We also ask that you do not take your dog onto the farm where we grow fresh produce and u-pick crops and have our own tender livestock to protect. Dogs are allowed on our lawn/picnic area and must be kept on a leash at all times. We also ask that you please clean up after your furry friends. All humanoids are welcome to roam freely :)

Outside Food

If you are looking to eat during your visit at the Cider House, we ask that you do not bring your own food. We offer farm-to-table food every day with the option to enjoy share plates, lunch items, & desserts!

Outside Alcohol

We serve a range of ciders to entice and satisfy most palates!  We also serve a rotation of house-made non-alcoholic sodas and shrubs, and keep juices, teas + coffees on hand.  Please do not bring alcohol with you to our establishment. Drinking in the parking lot is prohibited. Please note that if your group is visibly intoxicated, we will likely serve you our lovely non-alcoholic beverages.

Ride Shares

Ride shares do not typically operate in our rural area, so please plan ahead. If you are dropped off by a ride share please make sure you have a ride set up for your return as ride shares will not come to pick up at our location.
