I enjoyed learning about the history of the facility and the vibe of the outdoor courtyard. The cheese shop is awesome too!

My husband and I took this tour and tasting yesterday. Brian was our tour guide. We new very little about cider, we were just looking for something fun to do in Richmond. We made a great choice! Brian was entertaining and gave us a great education on cider making and Blue Bee. The tasting was fun and we got to sample 8 different ciders. We had the opportunity to purchase some to take home which we excitedly did. Highly recommend. One suggestion: do the tour during the week so you get the time and attention to make your experience the best.
