We were traveling from Ohio to Williamsburg passing through Richmond and we were looking for something unique on our route. Blue Bee fit the bill and had a tour that worked into our travel schedule We met Maddie who was an excellent tour guide and really knows the history and the process. She had great preparation and answered all our questions from a group of 9 tourists. The post-tour tasting was excellent and gave us the opportunity to "try before you buy". We took some "souvenirs" home with us to enjoy until we return again in the future.

Thanks so much for the kind words, and for visiting! The "souvenirs" are the best part of this line of work :-) We look forward to seeing you again soon. Cheers!

We loved this tour. Been on many but this was one of our favorites. Very informative. Maddie was our guide and she was polite and knows her stuff. We got the last bottle of Fireball till next year.

We're so grateful to read these kind words! Maddie is a star (and says hello). We sure miss that ginger-infused brandy dessert cider, but we start the new batch this week. Cheers!

Interesting experience at this urban cidery. The tour was a walk through their renovated, historic building and we had the tasting at one of their wooden picnic benches. We had never participated in a "tasting" and didn't know what to expect. Be aware that the cider has some alcoholic content and is not what you would buy at a farm stand or in the supermarket. On location is also a small cheese shop where you can purchase a platter to go with the cider. It's worth the money to have some bread, cheese, and fruit to go with the drinks.
