Bill was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the history behind the cider mill & everything behind it. The tasting room was great. The staff was great as was the food. We will definitely come back.

The owner’s passion for his business overflows throughout and is a real inspiration. Wonderful and informative moment. Trying to go when the old mill wheel is running would be even better. Includes a tasting session at the end and highly recommend the cider and the traditional hard cider.

Thank you for joining me on the Private Tour With Owner. Your groups was loads of fun and I enjoyed sharing our history with you and your family. The next time you are in the States I hope you will re-book so I can show you all that we will have accomplished while you are away. Cheers!

Wonderful Tour with the owner This place has great history and there is much more to it than we imagined. Mr Michaels gave us a great tour and we got to see how the water runs the turbine and all the old leather straps drive the press. Who knew there so many apple varieties. Lots to do, very friendly. A must see when in the area!
