Potter's Craft Cider

Potter's Craft Cider Our cider is crisp, tart, and refreshing with a pronounced fruit aroma and a dry finish. Our tasting room is just south of Charlottesville off Route 29.
(300)

Nothing goes into our cider but fresh pressed local apples and yeast- we don't add any sugar, water, or flavorings that are 'supposed to taste like apples'. We rely on the flavor, aroma, and acidity that comes from our apples, and we think Virginia has some of the best apples in the world. The result is a very drinkable cider- by the bottle or the wine glass - that pairs well with food, is natural

ly gluten-free, and is as enjoyable in the summer as it is in the fall. Offering craft cider, wine, and non alcoholic options with snacks and frequent food trucks. Featuring live music, plentiful shade, and generous outdoor spaces. In light of the health risk posed by COVID-19, our tasting room is taking advanced sanitation measures to safely seat our guests indoors and outdoors.
