Who says apple cider is just for fall? Sure, it’s a harvest season classic. But, with its crisp, light flavor, it’s also the perfect summer sip for picnics and BBQ.
And guess what? I found your ideal summer escape: Brooklyn Cider House in New Paltz, New York! Just 1.5 to 2 hours from NYC, this spot is a breath of fresh air. What makes it extra special? They grow their own heirloom apples and produce their delicious ciders right there on-site at Twin Star Orchards. Talk about farm-to-glass!
While their tasting bar and retail store at the entrance are great, the real magic happens when you venture a little deeper. Beyond the bar, a short path leads you down to a tranquil small lake nestled right in the middle of their apple farm. Imagine this: a perfectly peaceful afternoon, wood-fired pizza, a juicy hamburger, and a refreshing cider in hand. It’s the ultimate chill-out zone.
I ended up buying 6 bottles of their apple ciders and planning to go back for July 5th Pig Roast Party to celebrate July 4th weekend!
So, are you ready to trade the city hustle for some lakeside cider sipping?
