Cider Tastings & Orchard Tours

Enjoy hard cider tastings from the regions top cider makers then take a shuttle trip to a local orchard to learn about the apple industry in the Shenandoah Valley. You can also just enjoy the tasting and opt out of the add-on tour. Shuttle tours of the orchard and facilities will follow an hour of cider tastings at Noon, 1:15 and 2:30 pm. A limit of 24 tickets are available per orchard tour session.

During the orchard tour, guides will dispense a wealth of information on the planting and growing of fruit trees, temperature sensitivity for blossoms, spraying and pruning and using the latest “green” methodology to protect the trees and promote tree and fruit growth, when and how to harvest, and much more.

The cider tastings will take place indoors and outdoors at Shawnee Springs Market on Senseny Road while the orchard tours are outdoors at Mackintosh Fruit Farm in Clarke County. Please wear appropriate footwear.
