‘Tis the season for pumpkin patch photos, apple picking, and cider sipping.
Fall is so much more than a season of cooler temps, fire-hued foliage, and cozy sweaters—it’s a state of mind, bolstered by an array of thematic and tasty treats that make it one of the most enjoyable times of year.

No matter the preference in preparation, these are 12 cideries across the country serving up not only good bites and sips, but also stunning orchard views or iconic tasting rooms to appreciate everything the versatile fruit (with a whopping 7,500 varieties!) has to offer.
