Black Diamond Farm and Cider

“Sometimes a nondescript sign leads to the most of beloved places..... where we encountered rosey and Ian ... full of character and education. We pulled up and saddled to a bar stool. Ian proceeded to lead us through a curated delivery of both dry and sweet tastings.... followed by the varietal tasting.. yes three tastings in all.. to be honest we stayed more for the company but the cider more than held our attention... we walked away with some bottles but not enough... we will back to experience the culmination of great conversation, cider and and cuddling obliged by Rosey the dog .. just thankful Ian was willing to share his old faithful sidekick for an hour....”

“Hidden gem! We weren’t sure we were in the right place on this quiet farm with no crowd, but the cider maker himself greeted us and welcomed us inside. His small tasting room seats just a handful of people, but the experience was great. He explained each variety, and shared fascinating local history. The cider was good, and we learned a lot too. The rosé, made from red-fleshed apples, was our favorite. We’d gladly return.”

“Before coming to Black Diamond, my wife and I thought we knew what there was to know about ciders. After an hour of one-on-one conversations with the owner, we left with an expanded understanding of different types of cider, the contents and acidity levels, and what makes craft cider unique. Ian, thank you for your treatment, we appreciate your hospitality so very much!! Our pup, Pilot, loved his time too.”

“Our tour and tasting at Black Diamond was a fantastic experience! The ciders are delicious; we purchased several bottles to go. The family that owns the orchard is very kind and knowledgeable. We spent an afternoon hanging out at the cider shack, which is a very peaceful experience. I look forward to returning when in the FLX region again!”

“First of all- they have delicious and varied types of Cider! This place is a real authentic Cidery, where the cider is made from the beautiful Orchards that you drive by on your way to the Tasting Room. Not your typical commercialized experience. Family owned with an interesting backstory, and the people couldn’t be nicer!”

“Had an incredible time here. The cider tasting flight was fantastic, probably the best cider I’ve had. Everyone was super knowledgeable and friendly, the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend if you're in the area! We even grabbed a few ciders to take home with us they were so good.”

“Great place super friendly family. Very knowledgeable on cider and many topics. Veda was very nice and welcoming. We will definitely return there was not a cider that we didn't enjoy. They orchard was beautiful and amazingly maintained.”

“What a cute little find in the finger lakes! We tried the sweeter flight and they were all SOO delicious! Mostly the newest bottled Rose! Great light ciders and sweet, kind owners!”
