Showalter’s Orchard & Greenhouse

“My now wife and I had our Nov 2024 wedding at Showalter's Greenhouse. Showalter’s was one of two venues on our short list, and we’re very glad we decided to go with them. We wanted a mountain view during the ceremony and the terrace was absolutely perfect. The greenhouse is gorgeous and looks amazing both in person and in photographs and was the perfect backdrop. We served cider and apple cider donuts and our guests loved both. It felt so unique and special! Working with everyone at the venue was incredibly easy, and they were so kind and welcoming to us and felt like they really wanted to make sure our day went well. We booked all of the AirBnBs on the property and would definitely recommend doing so. The “bridal” suite off of the Greenhouse was great for staging and getting a moment away during the wedding, having the extra space for actually getting ready was a very good choice (especially with larger wedding parties and lots of people doing hair and makeup). We also stayed in one of the AirBnBs the night before and afterwards, and being on the property was incredibly convenient as hotels in Harrisonburg are a bit of a hike. The AirBnBs were cute and worked great for our purposes! We stayed in one of the AirBnBs through to the Monday after our Saturday wedding which was great and made it so that we didn’t have to rush getting everything out the morning after the wedding.

“Wonderful place! We stayed in the Orchard Oasis for our 5th wedding anniversary and “perfect” is an understatement. Such a gorgeous spot tucked away in apple tree rows. Private and secluded but with amenities that make you feel like you’re in a boutique hotel. I can’t say enough great things! Jenny at the tasting room was wonderful and welcoming and the hard ciders were delicious. “Off The Press” was my personal favorite and I can’t wait to drink the cans when we get home. Already looking forward to planning our next getaway to this relaxing place!”

“We enjoyed our afternoon here. Very busy this weekend. The donuts were extremely yummy. A large group of us hung out for several hours. The shop has hot toddy mixes, jams, apple butter, soap, apples, tee shirts, and various other items. You can buy apples pre picked OR walk the orchard and pick your own. 🍎🍏🍎 The views are spectacular!! Another plus, you can bring your dog...on a leash, of course. Today there was also a wedding that took place on the property. 🥂”

“My sister and I visited the Cidery May 2024. So good. We are very picky on our ciders and liked most of them. We ended up purchasing 4 bottles. The ciders were crisp and clean. Tasting of apples, not carbonation. Well balanced. Bartender was very helpful. The tasting room was clean, nice, airy. The grounds were beautiful. Amazing views. Would definitely recommend.”

“We love photographing at Showalter's! From a beautiful wedding in 2024 to several engagement sessions and upcoming weddings, every season and moment there has been perfectly picturesque, truly a photographer’s playground! We hope to return again and again!”

“Awesome apple picking experience! Wonderful hosts both in the store and at the cider tasting room. Cider tastings were delicious, and Julie's accurate description of each cider was spot on!!!! Such beautiful mountain valley views, especially in the fall!!”

“Went in August. Picked a bag of apples, which we later turned into apple pies. Had a delish apple donut and a flight of cider. (flight: dry-hopped, VA cherry, VA blackberry, and VA strawberry). Would definitely go again if in the area.”

“Very friendly staff, amazing mountain views, and phenomenal apple cider donuts! We had a blast here and can’t wait to come again. (& there was a beautiful dog there too!)”
