Sierra Cider

“My fiancee and I absolutely loved the Airbnb Sierra Cider Orchard tour, hosted by David. Our group only consisted of the two of us, but the experience felt just as thorough without a full group of ten; David had a wealth of knowledge on the history of apples and cider, and we learned a ton of new things about chemistry, flavor profiles, and the agriculture behind it. His enthusiasm behind the craft was so inspiring. The setting was beautiful in the backdrop of Mariposa and it was wonderful getting to sample all the different flavors of Sierra Cider, as we've enjoyed it before at the Twisted Cedar Tap House at the Smokin' Oak BBQ! Unfortunately there was no apple picking available as we were still early in Spring when we visited at the start of April. We also bought some bottles when we were there! Definitely will be putting some online orders to join the Cider Club. This was some of the best alcohol we've ever had--but we are big fans of sours and cider in particular. =)”

“On our way up to Yosemite today, we noticed a sign on the road, just South of Mariposa, announcing a Cider Tasting Room. I am so glad we decided to give it a go! Nick, the Tasting Room Manager, was so helpful and knowledgable, describing the various ciders available, all made from the apples of their own orchard, right there next to the tasting room! We ordered two flights, so were able to test 8 different varieties! So delicious. Ended up buying two different bottles to bring home! Thanks, Nick, and congratulations to the owners of Sierra Cider for putting together such a great business! Looking forward to going back out there in May, to enjoy the blooming of the apple trees!”

“We LOVE coming here every trip up towards Yosemite. The ciders are always fun and delicious while having such a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy them in. We have done the tour before and its really cool to learn the process of what they went through and ask questions so highly recommend checking it out. This time was especially fun watching an adorable mini pig enjoy some zoomies around the orchard which we later learned may have resulted from a jail break. We enjoyed the little convicts shenanigans regardless! Great spot for families as they usually have some goats and dogs that enjoy petting.”

“I had a great time at Sierra Cider! I booked a tour through AirBnB for 4 and we all had an amazing time. David did a great job explaining about the different types of apples he and his wife grow. He taught us about a number of things I never knew about apples and threw in some info about the history of apples in America. The end of the tour included a flight of four ciders. I thought they were all amazing, and I was impressed by the crazy ingredients he used to make some of them. I'll leave it up to you to visit to find out what he has to offer. Thanks David!”

“I can’t get over how absolutely adorable this place is! They have the cutest little farm, with animals you can interact with, and apple orchards you can walk through. There’s lots of space to spread out and enjoy your cider and snack within their property. Plus, while we were there a delicious pizza vendor was available for us to order food (which we did!). The ciders were soooo good! Lots of different flavors, options to taste all of them, and enjoy by the glass.”

“This place is a gem. We went during a Yosemite vacation on a day when our legs needed some rest. It was a fantastic respite. The new owners are a wonderful young couple that showed us every courtesy. The orchard is beautiful and peaceful; a great place for all ages. We liked every cider we tried more than the last. Can't wait to go back.”

“Found this gem when we were in the area visiting Yosemite. Absolutely delicious cider and the pup at the petting zoo was a sweetheart. Highly recommend stopping by for a visit”

“Went there today, 👎. Guys do not buy cider from there, 100% rip off. Bought a bottle of cider for $30!!!!! expensive at best yeah. Well that got worse when we went to the local supermarket in that area and came across the exact same bottle in the cider section, $15, complete rip off, DON’T BUY CIDER. And for the owner we we the Australian and uk family you ripped off, we even gave them a gift of a toy kangaroo 🦘🤨”
