UNIQUE
HARD CIDER
free tastings
Open 7 Days A Week
In the works since 1976 and finally available to the public! The Apple Barn Cider House now offers – for the very first time – hard ciders crafted on-site for free sample and purchase. Unlike many other hard ciders in the market, we take special care to retain as much of the fresh apple cider taste as possible – utilizing a sterile filtration method rather than a full pasteurization process. This allows the cider to retain its clean, smooth, and crisp aspects rather than the general “cooked apple” flavor you sometimes get from other makers.

FAQs
Tastings are FREE to all those over 21 years of age with valid photo ID.
Unfortunately, if you forget your ID and are over 21 (+) years of age we will not be able to serve you. State law requires that a customer present a valid photo ID prior to sampling or purchasing alcohol in the state of TN.
Of course! Anyone is welcome to visit with us and also tour our winery. We welcome families and friends of all ages – you simply must be 21 (+) years of age and present a valid photo ID to sample or purchase our products.
Our wines contain no gluten – however the yeast we use to ferment them comes from a source that does contain gluten so we cannot make the official claim that they are gluten free. All of our wines are vegan friendly!
Our locations are now pet-friendly! We can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend!
