WHY: Tucked in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Wild Hare Cider is born and bred. As a boutique micro-cidery, Wild Hare started from a desire to craft something with their hands, and let time and nature work together through modern fermentation techniques. Wild Hare's fruit comes directly from their orchard, and the pressed apple juice transforms into a product that, inspired by a drink America's forefathers may have delighted in, is both delicious and interesting. Wild Hare's ciders are unique and not comparable to anything that is typically found on the shelf next to the six packs at the grocery store. Wild Hare Cidery also offers a tasting room located in the idyllic town of Bluemont, Virginia, where guests can try some of their most exciting ciders.
