New England Cider Company — Restaurant in Wallingford

I can't say enough good things about New England Cider! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by their incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff, who made me feel right at home. They really know their stuff and are so passionate about what they do—it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

As for the cider, it's absolutely delicious! They have such a fantastic variety, with something for everyone, whether you’re into sweet, dry, or something in between. Each sip is a perfect balance of flavor, and you can really taste the craftsmanship in every pour.

What truly sets New England Cider apart, though, is their amazing event offerings. From cider tastings to live music and seasonal celebrations, there's always something fun happening. It's the perfect spot to relax with friends, learn more about cider, and enjoy the vibrant community atmosphere.

If you're a fan of craft cider or just looking for a great place to unwind, New England Cider is a must-visit. Can't wait for...

The varieties change so frequently it is difficult to post a meaningful long term review.

Games and outdoor seating are part of the experience as well as nights dedicated to professional comedy, a musical type of bingo, and other social bonding...

Wow, what a hidden gem. This was on our way for a road trip, and was super relaxing to stop by around 12:30 on a Saturday. We sat outside under their tent and both had a flight of all of the ciders. The lady hosting was extremely nice, very helpful, which made the experience more fun. There were only a couple of people here, which was very much our vibe when it comes to drinking (less party, more chill). All of the ciders were amazing, I had a tough time choosing a favorite and was super surprised to actually like the hops one as much as I did since I don't like hops or beer. The dry barrel aged (words may be mixed up!) was probably the worst one, but I could see non-sweet fans/wine fans loving it. Definitely something for everyone, and I loved that all of them were just...
