This is a fantastic Cidery. The setup is great, with lots of outdoor seating, and some covered seating as well. Plenty of heaters out and a firepit as well. The Cidertender we had was awesome, I can't remember her name though, and I even asked about it specifically. But she was awesome. The Cider itself was a little hit or miss for me, but that's to be expected when you try 10 different things :) The ones that do hit are really great though. We walked out with a fair amount of product. Would definitely go back.

Driving past the rows of fruit trees before reaching the cidery definitely gives this place an air of legitimacy. The guy who helped us out also gave us fresh peaches from his own orchard. They were very generous in letting us try samples. In fact, I think I drank a whole sampler. And then, they gave me a shot of bourbon. They also have nonalcoholic pear and apple ciders for the nonalcoholics in our group.
There was a band playing when I went. The whole thing looks so picturesque, I felt like I was in a painting 🖼. I also bought two glasses and they are very solid. Much better than the cheap ones I ordered from Amazon. I should have bought a set of the mini ones too.
I also found that they sell Hemly Cider at Trader Joe's which is good because I can't often make the trek out here. Props to whoever is doing the ordering at TJ's. I really like the cherry pear cider and they had this festive spiced pear chai one around the holidays. They get both 12oz and 16oz cans. Regarding the seaweed cider, you can actually taste the organic seaweed or whatever ecological description was on the can. Wondrous!

If you are looking for an unbeaten path to relax with cold pear ciders with friends and family, this is for you! Hemly is in the middle of an orchard surrounded by pears, tomato fields, and rows of corn. The view is breathtaking, and cider varieties are awesome! My favorites are jalapeños, lemonade, pink lady, and of course, the original. Must go place! Walk around pear orchard! Games for the children and juices, too!

The cider-tasting room is tucked away in a pear orchard off Highay 160. It is a pretty drive to the tasting room. The building is beautiful with lots of outdoor seating, a gazebo, croquet set, a jenga game, and other comforts. The staff is very friendly. The lady with whom I spoke is very knowledgeable about the many varieties of ciders, the history of the business (it's been in operation for some 160 years), and local information concerning the surrounding area in the Delta. The ciders are terrific. I would recommend purchasing a "flight," which is a series of small, taster glasses of each type of cider. I highly recommend stopping here and enjoying the cider and the peacefulness of the atmosphere.
