About this tour
When Jake from our team checked out this 45-minute tasting in New Orleans, we found ourselves in a proper working cidery where the owners actually make their stuff on-site. Jon and Diana walk you through four generous pours of their dry, fizzy ciders—each one shaped by New Orleans' heat and humidity in ways you'll taste straight away. It's a tight, focused experience in a spot that doubles as a bar, so the vibe is relaxed and unpretentious. You'll leave understanding what sets their approach apart from typical cider production, and if cheese's your thing, most days they've got pairings to match.
Highlights
- Four 3oz samples of house-made cider with genuine producer insight
- Learn how New Orleans' climate directly influences their fermentation techniques
- Dry, effervescent styles—no sweet stuff masking the craft
- Cheese pairings available most days (not hot food, but solid)
- Small-batch feel; you're tasting in an actual working production space
- Owners present and candid about their process versus industry standard
- Wheelchair accessible; public transport nearby
What to expect
You'll roll in to a space that's part cidery, part bar—casual and working, not precious. Jake and the team settled in for about three-quarters of an hour of actual tasting time, though the 45-minute window is realistic. Jon or Diana will walk you through each pour, explaining how the New Orleans heat and humidity shape fermentation in ways you won't find in cooler cider regions. You're tasting dry stuff here, so expect crisp, mineral notes rather than jammy sweetness. The production happens right there, so you'll see tanks and equipment as part of the scene.
Pacing is unhurried—they're not rushing you through. If you grab cheese pairings (check they're on the day you visit), those pair neatly. The crowd skews adult and genuinely interested; it's not a bender-focused bar. The real strength is talking to people who actually made what you're drinking.
Good to know
This is for adults who actually want to understand cider-making, not just drink something sweet. The owners' presence and willingness to tweak tasting times if you ask is rare. Wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly (service animals). Small group, intimate setting.
You must be 21+; no kids or pregnant travellers. Hours are Wednesday–Saturday for regular service; outside those days, you need to book a guided tasting. No hot food—cheese only. New Orleans heat means the space can feel warm. It's a bar setting, so if you're uncomfortable around alcohol culture, this isn't your spot.
Four 3oz pours are included. Cheese pairings cost extra and aren't always available—check Instagram or Facebook before you go. Nearest public transport is walkable. Book ahead if you're visiting outside Wed–Sat or want a custom time slot.
