Cidery

Blue Toad Hard Cider

Blue Toad Hard Cider is a craft cidery and taproom nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Nelson County, Virginia, producing award-winning dry hard ciders made exclusively from locally grown apples sourced from Western New York and Nelson County. The cidery takes a farm-to-can approach with all-natural, handcrafted ciders, including its decorated Paddy Green, which has earned a Gold medal at the Great Lakes International Cidery and Perry Competition and a Silver at the Virginia Governor's Cup. Visitors to the cider farm can enjoy pints, flights, and growler fills in the taproom, with happy hour specials, Sunday deals, and Heartland Wines also available for tasting and bottle sales. The property is a lively community hub, hosting live music, food trucks, festivals, and signature events like the Rockfish River Rodeo. Guests can join the Blue Toad Cider Club for bi-monthly shipments, and the on-site Cider Hall serves as an outdoor venue for weddings, corporate retreats, and other gatherings with scenic mountain views.
