Angry Orchard

Angry Orchard in Walden, New York is like stepping into a cider lover’s paradise nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley. This sprawling orchard and cidery sits on a gorgeous 60-acre property where you can actually see where your favorite hard cider begins its journey – from apple blossom to bottle.

The facility combines a working orchard, a state-of-the-art cidery, and a welcoming tasting room that feels both rustic and modern, with panoramic views of the surrounding apple trees and rolling hills.
What makes this place special isn’t just the cider (though their seasonal and experimental brews are absolutely worth the trip). The Angry Orchard experience is all about getting your hands dirty – or at least pretending to. During harvest season, you can pick your own apples, learn about different apple varieties that go into their ciders, and even participate in traditional cider-making activities. The property also features a charming outdoor space perfect for picnicking with a flight of ciders, complete with food trucks and live music on weekends.

The innovation happening behind the scenes is pretty impressive, too. Their cider makers are constantly experimenting with wild fermentation, barrel-aging, and unique apple blends that you won’t find in stores. You might taste a funky farmhouse-style cider aged in wine barrels or a limited-edition seasonal blend that captures the essence of Hudson Valley terroir.

It’s the kind of place where casual cider drinkers become converts and cider enthusiasts discover their new obsession – all while surrounded by the very trees that make it all possible.
