A cider hall with a full café and a calendar that never sits still: Apple Annie, Honeycrisp Bolt, pizza, doughnuts, and dueling pianos. Gateway to wine country, not a quiet orchard sip.

Getting here
Our partner can drive you to Riverhead Ciderhouse
A black-car SUV with a driver, door to door. Ask for a price and our black-car partner will come back to you — which also settles the one problem a tasting day cannot solve on its own, that somebody has to stay sober to drive.
Pick the car
The quieter ride of the two, and the one people picture when they book a black car.
