Cherry Yuzu on the move. 🍒

That's 2,200 pounds of cider headed out the door.

Head cidermaker Ashlee is loading up cans bound for local shops and restaurants, helping make sure your next Cherry Yuzu is exactly where you need it to be.

A lot of work goes into getting cider from tank to can to your glass. Give some love to the folks behind the scenes keeping everything moving. 🍻

It's World Cider Day! 🍎

Let's take a moment to appreciate the wonder that is our favorite beverage! Cider can be crisp and dry, fruity and bright, wild and funky, or somewhere in between. It reflects the apples, the people who make it, and the places it comes from.

We're proud to be part of a growing community of cider makers, apple growers, and cider drinkers who believe great cider belongs right alongside great beer and wine.

If you've ever visited the tasting room, picked some up to go, brought friends out to try something new, or simply told someone, "You should really try cider," thank you.

As usual, we're open Thursday 4-9, Friday and Saturday 12-9, and Sunday 11-6. Come say hi and raise a glass!

Happy World Cider Day from all of us at Ponderosa. 🍏🍎🍻

Jon's Favorite Cider: Original Gold

If there's one thing everyone knows about Jon, Ponderosa's Sales and Distribution Director, it's that he's happiest outside. Whether he's fly fishing a remote alpine stream, riding mountain bike trails, or exploring the backcountry with his dogs, he takes every opportunity he can to get into the mountains and enjoy the outdoors.

Jon appreciates experiences that are authentic, uncomplicated, and well-crafted—qualities that make Original Gold his go-to cider. With its crisp, classic apple character and refreshing finish, it's the perfect companion after a long day spent outside.
Much like Jon himself, Original Gold doesn't need to be flashy. It's reliable, approachable, and always enjoyable. After a day on the water or a weekend in the mountains, you'll often find Jon relaxing with an Original Gold and reflecting on another great day in the mountains.

A quick heads up: the tasting room will be closed today, May 30.

Our crew all has family commitments this weekend, and we believe pretty strongly that the people who make this place what it is deserve to show up for the people they love.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 and to everyone celebrating big moments this weekend! 🎓

Thanks so much for understanding. We’ll be open again on Sunday and would love to see you then.
