Bring your whole family out for music or a fun event! See you soon, cheers! The Cidery…
Winterset Cidery is nestled in the rolling hills of Madison County, Iowa, approximately 30 minutes southwest of Des Moines. This area also lists the famed “Covered Bridges of Madison County,” as well as the new $2 million+ John Wayne Museum among its attractions, along with several historical sites, wineries, m

useums, and other things to do and see. The Cidery is the first of its kind in Iowa built in a post and beam “glorified barn” adjacent to an apple orchard with over 30 varieties of heirloom, cider, and dessert apple trees. The site also boasts some beautiful scenery. The spacious tasting room at the Cidery is comfortable and informal with vaulted ceilings and wood floors, or you might enjoy the view of the orchard and country side from the roomy outside deck. It’s the perfect location to enjoy a taste of the heartland with a few of your friends or in larger groups for gatherings or events. Our hard ciders…
Come enjoy a taste of the heartland at Winterset Cidery! We make craft hard apple cider right here in Iowa. Our ciders rely only on the apples themselves; we do not add any sugar or water like many mass produced hard ciders. Until our own orchard matures, we are buying fresh pressed apple juice from area orchards here in the Midwest. After fermentation our ciders are aged several months before we serve them to bring out the best flavors possible, never rushed or mass produced. When we do add other flavors, like raspberry, hops, cherry, and others, we use real ingredients, and we blend them on a very small batch basis to better control the flavor of the cider. We never use artificial flavors or ingredients. Come enjoy a taste of the heartland. HOURS
