Whether you're a beer aficionado or a wine connoisseur, cider offers a refreshing and delightful alternative, available in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties, perfect for those who appreciate craft beverages of all kinds.

Cold Hollow Cider Mill is a great, family-friendly stop on your way to Stowe. While they are known as the top New England producer of fresh apple cider, they also serve authentic hard cider as well. Serving up delicious, traditional cider the real old-fashioned way, Cold Hollow presses year round with a traditional rack and cloth press built in the 1920s. You can view the process, sample their fresh cider and even do a hard cider tasting.
