1. Lattin's Country Cider Mill and Farm, Olympia
Since 1976, this farm and cider mill has continued to grow fresh produce, make delicious cider, and sell freshly baked goods. They're open every day but Sunday, and fall is the perfect time to go.
2. Tieton Cider Works, Yakima
Tieton Cider Works uses only Washington fruit to make their ciders, much of it with fruit from their family farm and cider orchard, Harmony Orchards. They're open every Friday through Sunday for cider-sipping, and they often host events with live music and games.
3. Dragon's Head Cider, Vashon
Located on the beautiful Vashon Island, Dragon's Head Cider's tasting room is open on weekends. Their ciders are made completely traditionally, meaning apple juice concentrate is never used.
4. Alpenfire Cider, Port Townsend
Alpenfire is an organic orchard and cider mill located just outside the beautiful Port Townsend. The orchard is also a wildlife sanctuary, so they ask that you leave pets at home when you visit. The tasting room is open on weekends or during the week by appointment.
5. Finnriver Farm & Cidery, Chimacum
For "apple cider near me" on the Olympic Peninsula 12 miles south of Port Townsend, this peaceful farm is perfect for visiting on a fall day. Their cider is made in their barn, and the tasting room is open 7 days a week. They offer non-alcoholic options as well as hard cider.
