Watch Vermont Apple Cider Being Made
At Cold Hollow Cider Mill, guests can experience one of Vermont's favorite traditions: fresh apple cider production. From our viewing area, you may have the opportunity to watch cider being pressed and enjoy a complimentary sample of our fresh Vermont apple cider.
Our cider production schedule changes throughout the year and pressing is not guaranteed during every visit. While cider is often produced on Monday and Thursday mornings, schedules may vary due to seasonal demand, apple harvest conditions, maintenance, and production requirements.
If seeing the cider-making process is an important part of your visit, we encourage you to call ahead for the most current production schedule.
Say Hello to our Hive!
Our live observation beehive is a way to say hello to our beloved pollinators. It feels good to understand how they do their critical part each year to pollinate the apple trees throughout our region.
Watch our Legendary Cider Donuts being made!
Vermont aromatherapy? Watching homemade cider donuts being made on our old school donut machine is a treat for the senses.

Try Cider Jelly - our best seller and rarely found anywhere else.
Because we make it the same way early Yankee pioneers made it: We boil down our own fresh Apple Cider and allow the natural pectin in the apples to change it to jelly. Nothing is added. So pleasingly flavorful that we use it as an all-natural base ingredient or sweetener in many of our other products.
