Hard Cider
Hard Cider and wine are available year-round here at Mercier Orchards. We were one of the first orchards in Georgia to grow, press, ferment, and bottle our own ciders. Throughout the year, we offer more than a dozen hard ciders, from classic favorites, like Grumpy Granny, to specialty seasonal flavors, like Jalapeacho. We also produce our very own seasonal wines, and carry a wide variety of local wines, meads, and more. Come in, enjoy a tasting flight, and you’ll be “hard-pressed” not to take some home.
Canned Ciders
Grumpy Granny
Grumpy Granny cider is so good even grandma couldn’t help but sneak a sip (though she’d never admit it!) Made with sour Granny Smiths, it’s dry, tart, and grandma disapproved.
Just Peachy
Our Just Peachy cider tastes like sunshine and long summer days on the back porch. Sweet peaches with a touch of southern sugar – Enjoy a glass and smile, after all, isn’t life Just Peachy?
