Hard Cider

Great place to visit. The cider sampling was fun. Apple fritters were amazing and lots of great apples to pick. It is a bit crowded but worth it.

What a gem! All the workers are super friendly, lots of good stuff in the market, great ciders and wine. Beautiful views!

An absolute must visit! Mercier Orchards is an absolutely beautiful destination with stunning grounds and views. Despite visiting during peak hours when the orchard and market were bustling with visitors, everything ran like clockwork. The staff was incredibly organized, attentive, and kept the entire property spotless and clean. Even with the heavy crowds, they had everything completely under control, which made the experience relaxing and stress-free. ​The market itself is a highlight. They carry virtually every apple-related treat imaginable, from fresh-pressed cider and warm fried pies to apple butter, baked goods, and pantry staples. Whether you're coming for the views, the treats, or a fun day out, this place delivers. Highly recommended!

Wow, easily one of the most beautiful Orchard I’ve ever been to. They were so kind to let our golden retriever come in since the weather outside wasn’t very pleasant. They gave him a free biscuit and of course I gave him a bit of my apple cider doughnut. We will definitely be returning.

A must stop when you're in blue ridge, just make sure not to come on a full stomach! An absolutely massive indoor facility and beautiful outdoor orchards with charming irrigation ponds near the road. The food and drinks are all amazing and you'll never know what incredible cider-inspired gifts you'll find! It is worth the trip from Atlanta!

10/10 highly recommend this place best apple pies and cider also during season love apple picking this was my second trip there and I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful scenery, delicious fried pies, great ciders, a cafe and gift shop! We always stop by when we’re in town!

My large friend group of 25 came on a Saturday and had the best time! We enjoyed everything Mercier Orchard had to offer from the cider flights and the bakery to the shop & tractor ride. They worked very swiftly with us and the crowd was not too bad. Every single employee we encountered greeted us with kindness - from meeting the President of the Orchard, Rob, to our tractor tour guide, Laurie, & everyone in between. The staff made this such a special experience for us. The Orchard itself is extremely scenic and so beautiful & well cared for. The boiled peanuts & in-house made cider were some of our favorite parts. It was so special getting to learn the history of the Orchard while enjoying all it had to offer! A must stop during your time in Blue Ridge!

Update 10/31/26: came in to get our favorite hot apple cider and some donuts, and ended up taking a tractor tour of the orchard. Beautiful ride and informative guide who filled us in on some history of the orchard. Only checked out the store on this trip, but very good selection of products, and probably the best hot apple cider I have ever had! Very friendly and helpful staff as well!

Very very busy on a Wednesday afternoon! Highly recommended for a fun stop for apples, sweet wine , cider and baked goods.
