April News!

Posted on March 31, 2012 by Claire| Comments Off

• The orchard is blooming! It’s just beautiful now with thousands and thousands of fluffy pink and white blossoms. See photos on the “pictures” page, or stop by on April 6th and take the free walking tour!

• We’re having a “Bloomin Sale” on Saturday, April 7th . We’ll be open from 10:00 – 5:00. We’re offering a 25% discount on all purchases of a case or more of cider. Plus, Cidermaker Tim is clearing out the last bottles of some of his limited run ciders – we’re offering a $10/bottle sale on these limited ciders.

• The 2011 “Kingston Black” cider is now ready for sale. It’s an excellent cider (the only single variety that we produce) with a wonderful apple aroma, the perfect balance of sharpness and sweetness, and a crisp taste that can only be achieved with these remarkable apples. We have bottle this cider still in 500 ML bottles for $14 and sparkling in 750 ml bottles for $22. It’s worth the trip to Jefferson!

• We’ll be joining other members of the Frederick Wine Trail at the annual “Toast to Frederick” wine (and cider!) tasting weekend. The event, held at the Frederick County Fairgrounds on April 21st and 22nd, brings together 8 Frederick County wineries, plus some great food and craft vendors and musical entertainment.
