This was one of the best evenings/nights we have had in a long time. Not only was the place beautiful, the food was fantastic, the drinks excellent, the band was straight groovy, AND they let us camp on site in our RV!! They are dog friendly and offer other drinks besides cider. This really was one of the best nights out of our week long road trip. Would definitely go back.

Breathtaking views; exquisite cider, and incredibly warm and friendly service from the people! In my spare time I have been studying Finger Lakes region wine for 6 years; after tasting South Hill Cider’s String Theory, Prelude and Full Blossom, I’m going to do the same with cider. Not only was the set up visually gorgeous from the landscape down to the details of the string lights and the fire pits and the local art inside, the cider was outstanding. South Hill exposed me to the craft of cider, and much like wine we can learn much about place through tasting cider and appreciating the thoughtfulness and myriad decisions that go into their production. I brought a bottle home to NYC to share with my friends. And pro tip: check out Stay on Orchard Hill on HipCamp to camp on a platform raised canvas tent right on the gorgeous property with unbelievable views. We’ll be back here!

South Hill Cider has the perfect blend of good drinks, great people, and amazing scenery. The cider flights are fantastic, and the live music nights are always such a good time. It’s one of those places that captures everything you love about Ithaca — community, creativity, and care in every detail.

South Hill cider is fine if you like very dry ciders. barely any semi-sweet ones much less than sweet. if you want a flight they are preset. and much more expensive than other places. food isn’t offered at lunch but we didn’t know that till we got there. the menu for dinner sounded fantastic but we didn’t stay long enough.
The building is both rustic yet modernish, very cool. plenty of outdoor seating and sun sails overhead all over the place and very pretty.

Jazz music on a Monday night?! Truly delightful evening on the patio. Friendly patrons who made us visitors feel welcome! A lovely gem close to town and camping! Very good cider and excellent cheeseboard pairings.

Loved the cider flights! Loved the workers. Love the views and scenery. But the most incredible thing was their root beer and ginger beer. They are the best in the whole world. They dont ship out, they only sell in house (and in the area), they are just so special!!!

As a suggestion from a winery, we drove here for a tasting. The exterior is a bit industrial, but the inside warm and inviting. With both indoor and outdoors seating options, patrons can buy glasses or do a tasting of cider. Our favorite was the Rosè. However, we purchased the Pommeau, a delicious after dinner like sherry. Frankie was attentive and helpful as we self guided through your flight.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic cider and food with impressively fast and friendly service! Spectrum of delicious hard ciders to choose from, ranging from dry to sweet, something for every palate. Cider pulled pork sandwich is amazing, a must-try food item. Cherry shrub is nice. Bread pudding for dessert is quite good, especially the whipped cream and cherry sauce!
