Our Ciders are handcrafted from local Virginia apples.
Mt Defiance hand-crafted ciders are made in Middleburg, Virginia. We’ve been producing artisan cider since 2014, with the goal of honoring the tradition behind American cider making. Cider tastings are available at Barn in Middleburg, Virginia.
