From Cold Hollow Cider Mill:
We press cider year round, four days a week in the summer, and seven days a week beginning in early September. On occasion, we will be making Cider Jelly, firing up our evaporator in the jelly room. We have a live Bee Observation Hive in our honey section, which is quite mesmerizing to watch. Our natural foods Bakery continually cranks out taste treats such as apple pies, pumpkin rolls, granola bars, turnovers, and cookies. The overwhelming aroma at the Mill comes from our legendary Cider Donuts, featured in Gourmet Magazine as one of the top four donuts in the country! We offer tons of Pure Vermont Maple Syrup, as well as Vermont made Cheddar Cheese. All this happens in our sprawling general store filled with specialty foods and Vermont-made gifts and crafts. In our Connection store, 50 feet across the driveway, the Grand View Winery offers wine and hard cider tasting. We produce up to 20 varieties of Fudge on site, which of course is available for tasting. As you can see, there's never a shortage of things to do, see, or taste!
