Inspired by the historical roots of Castle Hill Estate and the first Albemarle Pippin apples grown here pre-revolutionary war, Castle Hill's cider makers set out to create the highest quality Virginia cider season after season. Utilizing a variety of apples grown both on their 600 acre grounds and by a community of local growers, a library of orchard-driven Virginia hard ciders are available in the tasting room in Keswick, Virginia. We invite you to discover Virginia cider at Castle Hill - a true ground to glass adventure for your senses.
