Grown Here. Poured Here. Keuka Lake.
Located in the Keuka Lake region of the Finger Lakes, Treetops Cidery is a family-owned craft cidery focused on producing small-batch hard cider that reflects the land, the fruit, and the local community. It’s an easygoing stop that feels rooted in tradition rather than trend—perfect for travelers who enjoy discovering places that are quietly confident in what they do well.
The Experience
Treetops specializes in crisp, clear, all-natural hard ciders with fruit-forward character. Small-batch production allows for seasonal experimentation while staying grounded in classic cidermaking practices tied to the Finger Lakes’ long apple-growing history.
The tasting room typically offers a rotating mix of core ciders and seasonal releases, which keeps visits interesting and gives you a chance to explore different styles without feeling overwhelmed.
The Vibe
This is the kind of place where you naturally slow down. The atmosphere feels relaxed, approachable, and intentionally simple—focused on the cider and the conversation around it. It’s comfortable without being polished, welcoming without being performative. Whether you arrive with a plan or stumble in while exploring the area, it feels like a spot where lingering is encouraged and questions are welcome.
It works just as well for a quiet tasting as it does for an unhurried stop with friends while making your way around Keuka Lake.
