Our favorite food, wineries, cideries, & breweries

This is the largest, most renowned brewery in the area, only 1 min from the cabin! It has great brunch, lunch & dinner food. They have tons of outdoor seating or you can get curbside pickup which is an excellent, easy option. As a heads up, if eating there you’ll want to make a reservation the day before or as early as possible to get a table. It is super popular!

A must see! This is our all time favorite place around here. Great food, great cider, great employees. Lots of fun live music & events (check their calendar). There is a ton of outdoor seating with Mountain Views, but the indoor seating is just as beautiful with a cozy fireplace. My brother Lindsay Dorrier helps run Bold Rock & would love for you to stop by! Make a reservation or go as early as possible! It is very popular!
