From the reviews
I am not a big cider fan but i’ve ben to three different venues in the area and Castle Hill is by far the best. They have a large selection and they are all unique. The view is incredible as well. Great place!
Beautiful venue. Huge indoor banquet area with balcony area. Top notch courteous staff. Lots of modest variations to cider along with a bourbon blended port option. Food options are gourmet but not inexpensive. Still worth it as a compliment to the ciders. Great experience .
Have been going to Castle Hill for years and it remains a favorite. Fantastic cider plus some super inventive and delicious cider cocktails as well. The property is absolutely stunning and the service is always impeccable.
Castle Hill was the PERFECT venue for our wedding day! I always dreamed of getting married in the mountains in the fall — and WOW did the foliage deliver. Weeks after our wedding, our friends and family are still telling us how pretty everything was. The space itself is incredible.
Getting married at Castle Hill Cider
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Castle Hill Cider doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
