Pick, pour, gather.

Festival weekends fill the hollow; the tasting room pours the hard cider. Both begin in the same rows.

U-pick apples, hard cider, harvest festival weekends — all in one hollow outside Ithaca.

Section I · Festival weekends

The hollow, open end to end.

Festival weekends are the fullest version of this place: the rows open for picking, the tasting room pouring hard cider, and the grounds given over to the harvest.

Section II · The tasting room

Hard cider, poured from the hollow.

The tasting room sits at the end of the picking, where the apples become cider. Come in, take a glass, and stay as long as the afternoon allows.

Section III · The orchard

U-pick apples, row by row.

U-pick is the plainest pleasure the hollow offers: rows open to anyone willing to carry home what they pick. Bring the family out, take the long way back, and let the afternoon run its course.

Rows open through the harvest.
Picking is part of every festival weekend.
Open to families, school groups, and anyone with an afternoon to spare.

Section IV · The gathering

Weddings, field trips & the cider club.

The hollow is rented, walked, and joined — for weddings, school field trips, and the cider club.

Orchard wedding rentals

Rows for the aisle, open sky for the ceremony, and the cidery a short walk away for the toast.

School field trips

Class groups come out to walk the rows. The lesson is mostly apples; the classroom is a row of trees.

Cider club

A standing invitation for the regulars — join once and the hollow keeps a place for you.

Section V · The visit

Come stand in the rows.

Harvest Hollow Orchard & Cidery is in Ithaca, New York, where the picking, the pressing and the pouring all happen in one hollow. Festival weekends and tasting room visits are the two best ways in.
