HAZLITT CIDER TREE

Pure. Crisp. Gluten Free.

A drink committed to local.

Our hard cider is made in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region in Naples, New York, using select apples grown in our own backyard. The labels and the rest of the packaging are from nearby too, and even the bottles are made within 100 miles of home! 

We work hard to create high quality cider we are proud of and, more importantly, cider we love to drink. You can find us on any weekend hiking through the woods or hanging by the lake most likely in the company of good friends enjoying a cold, crisp Cider Tree.​ See for yourself why Cider Tree ranks amongst the top hard ciders in what Finger Lakes cideries offer.

We’re sure you’ll love it too.

DISCOVER WHAT MAKES CIDER TREE STAND OUT AMONG FINGER LAKES CIDERIES

What sets Hazlitt’s Cider Tree apart from the many exceptional ciders in the Finger Lakes?
Decades of experience, an uncompromising commitment to quality, and a deep love for craft
cider. As a winery with forty years of expertise, we bring a winemaker’s touch to every batch of
Cider Tree. Unlike many other Finger Lakes cideries, we apply traditional winemaking
techniques—like fermenting with Champagne yeast—to create hard ciders that are crisp,
refined, and uniquely delicious.

From orchard to bottle, every detail reflects our passion for quality and our connection to the
region. But don’t just take our word for it—visit Hazlitt Red Cat Cellars or Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards
and taste the difference for yourself. You’ll see why Cider Tree stands out among Finger Lakes
cideries.
