With over a hundred awards under their name (including the 2024 International Classic Cider Championship), there’s no doubt that Portland Cider Co serves the best craft cider in Portland.
They serve eight flavors all year round, with additions of seasonal, small batches, and other flavors. They have ciders made from berries, lemonade, and peach.
I suggest starting with the Pacific Berry for a taste of the Pacific Northwest. It’s a popular flavor that balances raspberry and marionberry tartness with apple. Then, ask the bartender to mix it with Kinda Dry for a well-balanced blend.
Pro Tip:
Visit their website or social media to see what ciders are currently on tap, including seasonal and limited edition releases. Also, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for their personal recommendations or explain the nuances of different cider flavors.

WildCraft Cider & Pantry stands out among cideries in Portland for offering ciders crafted from unusual planting methods.
Take, for example, their rare Russian crab apple flavor. It was crafted by planting apple genetics, inspired by the Russian settlers in Oregon in the mid-1700s. What I like about it is that it’s just apples—no additional flavoring—giving it a natural taste.
What’s even better is that they sell other products aside from craft ciders. For spice lovers, you shouldn’t miss out on their fermented hot sauce made from a variety of salt and pepper.
Pro Tip:
Consider joining one of their clubs to have special access to discounts and distinctive flavors when you purchase a half or full case. You may also score their stemless glass with their logo on it for remembrance.

You’ll surely love exploring the different cider flavors Portland Cider House has. They divided their offerings into five categories, each using a great range of fruits.
I suggest trying their Imperial Passionfruit Pineapple. It’s quite fruity and sweet due to the combination of the two fruits, with noticeable acidity. When it comes to aroma, it has a strong pineapple and tropical notes, and a fruity sharpness to the nose.
Lemonade lovers will enjoy the great selection of hard lemonade drinks they offer. You can choose from four flavors: pink, guava, peach, and watermelon lemonade.
Pro Tip:
Take advantage of the tasting notes, aroma, and flavor wheels they provide to guests. They will help you appreciate the nuances of their ciders. Also, don’t forget to eat some of their gluten-free foods.

If you prefer your craft cider to be in a big, fragile glass instead of being in a can or a bottle, Legend Cider would be the perfect choice. Here, they serve the ciders in huge glasses and mugs, depending on how you want to drink.
They have six tasty flagship flavors with 6% Alcohol by Volume (ABV), which is relatively lower than most cideries’ 8%. I love their Paulina Pomegranate the most. It has bold tartness and just enough bitterness.
I suggest visiting from Tuesday to Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM to enjoy their happy hour deals.
Pro Tip:
Legend Cider is well-known for its family-friendly and cheerful environment. It would be a great idea to bring your loved ones. Grab some food at one of their on-site food trucks, serving Italian and Mexican cuisine.

Address: 255 Elmwood Rd, Pownal
Contact Details: +1 207 233 5534 and [email protected]
Operating Hours: Friday and Saturday – 2 PM to 5 PM
Pricing: $$
I appreciate Portersfield Cider’s way of fermenting ciders. They ferment them in small batches and place them in various containers, such as barrels, tanks, and carboys. If you don’t know, even a simple container selection matters to the cider’s flavor.
When my friends and I visited, the staff gave us the option to choose between a full or a half flight. We opted for a full flight and tasted four flavors of their ciders.
The one I liked most is the Aronia, a blend of Jonagold and Northern Spy apple cultivars. It has a slight sour taste, which I found surprisingly good.
Pro Tip:
Contact them first to know if they’re open to the public, as they sometimes close even during their usual business hours.
8. 19 Acres Cider Co.

Contact Details: +1 503 746 5105 and [email protected]
Operating Hours: Wednesday to Sunday – 12 PM to 7 PM
Pricing: $$
19 Acres’s tasting venue is very impressive. The venue is a repurposed horse barn within a farm and is surrounded by green pastures.
Their three flagship flavors have different alcohol levels. The strongest drink is the Strawberry Hibiscus, with 6.1 ABV. It’s a semi-dry cider, with a balance that leans more toward freshness than richness.
I also appreciate that they have a wide selection of seasonal draft flavors they have in their cellar. Some of the unique flavors they have are passion dragonfruit, yuzu plum, and blood orange.
Pro Tip:
Aside from their ciders, you may also try their famous Brazilian limeade, a combination of key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk. You can also run your next event in their spacious tasting room.

La Familia specializes in hard ciders crafted with aguas frescas flavors, such as Bright Hibiscus and Tart Guava. It’s the ideal cidery in Portland for those thirsty for Mexican-inspired drinks.
The hibiscus cider’s perfect blend of sweetness and tartness got me. Its crispy and refreshing mouthfeel is also a huge plus. Aside from that, there’s no doubt that its pinkish-red hue is visually appealing.
Apart from ciders, they also serve seasonal cocktails. Some cocktails I saw during my visit were the Jamaica cidertini, Jamaica margarita, and mangonada cidertini.
Pro Tip:
If you have a furry friend, you can bring them to the tasting room! Just make sure that they’re leashed.

If you’re looking for a Portland cidery that brings new flavors almost every month, Stone Circle Cider is the place to be. Throughout the years, they were able to provide a lot of seasonal, tasty ciders to people.
Despite that, they still have signature drinks that many people love. One of them is Farmhouse Dry, a cider made from 12 varieties of cider apples. Imagine tasting various apples in just one drink (I surely loved it!).
Another variety of their Farmhouse Dry is Farmhouse Semi-Dry, which features just the right amount of sweetness. It’s fermented throughout the winter, resulting in a smooth, dry sensation.
Pro Tip:
Bring a mat and lay it on the tasting room’s picnic area with a fire pit. It also has a gaming area.
