Join us at the U-Pick Apple Shed (located near the Cider Mill), where you will load onto a tractor ride out to our beautiful orchard led by our Ag Director who will give a guided talk on the history of Vala’s orchard and apple growing in Nebraska. From there, our Orchard Hosts will greet you with your first pour of cider and introduce you to tonight’s lineup of delicious orchard-based ciders. Enjoy an at-your-own-pace tasting, including our brand new award-winning Autumn’s Harvest and Blueberry Oak Reserve ciders.
