Wayside Cider is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Delaware County by crafting a delightful blend of wild, heirloom, and dessert apples. Their unique approach to cider-making embraces the local history and topography of the Catskill Mountains, setting them apart from the current trend of looking to Europe for inspiration.
By meticulously picking and grafting wild and abandoned apple trees, they honor the past while using modern production methods to create a genuinely reflective cider of this region. This commitment to tradition and innovation results in a cider that captures the essence of Delaware County, offering a timeless and contemporary taste.

Cider products from Wayside Cider:
- CATSKILL 7.5% ABV
The Catskill is our flagship cider. The natural bite from the wild apples is mellowed through partial aging in oak bourbon barrels from a local micro-distillery, resulting in a distinctively Delaware County cider. The hint of oaky bourbon that the barrels instill is subtle, but gives this cider a nice complexity. - HALF-WILD 7% ABV
This cider draws its name from the unique blend of locally harvested wild apples and dessert apples from the Hudson Valley. It is the least dry cider we make, with a sharp acidity that holds up well to this additional sweetness. It has an aromatic, slightly spicy character, with a clean finish. - SKINNY DIP 7% ABV
Unlike our other ciders, the Skinny Dip was the product of a single pressing. It is made primarily from Jonagold, Cortland, and Gala apples. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it could stand on its own. The addition of a small amount of locally sourced quince brings up the tannin levels to give the cider a mild bite.
