Ciders and Wines
Visit Montgomery Orchard to try and taste our delectable selection of homemade wines and ciders. Our ciders and wines are made from apples grown right here in the farm orchard. Our cider house is open from Labor Day to Halloween on Saturdays and Sundays. Come taste our award winning plum wine.
Ciders
- Northern Trek: It's a sparkling dry cider made in the tradition of the original American Ciders. It is 100% apple based and designed to have a crisp finish. Sweetness score: 4/10
- Prairie Harvest: This is a highly carbonated, slightly sweet cider made in the tradition of the original Ciders and flavored with local honey. It has a bit of a 'pop' from the Chestnut Crabs that are used in the mix. It is a smooth and drinkable cider. Sweetness score: 5/10
- Maple Run: It is a zesty sparkling cider flavored with local maple syrup and made in the tradition of the original American Ciders. It is our sweetest cider and goes down smoothly. This one can be served by itself or with food. This one is so Minnesota! Sweetness score: 7/10
- Graff: This unique combination of 75% apple juice and 25% English Ale, fermented together is technically a cider. It is light on the Hops and you will find plenty of "beer" notes present. When served from the tap, it pours like a malty beer. Sweetness score: 4/10
- Cranberry Crush: If anything goes well with apples, it is cranberry. You will find this cider to be very crisp and refreshing beverage, making it great for all seasons. Add some frozen cranberries to add to the appeal. Sweetness score: 6/10
Wines
- Plum Crazy: This wine, made with a variety of plums grown at the Orchard, plus a hint of black cherries, is a semi sweet wine with a unique taste experience. Like grape wines, the rich flavor comes from the dark skin of the plums. Chilled it can be enjoyed by itself or as a wonderful addition to any meal. It is truly a Minnesota original!
- South Wind: This wine is a medium bodied wine with noticeable acidity and flavors of muted apple and pear, much like a Chardonnay, with a soft buttery finish. This white apple wine is best served chilled with food.
- Cranapple Crisp: This apple and cranberry wine is a balanced semi dry wine with a delightful tartness to the tongue. Chill this wine and have it as a stand alone or with food. Be sure to add a couple of frozen cranberries to the glass for the extra appeal at any occasion.
- Smokin’ Oak: This cider is designed for the wine drinker. It has been aged in oak barrels for 12 months. You could serve this cider at the dinner table with fish or chicken.
- The Full Monty: The Full Monty is authentically prepared in the tradition of Apple Jack. To make this wine, we combine five different varieties of apples with special yeast that retains the apple flavor, yet ferments up to 19%. Hold on to your hat and enjoy the warm sweet taste of this unique liqueur.
- The Woody: Like the Full Monty, the Woody is also made in the tradition of Apple Jack. Zestar, Honeycrisp and Haralson apples blend to make the base topped off with Chestnut Crab to give it a buttery feel. We aged this creation for 2 1/2 years in Oak barrels to create perfect satisfaction. At 23%, be sure to sip this one ever so slowly!
