Where It’s At

What’s Fun (and Kid-Friendly)
Our whole crew loved visiting here. We brought the kids along and they had a blast:
- The food was delicious—we sampled gourmet sourdough flatbreads and small plates that felt fresh and flavorful.
- The kids especially raved about the non-alcoholic specialty slushie, a perfect blend of fruit and fun.
- We all enjoyed exploring the orchard paths and ponds—they’re quiet, beautiful, and made the trip feel like a mini adventure.
On the beverage side, Davenport pours handcrafted ciders and wines from their estate-grown apples. The selection rotates and includes fun seasonal flavors (think apple pie, pumpkin, and more), as well as slushies, adult frozen cocktails, and cider-wine-ice-cream flights. davenportcidery.com+1davenportcidery.com+1
