Roseland, Virginia · Nelson 151 Trail

Real apples. Never from concentrate.

Dry, naturally delicious hard cider — pressed from real Virginia and New York apples, always gluten-free.

Twenty-seven riverside acres at the foot of Wintergreen: 360° Blue Ridge views, a creek to sit beside, live music on the weekends, and a BBQ rig smoking Friday through Sunday.

Plan your visit What's on tap

Picnic tables scattered across the Blue Toad farm meadow at the foot of Wintergreen, the Blue Ridge Mountains rising behind — The farm at 462 Winery Lane — 27 acres on the South Fork of the Rockfish.

Fri – Sun at the farm

BBQ Beast

They bill it as Virginia's largest BBQ rig — and it parks here every Friday through Sunday. Ribs, pulled pork, Jamaican jerk chicken, and mac & cheese, smoked steps from the taproom and made to pair with a cold dry cider.

The Blue Toad can lineup — Blue Ridge Blonde, Flannel Amber, Paddy Green and the seasonals lined up on a taproom table

On tap & in cans

Dry cider, the way apples actually taste.

Every pour starts as real fruit — three to four apple varieties blended per cider, pressed where they're grown, never from concentrate. Blue Ridge Blonde, Flannel Amber, Paddy Green, and a rotating cast of seasonals, all naturally gluten-free.

Meet the lineup

The creek

Grab a chair by the water.

The South Fork of the Rockfish runs right along the property — pull an Adirondack chair up to the bank, park the kids at the playground, and let a fire pit and a pint carry the afternoon. Ask anyone who's been: the creek is the star.
