The ride to the orchards is nice, once there you are greeted by wonderful hosts. For the first timers I would recommend trying the sampler ciders. If you like picnics or a stroll through orchards. This is a nice place to come. ...Read More

This place is amazing! From the grounds that you can explore to the amazing ciders to taste. Indigeny Reserve has it all. The grounds are well groomed, filled with flowing streams and trails to hike. Walked to the on site mine and to Phoenix lake,...Read More

Well worth the short drive from central Sonora (about 15 minutes).The ciders are outstanding, as is the apple brandy. (I didn't try the vodka.) The "regular" cider is juicy and a little sweet. The cider with blackberry is excellent and very well balanced. The organic...Read More

I don't know but this was one of the best cider tastings I've ever been to, but yet I've only been to one😋.It operates similar to a winery but the tour that we took was outstanding. Learned a lot of information about apples and the...Read More

Really enjoyed the cider and spirit tasting here. The staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. We were able to taste seven ciders, a brandy, and two cellos.In warmer weather, the outdoor area looks great for a picnic. Beautiful views of acres of apples!

Some very interesting ciders at this place. Some of them are quite good and some of them are palatable, but that's about it. However, the staff doesn't know enough about how they're made or what makes the flavors what they are. So you know, don't...Read More

I absolutely love this place, but today when we came to the Winter festival it was a little different. I understand the inside staff was a little overwhelmed, but I feel I was treated like a child. Instead of a welcoming "hello" or "Welcome in"...Read More

You will never find a better, higher quality hard cider or brandy. Their products are absolutely top notch, and are available in multiple sizes including 2 liter mini kegs and Growlers. They have seasonal blends, like the pumpkin spice hard apple cider currently being produced,...Read More

We reserved a spot for a family get-together on the beautiful grounds at Indigeny Reserve. The space was plenty big for all of us and parking was easy. The kids had a great time playing on the big green COOL lawn and went wading in...Read More

What a wonderful place to visit. We brought a Corvette Club here and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. The tasting of hand-crafted ciders, vodkas and brandy along with an interesting tour of their facility was epic. Bring a picnic lunch as no food is sold on...Read More

Every time I have been to Indigeny, I appreciate the grounds and all that has been done, especially during Covid, to make it comfortable and welcoming to their guests. That was until our visit over the weekend. The grounds and the cider are still great,...Read More

Hard cider that wants to taste like apples and not be a copy cat of beer - truly for the cider fans. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. We really enjoyed sampling their ciders (for free)- ended up buying...Read More

Don’t bother attending their holiday event. It was very sad!Pictures with Santa were outrageously horrible. Paid $5 for a picture with the photographers finger in it. Camera was too far back. Got a pic of the surrounding decorations more than of the subjects. Santa not...Read More

When I had to choose one star it called that "Hated It" . This does not describe my feeling. I would have given no stars and not used the word hate if that were a choice in writing my review. I would have said I was extremely disappointed because I believed in my experience of visiting the grounds , buying organic apples directly , enjoying the tasting bar and reading as much online as I could find on the website. Had there been full disclosure and transparency on the website regarding the ingredients of the products made and sold by Indigeny , I would have absorbed all that I could. I hope that is available soon and I have requested that be done directly with one of the Watson family members. That would be full disclosure and transparency , which I consider very important in my life and look for that from the people in my life and products I buy.My complaint is that when I went with faith and trust to buy my first 6 pack of "Indigeny Reserve " as a rare treat for myself in terms of drinking alcohol , I was 2/3 through the bottle when I looked at the ingredient list . I was shocked to find out that one 12 ounce bottle has 31 grams of sugar , that the product has Dexrtose, caramel color and preservatives in it . I could not sleep last night I was so hopped up on sugar. I am disappointed because I thought Indigeny was similar in the degree of integrity that the also local Diestal Farms has well established . What I think now is that the Indigeny Reserve product is cheaply made , a money maker but worst of all it is part of an industry that is contributing to the out of control use of sugar that is affecting the masses . Sure , it is fine for them to make and sell what they do , it's just that I understand now that though they have an organic hard apple cider product that they make and sell on the grounds , the product in the store is closer to a soda product and those distinctions are not made on the website, which I hope they will be soon . I believe now that they would never make the money they want / need to make by just producing an organic , no sugar added hard cider and an organic hard liquor. The money is in the mas produced for the masses who have yet to stop their own intake of cheap sugary drinks . That , besides the fact that I felt very bad after drinking part of a bottle of the 12 oz Indigeny reserve last night for the first time , is why I would give no stars with an Extremely Disappointed designation if I could have . Still it was important enough for me to register my complaint and therefore I chose the one start and the distasteful "Hated It" . Buyer beware, business come clean .
