Big Fish Cider Co. 59 Spruce Street, Monterey, VA 24465

"Hip little establishment, tastefully decorated, and easily located. Jessa is the consummate host, bar none; friendly, informative and receptive without being intrusive or overbearing. Such a wonderful first visit! Enjoying good local products in a tasteful atmosphere doesn't have to wreck your budget, and this place is proof. Take it from an Appalachian boy who grew up making cider: Big Fish ciders are authentic, impressive, and worth the drive. (Pictured: the bottle of last year's Blackberry that we took home to celebrate the New Year. Slainte'!)"

"The cider was soooooo good!!! Had a great time playing games, talking with the host and drinking cider. Cool place!"

"I adore Monterey and I adored Big Fish! Samantha on staff was so friendly and knowledgeable, she made our visit even more fun. The ciders are SO local. Not only delicious and unique drinks, but sweet knowing the apples come from our local counties and support local farmers. Awesome gift selection of ciders as well. Tap room and the adjacent space are beautiful and welcoming. I'll be back with friends!"

"The only place open on Sunday in Monterey, or in miles around. We were vacationing on a farm via Airbnb, and decided to get out to check it out. We enjoyed a flight, sitting down in this shop with a small town atmosphere with enough tables to accommodate at least 5 parties. Good service. Recomended, even if you never considered cider as your preferred drink, you can find some of their craft versions with a twist of your like."
