Urban Orchard Cider Co. is a hard cider taproom and cidery at 24 Buxton Avenue in Asheville's South Slope. It's family owned and serves as the company's production headquarters, making ciders on site from fresh-pressed apple juice with no artificial sweeteners, aromas or flavors. Food & Wine magazine has ranked it among the best places to drink cider.

Locals like the warm taproom, a good spot to settle in with friends over a cider.
