Surpassed expectations
Definitely surpassed my expectations. My husband is more of a cider loving, but I have found 3 ciders and a mead I really enjoy. The commentary was great, because you can see the passion they have for their concoctions. Also, the cheese and meats they have selected are amazing paired with the ciders. Will definitely do again, and will come back for refills.

Delightful and Fun Cider & Mead Experience!
I absolutely loved the Craft Cider & Mead Tasting in New Orleans! As someone who enjoys trying new flavors, this 45-minute experience was perfect. The host was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tasting both fun and informative. I especially enjoyed learning about the different types of mead and ciders, and sampling some unique flavors I’ve never tried before. The setting was cozy, and the portions were just right—enough to get a good sense of each drink without feeling overwhelmed. I also appreciated the small group size, which made the experience feel personal and relaxed.

Totally core-geous selection of ciders
I ended up trying a flight and loved every single one (which never happens for me!). I also really appreciated that they offer jars to go — This place has such a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The variety of ciders they offer is impressive — from dry and crisp to fruity and spiced, there’s truly something for every palate. Whether you're a cider enthusiast or just curious, you'll find plenty to explore. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely seemed to love what they do — they took the time to chat, offer samples, and help me find something I’d enjoy. I also love that they offer jars to go — I took a couple back with me and they traveled perfectly. Highly recommend stopping in!

Fantastic Cider
Jon and Diana run an amazing cidery that makes fantastic cider. The rotating cider board ensures every tasting is a little bit different but always contains unique dry ciders.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New Orleans.
How much does Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New Orleans usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New Orleans is not rushed.
Is Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New Orleans, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New Orleans can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New Orleans and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Craft Cider and Mead Tasting in New Orleans start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New Orleans within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New Orleans?
+
New Orleans runs on licensed guides, and it shows: the city requires certification for tour guides, so the floor is higher here than most US cities. Ghost and cemetery walks, French Quarter food crawls, plantation history day trips and swamp boat runs make up the bulk. We rank on whether the operator handles cemetery access properly, since St. Louis No. 1 needs an authorised guide. On Outty we rank every New Orleans experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include New Orleans Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour with Transportation, New Orleans Swamp Tour Boat Adventure, New Orleans Self-Transport Swamp and Bayou Boat Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New Orleans?
+
February to May and October to November. August is heat and storm season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New Orleans?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
