One of Michigan's most acclaimed cideries, Tandem uses locally sourced Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula apples to craft small-batch, terroir-driven ciders. Their rustic barn tasting room is a must-visit.
Michigan cider has found its voice in the Traverse City region, where generations of orchard farmers have cultivated the apple varieties that now define the craft cider movement. Tandem Ciders represents the best of what this tradition has become — small-batch production, locally sourced fruit, and a genuine connection to the land that produces it.
Located in Leelanau Peninsula, Tandem Ciders welcomes visitors year-round with a rotating selection of house-crafted ciders and seasonal offerings made from Northern Michigan apples and locally sourced fruit. Whether you're a dedicated cider enthusiast or simply looking to explore Traverse City's broader craft beverage scene, this is a stop worth making.
Hours vary seasonally, so we recommend confirming directly with the cidery before your visit. Tandem Ciders is open to walk-in visitors during regular tasting hours. Groups and special events may require advance reservations — contact them directly for details.
Pair your cider tasting with a visit to the nearby wineries on the peninsula for a full exploration of what Northern Michigan fruit country has to offer.
