Downtown Traverse City's premier cider destination, featuring house-crafted hard ciders, spirits, and a farm-to-table food menu. Live music, outdoor patio, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a TC favorite.
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. Taproot Cider House 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 Downtown Traverse City, Taproot Cider House 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. Taproot Cider House is open to walk-in visitors during regular tasting hours. Groups and special events may require advance reservations — contact them directly for details.
