Small, but fun experience learning a bit about the history of the Martinelli’s company and getting to taste various flavors of ciders.
The signs on the history displays are very well done, though I wish they had more information about the machinery that is there. There is also a video playing that shows the historic and modern production processes.
The tasting bar was particularly fun and the staff was kind and helpful! Keep in mind, you’re only permitted to taste three types.
The store had a good variety of ciders and juices but also fun memorabilia and clothes. The silver contraption they sell as a bottle opener and capper was particularly intriguing.
It's worth a quick stop in if you love apple juice and cider. They give a complimentary tasting of 3 products and stock in flavors that are hard to find in stores. Plus, they sell branded shirts, magnets, and other knick knacks. Natalie was behind the counter and gave us neat, little facts about the company and store. Looks a bit like an employee area when you drive in, but there's plenty of parking and the signage helps.
Such an amazing experience! It was great to see such a rich history associated with my childhood favorite drink. Staff was super nice and helpful too. Let us try pretty much every sample lol
There’s much more variety of Martinelli’s here than at a convenient store! You can do taste tests here (up to 3). The organic drinks taste better (or so I’ve been told). Honestly, there’s a LOT of history here! I would HIGHLY recommend this place!
What an amazing experience! There is clear signage when you enter the store on where to go and where to park. The store is clean and modern and there is ample parking. When you get inside you are greeted by friendly staff. The store itself has some clothing merchandise and a mini museum of Martinelli’s history including pictures and old apple presses.
They have a free tasting of their various products. This is a great way to decide what you want to buy. It would be cool if they sold juice by the glass (they might, not sure). I would highly recommend the apple-mango...so good!
You can mix and match 6 of the larger bottles for $18. Or buy single flavors in cases. No individual bottles sold :(. Both chilled and room temp is available. Great place to buy juice at cost. The whole staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I can’t wait to come back!
