Hard cider education drives plan at Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards
Alan Ward and Marvin Owings traveled to Normandy and Switzerland to study historic cider making and apple varieties. Ward plans to add hard cider to the winery lineup amid Henderson County’s apple farming growth, citing tradition and education for wine drinkers. Ward notes cider is a fermented wine, not a beer, and reflects on language and navigation hiccups on the trip. The Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards tasting room operates daily with hours posted and contact details provided.
