Where to buy

Several of the region's best cideries are family-run and not open to the public (though visits can be sometimes arranged). For those ciders, check their websites for current listings of shops and restaurants that sell them or try the Cellar d'Or (136 East State Street, Ithaca; 607-319-0500; thecellardor.com), which has a nearly comprehensive selection of New York State ciders.
