Ciderhuset in Balestrand, Norway

We had a delightful experience yesterday at Ciderhuset: a cider tasting + lunch. The host took us through a brief history of apple growing and cider making, along with a quick walk through the orchard. Then we had 5 ciders + 5 small plate lunch items in a greenhouse overlooking the fjord and orchard. The host was passionate about his topic and an engaging speaker -- we learned a lot! The ciders and food were delicious. All in all, a fascinating and fun 2 hours. We signed up online the night before, but later in summer I bet you'd need to book further ahead (it's mid-May now). The group was 21 people, and since it had varied nationalities, the host spoke mostly in English.

I am glad to hear a review - I have thought of doing this the two times I have been in Balestrand -- and even visited the facility last time I was there ! - but have never followed through on it.
