About Burrville Cider Mill

Burrville Cider Mill is a working cider press where visitors watch apples being pressed into fresh cider and observe cider donuts being made. The mill operates on a seasonal schedule and welcomes self-guided tours during pressing hours, typically between 10 a.m. and noon on select days. Guests smell apples being processed and enjoy the aroma of hot cider donuts throughout their visit. The facility stocks North Country products sourced entirely from New York State, along with hand-crafted items from local artisans. Built in 1801 as a sawmill and gristmill, the structure sits at a 30-foot waterfall on Sandy Creek that historically powered the mill's equipment. The mill uses high-quality apples purchased at peak ripeness from across New York and inspected before pressing. Located between the Thousand Islands and Adirondack regions near Watertown, the property offers scenic views of the falls and autumn foliage from its decks, making it an ideal destination for families seeking an agricultural experience.
