Our Story
Rein In a Little
Wild Spirit
Cider Horse was born in 2023 from a simple idea: take the bold, wild character of the muscadine grape — America's native grape — and turn it into something refreshingly different. Something with a little kick and a lot of soul.
Crafted at Tsali Notch Vineyard in Monroe County, Tennessee, every bottle of Cider Horse carries the spirit of the land — the rolling hills, the mountain air, and the deep-rooted heritage of a place named for the legendary Cherokee leader Tsali.
With muscadines among the foods highest in antioxidants (resveratrol), Cider Horse isn't just delicious — it's rooted in something real. Light, crisp, and perfect for your next outdoor adventure.
