Charming Julian, an hour east of city centre, could aptly be described “as American as apple pie.” Nestled in the picturesque Cuyamaca Mountains in East County, Julian is famous for its mouth-watering apple pies and cider from local orchards along with a rich California gold rush history. You can find Victorian-style architecture, old-fashioned stores, country-style restaurants. You will have time to walk around this lovely mountain town.

Julian Hard Cider is located in beautiful Julian, California. A winding, 1-hr. back-country drive northeast of San Diego, California, nestled in the Cuyamaca Mountains amidst apple orchards, grassy meadows, and oak & pine groves. With a rich and colourful history as a raucous, frontier gold mining town, Julian is now popular as a weekend getaway, famous for its delicious and highly coveted, apple pie. Our tasting room at Julian Station (4470 Julian Rd.) currently has 12 ciders on tap, with 4 rotating handles of unique, Julian-only speciality ciders produced at our small production facility @ Apple Lane Orchard. Julian Station is dog and family-friendly and has a large outdoor patio to safely accommodate folks heading up to Julian to grab some pie & cider, or just to explore! Julian Hard Cider is distributed by Sunset Distribution to SoCal's craft-focused restaurants, bars, and retail establishments. Please ask for it wherever you eat, drink & shop.
