A working cidery, restaurant & hotel

Seminary Hill at a Glance

Atop the hill, overlooking the Delaware River and the old Franciscan seminary, you’ll discover why Condé Nast Traveler called us “James Fenimore Cooper’s America with a dash of Tuscany.” Opened in 2021, Seminary Hill is a working orchard and cidery in Callicoon, N.Y., inspired by our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ simple yet rich lives on the family homestead. Walk the rows of a 12-acre organic orchard, step inside the world’s first cidery built to Passive House standards, dine at the farm-to-table restaurant, and sleep at a Michelin-key hotel. We’re not just a Catskills cidery, restaurant, or hotel — we invite you to a holistic cider experience that immerses you in all we do.
