Per wikipedia it's a cider brewery. Per the national associate of cider makers, I'd say its cider maker.

We had one where I used to live called The Cider Mill.

In the US, where the term cider refers to a non-alcoholic drink they seem to just be called Cider Mills. Particularly since they don't brew. There are some places such as "Cider Mill & Winery" to differentiate some things.

In Michigan, there would be: Big Red Cider Mill, Yates Cider Mill, Rochester Cider Mill, and so on.

Not sure what the employee hierarchy is in a cider mill though. There are some that seem to call them a cider master (like a beer's brewmaster).

Edit: I did find a reference to ciderhouse which I recalled hearing about and those actually serve the fermented ciders as opposed to the non alcoholic ones.

I would call it a nice place to visit!

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I've heard them called cidery, cider house, cider mill; but I think Heckle nailed it with "A nice place to visit!" Regards, GF

KevinM is correct -- "cider" is the straight-pressed juice, un-filtered, juice of apples. Filtered, and it's called apple juice. My in-laws own several orchards and press several thousand gallons (nearer 10,000 gallons) of cider per year. When the entire activity/process is conducted on-premises it's not a process differentiated from "the orchard," but if it's a stand-alone business at least around these parts (there are several) it would be known as a "cider mill."

As for the person that makes the cider, well.... we usually call him whatever his parents named him.

true in the US but in the UK only the fermented stuff is cider....

 

[Rossnaree]

Quite right, but since the OP is in the US, that's how I directed my answer.

I've made perry before, but never fermented it. It was made from the juice of bosc, bartlett and seckel pears and was delicious. Then I was told that "TRUE" perry is made from a different type of pear altogether and is fermented. Befuddling language barriers, oh well.

I call the place I make my cider.... my basement....

I call the place I make my cider.... my basement....

Wouldn't that be the cider cellar?

Cider House. Forget the rules.

When I was in Paris, there was a place called 'La Sidreria'. The bartender told me it meant "A place where cider is made." They had a few barrels with taps extending from the wall where patrons would walk up to and pour into pitchers. It was a fun place with lots of drunken Frenchmen drinking lots of cider chanting "Plus pitchets, plus pitchets!"
