About the Location
Less than 45 minutes from most Chicago suburbs is the lovely Jonamac Orchard. While many people recall picking apples here when they were younger, more and more people are getting excited (excidered?) for the new hard cider tasting room. Their cider is made from apples grown and pressed on site, so you know it'll be the perfect drink at the finish line!
