If you're looking for apple cider (hard cider) in Geneva, your best options are:
Try local Geneva cider directly
* Cidrerie de Meinier — One of the best-known local cider producers in the Geneva region. They make traditional Geneva cider and are a great choice if you'd like to taste something produced locally rather than imported brands.[1]
(To get there, take a city tram or bus to Rive stop/station, then G line or the 271 to Vesenaze, Pallanterie. Then 7 minute walk to Cidrerie de Meinier.)
Le Genevoise du Terroire, 1242 Satigny. (To get there, take the RL5 from Geneva Station to Sarigny stop.) They also have a retail outlet in Geneva. Take public transport to the Rondeau stop, then walk to the store.)
Cave et Domaines Les Perrières, 1242 Peissy. (To get there, take the RL5 from Geneva Station to Satigny stop, then #72 or 73 to Peissy.)
Domaine des Molards, 1281 Russin. (To get there, take the RL5 from Geneva Station to Russin stop.)
Bars and bottle shops with good craft selections
* Drinks of the World (inside Cornavin station) usually stocks a wide range of international and Swiss craft beverages, including ciders. It's probably the easiest place in central Geneva to buy a few different bottles and compare styles. Look for Incider brand, especially their Cloudy Apple (red label) which won a Cider World award.
* Britannia Pub and Charly O’Neills Irish Pub & Restaurant often carry cider alongside beer, typically British or Irish brands on draft or in bottles.
If you want a cider-focused venue
* The restaurant/bar Ephese, Rue de Carouge 74, describes itself as a cider bar in Geneva.
For a uniquely Swiss cider experience look for local producers such as:
* Sergette Cidre, Thibaud Mathieu
Indépendant, 1212 Lancy — artisanal cider made in Geneva using natural bottle fermentation.
* BlackDot Cider, Cheerstrasse 16, Lucerne — small-batch ciders produced near Lake Geneva and found in some specialty shops and restaurants.
If you're visiting the city center and want one recommendation for today, I'd start with Drinks of the World to sample several Swiss and imported ciders, then head to a pub nearby if you'd like to try one on draft.
