Yappy Hour at Coyote Hole Ciderworks
Program Details & Spotlights
Bring your favorite four-legged friends out to Coyote Hole's weekly Yappy Hour on the spacious orchard lawn. Dogs can play, socialize, and meet new friends while their owners relax with a flight of fresh-pressed Virginia hard cider or craft beer. Special dog treats are often available, making it a wonderful mid-week community gathering for Lake Anna's pet-loving residents and visitors.
There is nothing quite like a mid-week break to rejuvenate the soul, and there is no better place to spend it than on the sprawling, sun-drenched orchard lawn at Coyote Hole Ciderworks. Tucked away in the charming town of Mineral, just minutes from the glittering waters of Lake Anna, this local staple transforms every week into a vibrant, tail-wagging paradise. Yappy Hour has quickly become a beloved tradition for local residents and weekenders alike, offering the perfect excuse to get outside, soak in the fresh Virginia air, and let your furry best friends run the show.
As you settle into the relaxed, rustic atmosphere of the cidery, your pup will be greeted by a friendly pack of local canines. While the dogs romp and play on the grass, you can head over to the tasting room to discover what is currently on tap. Coyote Hole is famous for its creative, fresh-pressed Virginia hard ciders made from 100% Virginia apples. Whether you prefer a bone-dry traditional pour, a sweet fruit infusion like blackberry or peach, or even one of their locally brewed craft beers, there is a refreshing pint waiting with your name on it.
What truly sets this event apart is the warm, welcoming community spirit. Lake Anna is a notoriously pet-friendly region, but Yappy Hour brings that passion to a whole new level. It is a place where strangers quickly become friends over shared stories of dock-diving adventures and favorite lake spots. With plenty of shade trees, open space for the dogs to explore safely, and a genuinely laid-back vibe, it is the ultimate way to decompress and experience the genuine hospitality that defines the Lake Anna community.
