Services & Process

Parmenter's operates across three distinct categories. As a cidery, it presses fresh apple cider and produces hard ciders ranging from dry and crisp to sweet and fruit-forward. The winery side offers Michigan-made wines for tasting and purchase. And then there are the donuts, a cider mill staple in Michigan, made fresh and best enjoyed warm with a cup of cider. The combination makes it a genuine multi-generational destination: grandparents and kids can share the donut and cider experience while adults explore the wine and hard cider menu. It's also a popular stop during fall color season.

Service Area

Parmenter's serves the Northville community and draws visitors from across Wayne and Oakland counties, including Plymouth, Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Novi. Its position near the border of two of metro Detroit's most populated counties gives it a very large natural customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Parmenter's different from a regular winery?
Parmenter's combines the experience of a traditional Michigan cider mill, including fresh-pressed apple cider and hot donuts, with a licensed winery and cidery. It's a multi-experience destination rather than a pure wine-focused venue, which makes it appealing to a broader range of visitors.
When is the best time to visit Parmenter's Cider Mill?
Fall is the peak season, typically from late August through October, when fresh apple cider and donuts are being made daily and the surrounding area is at its most scenic. Visiting on a weekday morning avoids the weekend crowds that can make parking and lines challenging.
Does Parmenter's offer hard cider in addition to regular cider?
Yes, as a licensed cidery Parmenter's produces hard ciders for adult guests, alongside its traditional fresh-pressed cider available to everyone. The hard cider lineup typically includes a range of sweetness levels and flavor profiles.
Can I buy wine to take home from Parmenter's?
Michigan winery licenses generally allow on-site bottle sales, so guests can typically purchase bottles of wine to take home after a tasting. Selection varies by season, and popular bottles can sell out quickly during busy fall weekends.
Are the donuts made fresh on-site?
Yes, cider mill donuts at Northville's Parmenter's are made fresh throughout the day, and they're best enjoyed warm right off the fryer. They're a huge part of what keeps people coming back year after year.
Is Parmenter's open year-round?
Cider mills in Michigan often have seasonal operations or reduced hours outside of the fall peak season. It's worth checking Parmenter's current schedule before visiting in winter or early spring to make sure the winery and tasting areas are open.
