Fenceline Ciders
While Fenceline Ciders is technically located in Mancos, Co, this cidery is well worth the 20 minute drive. They offer a wide range of dry, sweet, or anywhere in between ciders, made from apples grown locally. Fenceline is located directly on the river, which adds to their all-around summer vibe.

“Paradise” on the Animas River
“Paradise” is a series of beaches on the Animas River, located behind the Recreation Center, down a small one-trek dirt trail. The trail leads to several beaches just off of the river. Many Durango locals of all ages spend time here during the summer. The beaches lend to swimming in the river or ample space to lay out and tan.
The Distillery, Durango, Co
The Distillery creates small batches of honey spirits locally in Durango. They are located on 11th st and main, within walking distance of all of Downtown Durango. The Distillery is not average for bars in Durango. Their kind customer service coupled with strong and tasty drinks make The Distillery distinctly itself.
