Not every gathering belongs in a banquet hall with beige walls and bad coffee.

Some deserve something with more character.

Raging Cider & Mead Co in San Marcos, California offers full or partial private rental of our working cidery and meadery taproom for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, small corporate gatherings, tabletop gaming nights, D&D campaigns, celebrations, release parties, and whatever weird, wonderful idea you’ve been trying to get everyone together for.

This isn't a generic event space. It's an active cidery and meadery where production is part of the atmosphere. Stainless tanks, barrels, cider in motion, and a space with a little British punk attitude mixed with rustic charm and zero corporate energy.

Our standard seating comfortably accommodates around 30 guests across the taproom and patio, but the space can expand to accommodate up to 90 guests with additional indoor and outdoor seating arrangements.

Inside, you'll find a cozy working cidery with air conditioning, custom music through our sound system, and options for live music. Outside, our quiet patio offers a relaxed place to gather, complete with optional outdoor heating for cooler evenings.

No strangers here. Just good people, good drinks, and room to make the space your own.

With advance notice, we can build a more customized experience around your event.

• Custom cider and mead selections pulled from our inventory and placed on tap specifically for your gathering
• Custom tasting experiences and guided flights
• Projection screen with full audio for movies, slideshows, presentations, sports, photos, or your own media
• Personalized music throughout the space
• Live music options available
• Whether you want a casual birthday hangout, a guided tasting experience, or a full themed event, we can help shape it around your vision
• Options for private events on days beyond our standard business days and hours

Bring your own food, invite your favorite food vendors, or let us help arrange custom catering for your event.

Want taco carts? Charcuterie? Elevated comfort food? Cake and desserts?

We’re flexible. You can also bring your own non-alcoholic beverages for guests.

The lineup changes often, but your event can include everything from:

• Dry ciders with structure and character
• Semi-sweet meads made with local honey
• Native fermented wines
• Small batch and seasonal releases
• Rich dessert-style pours like pommeau and specialty cider or mead creations that pair beautifully with cakes and celebratory treats

Because if you're celebrating something important, the drinks should feel like part of the occasion.

Located in San Marcos, California with plenty of free parking available.

Gather your crew. Bring your ideas. We'll handle the cider.
