San Leandro, CA 94577
Where Blindwood Cider Company is located
You'll find Blindwood Cider Company just outside San Leandro, in the farm country of Alameda County, California. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
Most guests punch 2547 Williams Street, San Leandro into their phone and let GPS do the work, the entrance is signed from the road and there's a parking area once you turn in.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding Alameda County back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and San Leandro itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
