Yip Cider Boardroom & Lounge — Corporate Meetings with Orchard Tastings in Long Reach

At Yip Cider's Boardroom & Lounge in Long Reach, New Brunswick, Corporate Bookings - Boardroom & Lounge offers teams a practical, character-rich place to gather for meetings and small events. Located in this coastal-farm region, the space pairs functional meeting tech with cider-country hospitality.

The booking reserves two connected rooms: a formal Boardroom and an adjoining Lounge. The Boardroom includes private Wi‑Fi, a 65-inch 4K TV for presentations, a private washroom, and a table that converts into a ping-pong setup—an easy way to switch from focused work to light team play. The Lounge provides extra seating for meals, coffee breaks, and small-group conversation. Both rooms are available Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. for groups of 10–50, giving flexibility for half-day workshops, strategy sessions, and staff retreats.

Add-ons make the day distinctively local. Catering from The Press is available during booking, and an optional Private Tour & Tasting can be added for $19.95 per person (minimum ten guests). That guided production tour and four-cider tasting fold the region’s orchard culture into your corporate day. From September through October you can also arrange seasonal apple picking at Mackay Apple Orchard, roughly 3 km from the taproom, which is a simple outdoor activity that brings colleagues outside and into the apple harvest rhythm.

Practical details matter: select any food or experiences when booking so the team can coordinate timing and staffing. The Boardroom and Lounge are in a section that is not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly and discuss needs with staff after booking. Evening and weekend requests require an inquiry.

Why choose this setup for your next meeting? It’s a space that balances professionalism with a sense of place: meeting-ready tech and private facilities, paired with the option to sample local cider and visit a nearby orchard. The ping-pong-ready table and relaxed lounge allow a quick morale reset between agenda items, while the tasting and orchard visit provide an easy, memorable team-building activity without a full retreat footprint.

Logistics are straightforward: weekday availability, maximum 50 guests, and clear add-on pricing. Book groups of ten or more to access tours; apple picking is seasonal and subject to availability. After you reserve the rooms, a member of the Yip Cider team coordinates the schedule so your meeting runs smoothly. For teams visiting Long Reach, this is a practical, locally flavored alternative to standard corporate venues.

Plan to arrive early to set up A/V, and designate a point person for coordination. The venue supports hybrid meetings with strong Wi‑Fi but test video and audio beforehand. If you add the Private Tour & Tasting, build 45–60 minutes into agenda. For apple picking, bring sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate outerwear during the harvest months.
