Sip, Savor, and Celebrate Local This November with Matchbox Rewards!
Looking for a cozy spot to unwind after class or a fun weekend hangout? This November, Matchbox is partnering with Sage Bird Ciderworks, a downtown Harrisonburg favorite that brings local flavor and a creative community together.
You’ll find Sage Bird at 325 N Liberty Street, just a short walk from City Exchange Apartments, The Kavanaugh, and Livery Lofts.
Your November Reward? A Free Dessert at Sage Bird!
All month long, Matchbox residents can enjoy a complimentary dessert with any visit to Sage Bird. You’ll have two sweet options crafted with local ingredients and fall flavors:
- Raspberry Sorbetto — a vegan, gluten-free treat topped with coconut flakes, lemon zest, and a lemon cookie.
- Apple Blossom Pastry — filled with spiced Shenandoah Valley apples and finished with whipped cream.
Perfect after a cider flight or mocktail, these desserts capture everything we love about fall in Virginia.
Why We Love Sage Bird
Founded by Amberlee and Zach Carlson, Sage Bird began as a small cidery making all of its cider in-house from Shenandoah Valley apples. Since opening in 2020, it has become a downtown staple, expanding to offer a wide variety of drinks, flatbreads, and desserts, all focused on local and gluten-free ingredients.
The taproom is used for live music, art classes, and monthly gallery shows that celebrate local creatives. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink, a bite, or a show, there’s always something happening at Sage Bird.
