More about this event

Join us for our 7th annual celebration of BC craft cider – right here at the Merridale farm where it all began! As BC’s first craft cidery, we’re proud to bring together land-based cider makers from across the province for this rare tasting adventure.Each cidery grows their own apples and uses traditional, hands-on methods to craft cider with care, character, and a deep respect for the land. It’s a rare chance to sip, savour, and explore the diverse flavours of true craft cider – all in one scenic location.

Bring your friends, grab your tickets, and don’t miss this unforgettable cider celebration!
