More about this event

New to cider, cider curious, or a fan who wants to know more about the world of cider, including how to sample it? This event is for you!

Join me, Sean Connolly, an American Cider Association Certified Pommelier, for an informative and entertaining 101-level session diving into the wide world and styles of cider. Meet fellow cider aficionados, explore some history, how it’s made, harvest a little bet-you-didn’t know trivia, play some cider-focused games, and best of all, get a curated, diverse flight of six cider samples and tasting tips to increase your cider knowledge, tune up your nose and palate, impress your friends, and help plan future cider adventures.
