Cider Fest 2024

Join us for our second-annual Cider Fest! A celebration of all things cider! Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a wide array of local and regional cider brands offering tastings. Tickets include tastings and a commemorative tasting glass. We’ll host a variety of cider from all over, that range from modern more common table apples to heritage apples, a more traditional cider or multi-use apple. There are 6 different classifications of cider, depending upon ingredients and fermentation process, all of which will be available for sampling. Food available for purchase (as well as GF options). This is a 21+ event. Dogs are welcome!

Apple Immersive Experience 7pm

Join Gidon Coll, founder and president of Original Sin Cider, and Browi Borowski, founder of Chicago Cider Week, as they walk you through a tasting of unique apples and single-varietal ciders.

Did you know Cider Fest coincides with Johnny Appleseed’s birthday on September 26th? It’s the perfect reason to celebrate with our Apple Immersive Experience and raise a glass to the man who helped spread the love of apples across America!

Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate regional apple history and explore apples that taste unlike any found in your grocery store ranging from flavors of pineapple to black licorice. During the master class you will have the chance to sample a number of award winning single varieties ciders.

Limited tickets available. Master Class begins at 7pm during Cider Fest (class runs approximately 30 minutes).
