Orchard Tour and hors d’oeuvres

Terroir is a is a French word used to describe the way in which a wine reflects a sense of place. We want to show you the elements that make up the terroir at Eve’s Cidery.

Some of these elements include where we grow our apples, how we grow our apples and which varieties we grow.

Get your blood flowing and join cider growers Autumn and Ezra and their special guest, pomologist Mike Biltonen for a tour of their Albee Hill orchards.

Part science, part magic, this tour will involve rigorous walking up and down rugged terrain, tasting a myriad of cider apples and other interesting surprises. Come prepared with questions about organic orcharding methods, traditional cider varieties, the meaning of life and a sense of adventure.

FREE, but you must RSVP and get a ticket. Space is limited
