The Northwest Cider Association (NWCA) announces the second annual BC Cider Week, an eight day craft cider celebration with many cider events, tastings and festivities anticipated throughout British Columbia.
The official BC Cider Week kick-off event takes place Sunday, October 16 from 2 – 6 p.m. at Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse on Vancouver Island (2487 Mt. St. Michael Rd. Saanichton).
This tasting-style event with local food purveyors and live music will present a variety of Northwest ciders, particularly BC makers. Tickets are available to the public and will include six cider tasting tickets, live entertainment with Adrian Chalifour from Towers & Trees and a chance to try dozens of delicious craft ciders!
“We have seen truly amazing growth in British Columbia’s cider industry, with some really innovative styles and products,” said Emily Ritchie, executive director of the Northwest Cider Association. “Cider lovers throughout the Northwest won’t want to miss these festivities and the chance to meet the makers of truly premium products.”
Throughout the week you'll find a wide range of tasting events at 11 cideries and dozens of other venues including Vancouver’s first cider bar, Orchard and the Sea. The week will close out with a big finish at Scenic Road Cider Co in Kelowna (770 Packinghouse Rd). Watch the calendar at www.nwcider.com as events are added.
