Seattle! Want to attend the Cider Summit this September 8 & 9 in South Lake Union?

Cider Summit SEA is hosting 200 ciders, meads, and cider cocktails including regional favorites and international classics. You'll meet cider makers and taste popular and new releases from around the world!

“Artisanal cider has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the craft beverage market in recent years,” noted event co-founder, Alan Shapiro. “The Cider Summit exposes thousands of cider lovers and the cider curious to these artfully crafted beverages.”

The festival will also feature specially-paired food selections that will be available for purchase from Whole Foods Market and Capitol Cider along with other small bites.  There will be a “Dog Lounge” hosted by Seattle Humane and Downtown Dog Lounge will have groomers on-site offering complimentary nail trims, pad shaves, sanitary trims, face & fanny trims, and brush outs! 

Among the nearly 200 selections, several will be created specifically for the festival as part of the Oregon Fruit Products Fruit Cider Challenge.  Attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite via text with the winners announced at the conclusion of the event.
