COMMUNITY EVENT + TICKETED TASTING: The Crowning Celebration: Cider Fest. Kentucky Cider Days culminates on Sunday, November 8, with the Kentucky Cider Festival at Wise Bird Cider Co. A special ticketed tasting that brings together more than a dozen cider and craft beverage producers from across the region, including West Sixth, Country Boy, Wise Bird Cider, and Turtleback Ridge to name a few. There will also be an international component -- think France, Spain, and England!

Our ticket will also include the debute our newest POMMEAU (think dessert style wine, like a port or brandy) which has been aging for two years in barrels from FORBIDDEN DISTILLING (from the wonderfully talented master distiller, Marianne Eaves). Keep checking the kyciderdays.com for more details as they come out!

But the fun doesn’t just begin and end with this fantastic cider line-up! Everyone can enjoy a whole day of Fall fun with games such as bocce and cornhole, family activities including kids apple decorating (with apples from our friends at Stepping Stone Farm in Cynthiana), balloon art with and crafting with On the Move Art Studio! Open to the public all day long, so everyone can enjoy the cider season under one roof!
