This year’s Cider Week New York, held from October 5-13, brought a wave of excitement to the city with a packed lineup of cider-centric events and tastings. From intimate dinners to lively festivals, New Yorkers embraced the spirit of craft cider at top bars, restaurants, and retail spots across the city.

Cider Week New York is more than a celebration—it’s a bridge connecting cider makers to buyers, industry professionals, and cider enthusiasts. It gives cider makers a platform to showcase their craft, while helping to revive heirloom apple varieties and support local orchards. For the trade, Cider Week offers tastings, educational resources, and opportunities to connect directly with top cider producers. Consumers, in turn, enjoy a week filled with events like cider-paired dinners, psychic medium nights, trivia, bingo, and karaoke, creating unforgettable experiences that highlight the versatility of New York cider.

This year’s festivities garnered attention from multiple news channels, further amplifying the profile of New York cider and fostering a deeper appreciation for regional, small-batch production. For anyone who attended, it was a week of discovery, flavor, and fun—and a reminder of the vibrant cider culture growing right here in New York.

Stay tuned as we look forward to next year’s Cider Week, with even more exciting events and new cider makers to showcase. Cheers to another successful Cider Week and to the incredible cider community that made it possible!
