Interested in pouring your ciders at Cider Share?
If you’re a cidermaker, consider applying to serve your ciders at Cider Share. Cideries will be selected through a lottery, with attention to geography and style. Pouring space is limited so please submit your application for consideration as soon as possible.
Tasting sessions provide a unique opportunity to learn more about the art and science of cidermaking by sipping on the cider styles that are being discussed.
Tasting sessions can be added on during registration.
*Please be aware that space is limited and several tasting sessions overlap. We encourage you to double check that your tickets do no overlap so that other attendees have the chance to enjoy tasting sessions as well.
Whether it's your first CiderCon® or your 16th, don't miss out on adding this year's CiderCon® 2026 t-shirt to your collection. The design will be released soon!
