Cider Week New York will be celebrated statewide September 29 through October 9. Events will include cider tastings, orchard tours, chef and cider pairings, cider markets and more. 

“Celebrating Cider Week New York is a great way to support small business, taste one of New York’s premium agricultural products, and enjoy all the iconic flavors and experiences the fall brings to New York,” says Scott Ramsey, executive director of the New York Cider Association, the organization that produces the event, which has been celebrated for more than 10 years.

“The exciting growth of New York State’s cider industry has strong roots in the Hudson Valley’s 350-year history of commercial apple growing,” says presenting sponsor Dutchess Tourism Inc. President and CEO Melaine Rottkamp. “New York Cider Week is a chance for us to celebrate the ‘keepers of the craft’ and the way their passion and skill elevates our Hudson Valley ingredients. We invite everyone to check out our new Dutchess Tourism Taste Finder craft beverage pass which features three of our fantastic Dutchess County orchard cideries.”
