Let’s connect: Every Thursday at 4pm PT we are hosting a virtual happy hour. Each week we’ll meet and taste with a different cidery around the Pacific Northwest. Take a trip to Vancouver Island, meet baby goats in Oregon and learn more about a family that explores and crafts cider together in Idaho.
We look forward to sharing a glass together from the comfort of our own homes. Literally, from our home to yours.
Sea Cider 4/23
Need a little getaway? This week, our virtual happy hour will visit beautiful British Columbia. Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse, located minutes from Victoria on Vancouver Island is award-winning, crafting artisanal ciders from organic orchards with over 50 varieties of heritage apples.
