About this event

The Wild Cider Cup: A Conservancy Competition is celebrating wild cider and local conservancies! You may recognize the cider name W.A.R.P., which we have partnered with the Hudson Taconic Lands (formerly the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance) on for quite a few years now. We have expanded this program to now include Hudson Taconic Lands, Saratoga PLAN, and the Columbia Land Conservancy. Each of these wonderful organizations picked apples in Fall 2024 with their incredible volunteers, and now those ciders are ready!

On May 18 from 12:00 - 3:00 pm we will be hosting the Wild Cider Cup - a blind taste test of the three ciders produced. Each ticket comes with a tasting glass and a sample of the three ciders. You will then rank them from favorite to least favorite, and the winning conservancy will get an extra donation! The winner will be announced at 3:30 (gives us a little time to count the ballots)!

*A portion of the proceeds from each cider will go to their respective conservancies.

Organized by

Nine Pin Cider

Nine Pin is New York's first farm cidery and our mission is simple: we support New York agriculture by producing quality craft ciders using 100% local New York apples and fruit. Our apples are sourced from Capital Region and Hudson valley Orchards

We are dedicated to creating exceptional off-dry ciders, and to the orchards that make them possible. Apple varieties are carefully selected and blended to achieve a complex, balanced flavor with a clean and pleasantly drinkable finish.

Our cider celebrates the amazing quality and breadth of local New York agriculture. We source all of our apples and fruit from Capital Region and Hudson Valley orchards to ensure an entirely local and high quality product.

Visit our Tasting Room in Albany, NY for a rotating selection of 9 premium and limited small batch Nine Pin ciders as well as local New York beers and cocktails. Pair cider with one of our gourmet sourdough personal pizzas or small plates.
