2026 Ciderfest at Bellewood Farms & Distillery

You're invited to the 13th annual Ciderfest at Bellewood Farms & Distillery, located between Bellingham and Lynden, in the middle of Whatcom County, Washington. Bellewood Farms is the largest apple orchard in Western Washington, and we love hard apple cider. We're celebrating the craft cider makers in the PNW. We hope you'll join us.

Event details:

• Cider tastings and talk to local PNW hard cider crafters,
• Tasty food, local beers & cider on tap,
• Live music from Gladstone
• Take home a commemorative sipping glass
• Tastings of Bellewood's own apple spirits
• Homebrew contest, prizes, and more!

Tickets are available here on Eventbrite and are limited to 350 attendees. $35 per person (includes 10 cider tastings and 6 distillery tastings). Get your ticket early, as this event normally sells out early.
