8th Annual Old-Fashioned Cider Tasting
Event Information
About this event
This marks our 8th annual “Old Fashioned Cider Tasting” event at the Mill! All proceeds benefit the restoration of the Kimlin Cider Mill.
In response to COVID-19, we made changes to our event this year. Only non-alcoholic ciders are offered, available in pre-packaged to-go sample packs. The raffle is an online auction. 50 attendees are allowed on-site at any time, and therefore the hours of the event are extended. Face coverings required, hand sanitizer available throughout the area, and communal areas will be regularly cleaned.
- Free entry
- $10 – To-Go Tasting Package with 5 samples of local sweet ciders (non-alcoholic) including our Kimlin Cider, specialty tasting glass, and children’s goodies
- To-go package tickets are available at the door, but we strongly recommend you pre-purchase because they are limited to first 150 attendees and if you purchase online, you will be entered into an exclusive online-only raffle of a jug of Kimlim Cider! Our small-batch cider is made especially for this event only and is not sold or otherwise available except for tasting.
- Apple fritters, apple butter, and merchandise available for purchase at the event.
