Press Release

(SEATTLE –– July 12, 2023) –– The annual Cider Summit Seattle, the region’s largest hard cider tasting festival, is coming back, this time with an even more diverse range of product selections. Cider Summit Seattle will take place Friday, September 8 from 3 – 8 p.m. (VIP session at 2 p.m.) and Saturday, September 9 from noon – 5 p.m. at Lake Union Park @ MOHAI, 860 Terry Ave. N., adjacent to The Museum of History & Industry. Attendees can also purchase access to a hosted, four-course pairing that will take place from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m on Saturday, September 9. The tasting will feature sips from Finnriver Cider and bites from Cypress Grove Cheese and Salt Blade Hand Crafted Meats.

“We are thrilled to be returning to the beautiful Lake Union Park for our 12th annual festival,” said Alan Shapiro, Cider Summit co-founder and producer. “Each year we look forward to bringing new ciders and flavors of the Pacific Northwest for our attendees to savor.”

Presented by Teku Tavern + Café, more than 50 cideries convene at Cider Summit to share over 150 ciders, meads, cider cocktails, and fruit spirits from Pacific Northwest favorites to international classics – nearly half of which have not previously been poured at the event. Many cidermakers will be on hand to guide guests through tasting experiences.

“Gathering with friends to discover an array of new ciders is a quintessential way to welcome fall,” said Michelle McGrath, CEO of the American Cider Association. “A crisp cider paired with artisan foods and a view of Lake Union makes for the perfect September day.��
