(SEATTLE ... ) –– Cider Summit Seattle, a popular artisanal hard cider tasting festival in South Lake Union, is launching its first-ever virtual experience in Seattle due to COVID-19. This year’s exclusively digital festival is taking a second bite of the apple to honor physical distancing while still celebrating Washington state’s cider makers.

Cider Summit is curating two options for Festival To-Go Tasting Kits: the Modern Cider kit and Bottled Classics kit. Both kits feature a variety of craft ciders, two Cider Summit logoed 6-ounce stemless tasting glasses and a bar towel, access to the guided virtual tasting, and small gifts from participating cidermakers such as pins, coasters, stickers, and coupons.

The Modern Cider kit is $42 (+ taxes & fees) and features eight ciders, including:
  • Bad Granny – Ginger Lime (Wenatchee, WA)
  • Herb's Cider – Black Note (Blackberry Semi Dry) (Bellingham, WA)
  • Incline Cider – Blood Orange (Tacoma, WA)
  • Schilling Cider – Chaider Chai Spice (Auburn, WA)
  • Seattle Cider Co. – Spiced Peach (Seattle, WA)
  • Tieton Cider Works – Hazy Strawberry (Yakima, WA)
  • Virtue Cider – Salut! Cider Summit Collaboration (Fennville, MI)
  • Yonder Cider – Dry (Wenatchee, WA)
The Bottled Classics kit is $69 (+ taxes & fees) and features six specialty and premium ciders, including:
  • Alpenfire Cider – Traditional Cuvee (Port Townsend, WA)
  • Chatter Creek Cider – Rosecco (Woodinville, WA)
  • Finnriver Farm & Cidery – Friends of the Garden (Chimacum, WA)
  • Liberty Ciderworks – Garratza (Spokane, WA)
  • Snowdrift Cider Co. – Perry (Wenatchee, WA)
  • Virtue Cider – Salut! Cider Summit Collaboration (Fennville, MI)
“Washington state is the heart of our nation’s apple country, and Seattle loves its craft cider,” said Alan Shapiro, Cider Summit co-founder and producer. “While we wish we were raising a glass in person, creating a safe, at-home experience with tasting kits keeps us connected to our festival attendees and partners during the pandemic.”

The guided virtual tasting included with each kit is a Cider Festival in a (Zoom) Box and co-hosted with Northwest Cider Association (NWCA). As part of Washington Cider Week, this virtual party on Saturday, September 12 at 6 p.m. brings together several of the participating cidermakers to share tasting notes, cocktail recipes and entertainment. The at-home sipping session is meant to be shared and enjoyed. Proceeds also provide support for NWCA to assist cideries around the region hit hard during the pandemic.
