On November 8, join the Frontier Culture Museum, Virginia Humanities, and the Virginia Cider Association for a one of a kind event in Staunton, Virginia. From 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM, explore how apples and cider helped shape the culture of the Valley of Virginia through historical interpretation and modern day cider tastings.
The event will include living history demonstrations, author talks, live museum, and cider tasting.
Cider Festival at the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia will feature cider historian Mark Turdo. For over twenty years Mark A. Turdo, historian and museum professional, has been researching and recreating historic alcoholic cider. He is especially interested in early American cider and cider culture, including who was making it, who was drinking it, and why it was more common than beer.
In 2013 he began the Pommel Cyder blog (https://pommelcyder.wordpress.com) where he shares his adventures in cider research and his experiments in cidermaking.
We are excited to host a variety of cideries from Virginia, including: Ciders from Mars, Albemarle CiderWorks, Old Hill Cider, Daring Wine & Cider, Big Fish Cider Co.
We will also have Blue Ridge Cider Donuts, Smokeshow BBQ, and American Corndog Co. as our food vendors!
This event is a general admission event, with an additional option to add on a tasting ticket option, which includes five 4oz. pours from Virginia cideries.
