WNCGBC to host Second Annual CiderFest NC

Friends of Samsel Architects, we invite you all to the WNC Green Building Council’s 2nd Annual CiderFest NC fundraiser event. All 14 cider-makers in North Carolina (plus some from out of state!) will debut their hard ciders at this event. The festival will be held at the WNC Farmers Market – 570 Brevard Rd., Asheville on Sunday, November 2nd, 2014 from 1 PM – 5 PM.

The WNCGBC will pair the refreshing and naturally gluten-free hard cider tastings with local cheeses and artisan handcrafted breads and crackers. Non-alcoholic organic cider will be served from our local organic apple growers as well as apple cider pretzels from Underground Baking Company.

WNCGBC’s CiderFest NC includes fall festivities for the whole family: cider & cheese tasting; live music by the Jon Stickley Trio; apple press demo; a “Hard Cider 101” discussion panel; cheese making demo; cider evaluation & awards by French Broad Vignerons; and free pumpkin painting and activities for the kids or young at heart! RAIN OR SHINE.

All proceeds will support the important work the WNC Green Building Council has been doing for 13 years in our community: promoting environmentally sustainable and health conscious building practices through community education and innovative programs.

Tickets are limited and we expect to sell out. Tickets on sale here. $30 (21+ Adults). Kids and young adults 20 and under are FREE.
