Specialty Cider Tasting with Eden Ciders

Riley Duffie from Eden Ciders will be at the Merriweather Inn to talk about ciders and share knowledge during this cider-tasting event that includes five specialty ciders with food pairings.

Based in the “Northeast Kingdom” of Vermont, Eden Ciders is passionate about the quality of flavor that comes from unique apple varieties grown by local, small-scale orchards in Vermont. The company produce a wide range of ciders, from driest to sweetest, with different methods of production, using single varieties and blends.

Eden Ciders was founded in 2007 by Eleanor and Albert Leger when they purchased an abandoned dairy farm in West Charleston and made an experimental batch of Ice Cider in the basement of their home. Slowly, they expanded the team to include head orchardist Ben Applegate, and built connections with other Vermont orchards passionate about sustainable agriculture and working with their terroir.
