Toast to Virginia Craft Cider

Virginia Cider Week is November 15–24, inviting cider lovers to explore the rich heritage and flavors of Virginia Cider. With a thriving cider industry rooted in centuries of tradition, Virginia is now the sixth-largest apple-producing state, and its cider makers are passionate about crafting exceptional cider from Virginia-grown apples.

Virginia Cider Trail

Virginia Cider Week has arrived, along with the launch of the Virginia Cider Trail! Celebrate Virginia’s longstanding cider traditions with a journey across the Commonwealth.

The Virginia Cider Trail is a free, mobile pass that lets you check in at over 30 cideries statewide. Collect points with each visit to redeem for exclusive prizes while exploring the unique flavors of Virginia cider. Whether you’re a seasoned cider fan or just starting out, download the mobile pass and kick off your Cider Week adventure!

Join the Celebration

Virginia Cider Week began in 2012, when the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate passed House Joint Resolution 105, designating the week before Thanksgiving as a celebration of Virginia cider. Since then, cideries statewide have marked the occasion with festivals, tastings, pairing dinners, workshops, and open houses—a true testament to the growth and diversity of Virginia’s cider industry. Raise a glass to Virginia Cider Week and explore the exciting events planned for this year!
