Savor the season with an Arbor Day Farm Wine or Hard Cider Tasting — one of our most popular fall weekend events. Sample four wines for just $10. Learn more about Arbor Day Farm wine.
For hard cider, we’ll be sampling three top sellers from Saro Cider in Lincoln, Nebraska, as well as Joy Harvest — a limited variety made collaboratively with Arbor Day Farm for this year’s AppleJack celebration.
AppleJack Weekend tastings will take place in the Depot area near the Tree Adventure. Just look for the signs, grab your tasting, and sit back and relax while looking over the beautiful Arbor Day Farm orchard.
You must be 21 or older to participate in this event. During non-AppleJack Weekends, wine tasting will be available Tuesday-Sunday in the Apple House Market.
Celebrate the tastes of the Arbor Day Farm orchard with a hard cider tasting experience at the Apple House Market. The founder and original brewer from Saro Cider will talk about the cider-making process and help you navigate your way through the crisp and delightful offerings. Arbor Day Farm’s orchard and grounds manager will also be on hand to talk about apples, orcharding, and the cider press.
The tasting features four Saro ciders made specially from Arbor Day Farm apples plus a sample of our popular non-alcoholic apple cider. We’ll have small bites for you to enjoy as well as you discover which one pairs best with each cider.
After learning, tasting, and noshing, you’ll grab a glass of your favorite cider and head to the Tree Adventure for a guided Discovery Ride along the orchard and through the backwoods of Arbor Day Farm.
Just $60/person (includes tax). You must be 21 years or older to participate in this event. Purchase tickets here. Ticket sales close at 4pm on August 20.
For those wanting Porter’s barbecue at the end of the event, we encourage you to pre-order before leaving on the ride. This is not included in the tasting experience, but would be a great addition to your evening.
