Walk, Talk & Taste Our Orchards

Craft Cider Week runs from 12-19 September 2026.

It's an invitation to experience our orchards at their fullest, learn the secrets of our craft cider and perry producers and sample last year’s vintages in the very places they were grown and pressed.

This year, local produce champion Oakchurch Farm Shop serves as our primary event hub, hosting talks, Q&As, and tastings. Across the County, cider producers and other partners are hosting their own events to celebrate this year's festivities.Herefordshire is the spiritual home of cider. At this special time of year, the delicious scent of ripening apples and pears is in the air as our artisan makers prepare for the harvest. They welcome you to their cider farms to stroll through fruit-laden orchards and discover how these glorious drinks are made. Afterwards, it’s tasting time! Savour a wide range of delicious small-batch ciders and perries, exploring the distinctive and diverse flavour profiles.
