Everyone at CiderWorks is very excited to celebrate the Spring season with our Blossom Festival! This year’s theme is Rustic Teatime…imagine Downton Abbey meets Tuscan Dreamland and you’ll have an idea of what to expect!
Join us on April 9th for a tea party catered by Farm Bell Catering, apple tastings, biscuits, tea sandwich pairings, a wreath-making workshop, baby sheep cuddling, and more! Enjoy the musical talents of Elias Schwartzman throughout the day who is sure to put you in the Springtime mood.
We are also pleased to welcome a selection of local vendors that will get you in the mood for all things Spring. Whether you are looking for scented sachets, hand-crafted cupcakes, herbal tonics, or plants and flowers, we will have you covered!
General admission is free and open to the public.
