What's the NZ Cider Festival about?
Cider New Zealand recognised the demand in New Zealand for a national festival to showcase these great drinks to the public!
Currently, cider sales outstrip craft beer, which is represented at a number of festivals around the country. So we thought why not have a similar celebration for cider!
The festival is an annual celebration of the diversity of cider, including both traditional and new-world varieties from around the country.
Festival attendees have the opportunity to sample a range of products from our cider makers in a relaxed and friendly festival environment that incorporates local artisan food and great entertainment.
What can we expect in terms of entertainment?
Ella Pollett Music is one of the first musical acts to be announced (with many more to come!). Ella is an 18-year-old award-winning singer/songwriter from Hawke's Bay. Ella won the solo/duo RockQuest in 2021 & 2022, and she was the opening act for Rod Stewart's concert at Mission Estate.
