The Fields Park
1099 NW Overton St, Portland
Cider Summit Portland, the area’s largest cider tasting festival, will be held in Portland June 10 and Jun 11 at The Fields Park, 1099 NW Overton St. in Portland’s Pearl District. This year, Cider Summit returns to an in-person celebration in Portland after two years of virtual events. Attendees will enjoy a tasting selection of 150+ hard ciders from the industry’s leading cidermakers, many of whom will be on hand to guide guests through the available lineup.
“There is nothing like getting together-in person with friends and enjoying great cider in the fresh air,” said festival founder Alan Shapiro. “I am so excited to announce the return of Cider Summit to The Fields Park. After two years away, I think it will be a wonderful celebration of our local cider community!”
Event hours are Friday, June 10, from 3pm to 8pm (a VIP session allows early entry at 2pm) and Saturday, June 11, from Noon to 5pm. The last pour is 15 minutes prior to the close of each day’s session.
Hard cider continues to be a fast-growing alcoholic beverage category in the United States, with sales increasing from $44 million in 2008 to $506 million in 2018. Sales continue to increase, growing 4.5% over the last two years, with regional ciders growing at an even stronger clip, increasing 11%.
In addition to cider tasting, Cider Summit Portland will also feature: live music from several of Portland’s top blues artists; a dog lounge co-hosted by Portland Pet Food and DoveLewis; a fruit spirits and cider cocktail lounge; a harvest cider pavilion showcasing traditional cidermaking from the orchard; and an on-site retail store featuring select cider bottles and cans to go along with event merchandise. Several food vendors will also have food available for purchase and sampling.
A selection of cidermakers will also participate in the sixth annual Oregon Fruit Products Fruit Cider Challenge, creating specialty pilot batch fruit ciders using Oregon Fruit Products puree. Attendees vote for their favorite cider via text, and the winners are announced at the conclusion of the event on Saturday.

I recently started drinking cider and I don’t know if I’m going back to hops anytime soon! Seriously, though, the drier the better and I hope to try some really good lesser-known ciders as well.
I moved here two years ago and EACH of the past two years Cider Fest was canceled. Hopefully this year I can make it PLUS get hooked up with free tickets?!?!?! Much love and keep going you PDX<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

What could be better than an outdoor event with lots of cider and a dog lounge?! Woof, I wanna go.
If I win I’ll jump for joy and cheer with pomme pommes! (pomme=apple in french) 🍎 🍏

Last minute under the wire, fingers crossed!
