A festival to celebrate all things cider!
Back for its 6th year of celebrating New Zealand Cider, 2021 (now 12 Feb 2022) brings with it a number of exciting changes. The festival will be staged in the beautiful Hawkes Bay region at Tomoana Showgrounds, Hastings. The NZ Cider Festival showcases the finest award-winning ciders in NZ, all in one place!
