Northwest Cider Association's 2nd Annual Cider Maker's Dinner
Yacht Club on Lake Union
Seattle, WA
Our 2nd annual Cider Maker's Dinner offers a remarkable opportunity to taste many of our beverages, while learning about the cider process from orchard to glass. The first hour of the event will feature a casual open bar with appetizers, offering tastes from member cideries, and with the cider makers on hand to answer your questions. Want to learn the technical differences between methode champenoise and force carbination? Curious about the types of apples used to create such a variety of flavors? Want to hear about the latest products these cideries are working on? This is your chance to ask the experts while enjoying the fruits of their labor.
The evening is catered by sustainable caterer Ravishing Radish, known for their commitment to local, seasonal ingredients. Chef JoAnna Cruz will prepare a three-course meal, with each course paired with a different Northwest craft cider.

Questions about this event |
| Question: |
We are registering for this dinner but I have a gluten allergy and want to make sure there can be a substitute (of any sort) for the appetizer, and make sure my entree can be gluten free. Thank you!! |
| Answer: |
Sadly I do not think there is a GF appetizer substitute, but I could be wrong on that. However the chef works gluten free regularly and we did put in a request for a gluten free menu or options. It's a good idea when dealing with cider I think and it also affects some of us in the Northwest Cider Association as well. |
