Cider Salon Bristol

About

The Cider Salon returns to Bristol to once again showcase the best ciders from around the world. The Cider Salon Bristol will comprise a week of talks, tastings, label art exhibitions and dinners with independent venues across the city from 3rd to the 9th June.

The Salon itself is a major tasting event with 30 producers pouring a total of 90 speciality ciders, to be held at the Trinity Centre on June 8th from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. This is the opportunity to try some of the most carefully crafted bottled ciders from the UK and as far afield as Estonia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the USA. 

In addition to the main tasting event, there will also be a city-wide programme of fringe events. Cider and food matching is at the heart of the Cider Salon 2019, with possibly the UK’s finest ever Cider Dinner, taking place at Yurt Lush on Friday 7th June, plus a week of cider-inspired menus from the likes of Dela, Poco and West Street Kitchen. Some events through the week and over the weekend are ticketed, but a number are also free.
