Enjoy these Snapshots of Tales from CiderCon2020 which details a bit of what I experienced both before the conference, while on the Parajo Valley Cider Tour and then my recap on CiderCon held in Oakland.
Thank you to Santa Cruz Cider Company for donating fresh pressed Newtown Pippin juice for the bus full of people on the Parajo Valley Cider Tour and Soquel Cider for donating bottles of the most delicious Laura’s Orchard. These two ciders were opened before 9am as we rolled down the highway to our first stop of the day – Serventi Ranch Cider.
The next stop was at Five Mile Orchard with Jake Mann and Eric Rider of Rider Ranch Cider who served up his Newtown Pippin ciders from Five Mile Orchard.
For lunch and orchard walks we headed to Aptos where Tanuki and Santa Cruz Cider Company. Lunch was a buffet of Thai.
This photo was taken in front of the 80 year old Sequoia tree next to the Apple Barn.
From Aptos it was onward to our last stop of the day at Cider Junction, where Hemly’s Cider was also present. Publicans Tracy and Claudia provided a great presentation on the workings of running a successful cider bar, while filling our bellies with cheese and charcuterie.
A great time was had by all!
I also provide a recap of my time at CiderCon2020 once the conference got rolling.
