Join us for some amazing ciders!
The Minnesota Cider Guild presents the third annual Small Batch VIP Cider Session.
Mark your calendars, cider friends — Small Batch is back for year three! 🍎
The Minnesota Cider Guild’s Third Annual Small Batch VIP Cider Session returns June 6, 2026, from 2–5 PM at Ashery Lane Farm in Mayer, Minnesota, celebrating the creativity, experimentation, and craftsmanship shaping Minnesota’s cider scene.
This unique event highlights limited-run, experimental, and small-batch ciders — the kinds of pours that rarely make it beyond the cidery walls. Many of the ciders featured will be exclusive to this event, giving attendees a rare chance to taste innovative creations and passion projects directly from the makers themselves.
Guests can look forward to:
Exclusive small-batch cider tastings available only at the event
A hands-on cider blending workshop
Small bites and snacks to enjoy alongside the pours (for purchase)
A curated collection of local vendors offering items that pair perfectly with cider and wine flights, with various goods available for purchase
Educational conversations with cider makers and cidery owners
Opportunities to learn about the apples, techniques, and creativity driving Minnesota cider forward
