Discover some of the region’s best hard cider at the Hood River Cider Fest. Just an hour from Portland, the 8th annual event is bringing together more than 20 Oregon and Washington cideries.

Hood River Cider Fest

The cider fest is taking place April 29, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be more than 40 ciders on tap from familiar brands, like Portland Cider Company and Schilling and lesser known regional companies, like Draper Girls and Blue Mountain.

Head to Hood River Fairgrounds for the daylong festival. Sip on cider as you enjoy local music, crafts, food and a kids’ area with giant yard games. In case of spring showers, the cider tasting area is under a tent. 

General admission is $10. Tasting packages start at $25. Anyone under 21 attends for free. You can buy your tickets online now. Tickets will be available at the gate, if the event does not sell out.

One token gets you one pour from these great cideries. Additional tokens are available for $2.

The cider fest is at the Hood River Fairgrounds, 3020 Wyeast Rd. in Hood River. For more information and to buy tickets, visit Hood River Cider Fest’s website.
