The California Cider Cup is all about celebrating and recognizing great California cider in all forms.
We are inclusive, from the orchardist coaxing nuanced flavors from heirloom fruit to the modern ciderist pushing the boundaries of tradition.
We’re creating a friendly competition that showcases the creativity, craft, and character of this state’s great cider makers.
If you’d like to enter your ciders, sign up for our email list and follow us on social for updates and schedules.
Ciders will be judged blind by a distinguished panel of cider experts, including Certified Cider Professionals, beverage directors and buyers, writers, cider makers, taproom owners, and other industry professionals.
If you’re one of these industry professionals, email us if you’re interested in building the future of California Cider together.
