Fall means apples, which means you should put down your summer rosé and pick up a bottle of hard cider.
The first Philadelphia Cider Week is happening this fall, running from Tuesday, Oct. 23, through Halloween.
Bars and restaurants across the city will host events featuring ciders from around the world. Below, we've rounded up six (we couldn't pick just five!) Cider Week events worth checking out.
Enjoy an intimate, seven-course dinner paired with seven ciders from Newport, Vt. Each course will also include cheese – and what's better than cheese?
If you want to attend, you'll need to purchase a ticket.
