Bristol Cider Week Special: Cider & Cheese Tasting

Discover the ultimate flavour showdown of two of the West Country’s finest delights: cider and cheese.

Hosted by The Cider Box as part of Bristol Cider Week, this one-off tasting experience celebrates the craft, heritage, and terroir of award-winning cidermakers and cheesemakers from across the region. Expect bold pairings, rare pours, and expert insight in the UK’s Capital of Cider.

What to expect from this deliciously unique experience:

You’ll journey through the cider heartlands of Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire, sampling a curated selection of craft ciders – from champagne-method bottles to single varietals and rare perries – all perfectly paired with small-batch cheeses from local independent producers. Inspired by the age-old adage “what grows together, goes together,” every pairing has been thoughtfully chosen to bring out the best in both.

Your ticket includes:

• Three generous pours of craft cider
• Three artisan cheeses from regional producers
• A celebratory toast of 5-year aged Somerset cider brandy
• Guided tasting notes and insights from a local cider expert

Perfect for foodies, cheese lovers, and cider-curious locals or visitors looking to toast Bristol Cider Week in style. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or just here for the cheese, this flavour-forward evening is not to be missed.
