Kick off Philly Cider Week this year at the sixth annual CiderFest at Woodford Mansion. Home Brewed Events and Philly Cider Week have teamed up to add one of your favorite fall cider events, CiderFest, to Philly Cider Week. Enjoy a picnic lunch and charcuterie board from Charming Charcuterie (available for purchase at the event) while sipping some of Philly’s finest ciders, wine, and cocktails. Bring a blanket and sprawl out on the lawn and listen to live music with a backdrop of the best leaf peeping Pennsylvania has to offer. Learn how local beekeepers are using the onsite beehive to restore the local bee population. Stroll through the famous mansion during the event to see why we are raising money for its preservation and renovations to protect the vast stories of this historic landmark. Event is rain or shine!
