What is Ciderology?
- Ciderology is about understanding the way cider making has evolved over the centuries, from the heart of cider country to the new wave of cider makers.
- It's about learning how terroir and climate affect the quality of cider, just like a wine; and how to match your favourite dishes with the perfect cider.
- It's about wassailing, community and tradition, but is also about the innovative and creative craft cider makers emerging all over the world.
