Raise a glass to Aotearoa’s finest cider
Celebrate the art of cider-making in the heart of New Zealand’s cider capital. With top-notch drops, live music, local food, and unbeatable spring vibes, the NZ Cider Festival is a refreshing day out you don’t want to miss.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Nelson Tasman, the NZ Cider Festival is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the country’s best ciders—and the passionate makers behind them. As New Zealand’s original and only dedicated cider festival, it’s your chance to sample award-winning blends, discover new favourites, and chat with the experts in one laid-back, sun-soaked spot.
There’s more than cider on offer—think tasty bites from local food vendors, live music that keeps the good times flowing, and plenty of space to kick back with your mates. Whether you’re a seasoned cider connoisseur or just keen to sip something new, this festival is all about flavour, fun, and celebrating the craft.
Nelson Tasman is the heart of New Zealand’s cider scene, thanks to our apple-growing heritage, long sunshine hours, and a bunch of clever local producers. The NZ Cider Festival is your invitation to experience it all.
