The London Cider Salon is back! Sample some of the finest ciders and perries, meet the makers and join some fascinating talks

It’s blossom season in the cider world, the start of a wonderful, natural cycle; With it The London Cider Salon returns to Tate for a third year, providing an intimate opportunity to taste a vast array of the finest ciders and perries acompanied by a series of talks cider-making, biodiversity and the benefits of traditional orchides.

This is not mass market cider, which often uses water and apple concentrate, this is the drink Laurie Lee called the 'wine of wild orchards', and diarist John Evelyn titled 'the native wine of England'. From traditional classic styles to innovative blends and co-ferments, the London Cider Salon showcases the variety and depths cider can hold when you venture beyond the mass market.

But this is also a chance to celebrate orchards, the biodiversity and environmental positives they can provide. A series of talks will accompany the London Cider Salon, covering this topic and more. Continue your night at The Corner with a Salon special menu of West Country Cuisine, live DJ’s and a Cider Makers Masterclass.
