COLLINGWOOD, ON, Sep. 16, 2025 (CNW Group via COMTEX) --
From September 19 â?? 26, cideries across Ontario will celebrate the apple harvest with exclusive cider releases, live entertainment, giveaways and more. Follow the Craft Cider Trail, taste the variety of tart-to-sweet apples not commonly found in grocery stores, and sample the best of craft cider from apples grown right here in Ontario.
Ontario Craft Cider Week and the Craft Cider Trail are part of the Drink ON Applesâ?¢ promotional program with support from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness. The program and its logo help consumers identify local cider that's produced from 100% Ontario-grown apples. Â
In addition to cider, look for on-site farm markets selling fresh pies, jams and other goodies. Many farms also offer activities for families with younger kids, such as corn mazes and playgrounds. Be sure to dress for a rural experience and check hours of operation, farm fees, cider availability, reservations, and pet policies before visiting.
"Harvest season is always a busy time for our producers; still, it's inspiring to see their energy and enthusiasm as they open their orchards and share their bounty through so many events and activities. This spirit of welcome is at the heart of Craft Cider Week, and we encourage everyone to raise a glass and celebrate Ontario apples."â?? Janice Ruddock, Executive Director, Ontario Craft Cider Association
