Baltic Cider Events

or the first time ever, Baltic Cider is part of the official program at CiderCon® 2026 (February 2-5) - the biggest cider conference in the world, taking place in Providence, Rhode Island (USA).

On February 5, we’ll host the panel “World of Cider: The Baltic Region”, exploring cider culture in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — where tradition meets innovation. We will share our stories and explore the character, traditions, and the identity of Baltic cider. Asnāte Ziemele from the Baltic Cider team will moderate the session, and our cider makers-Abuls, Mr. Plūme, and Pienjāņi - will present 3 specially selected ciders for tasting.

You can also taste ciders from Pienjāņi, Abuls Cidery, Mr. Plūme and Lauskis at the Cider Share Welcoming Reception on February 3.

Proud to share the Baltic cider story with the world!

Craft apple ciders from Latvia, Estonia and Finland made a remarkable debut at the Australian Cider Awards (ACA) – Australia’s largest and most prestigious cider competition – winning 27 medals across multiple categories.

Presentation, tasting, and discussion dedicated to introducing authentic Baltic and Finnish ciders to Australia.

We are bringing a distinguished high-quality product crafted from the natural juice of apples cultivated in our orchards. This cider is the result of meticulous handcrafting, and we are proud to introduce it to a global audience.

During these events, we will provide an overview of the cidermaking process in the Baltics and Finland. We will present a selection of our artisanal ciders for tasting, complemented by traditional Latvian appetizers chosen to enhance the unique flavor profiles. We will also discuss the opportunities for culinary tourism, inviting you to visit our cideries and orchards as a travel destination.
