September 15th Certified Cider Guide™ Workshop at South Hill

Certified Cider Guide™ Workshop at South Hill in Ithaca, NY

The American Cider Association is so excited to collaborate with South Hill Cider to host this Certified Cider Guide™ Workshop, tasting experience, and certification.

This workshop is meant for all, and is the first Level of the American Cider Association's in-depth international cider education program, Certified Cider Professional.

We have a wonderful afternoon planned, including a Certified Instructor-led in-person training session and an "introduction to sensory evaluation" tasting experience featuring the five cider families. Participants in this workshop will also be able to take the test online immediately after the training or at a later date.

The cost per person is $189, which includes in-person training, an instructor-led tasting experience, a downloadable study guide, a cidery tour, and the online exam fee. Please note that ACA members will receive $50 off registration when using their member discount code.

The member discount code is available in the Resource Hub.

All are welcome! Please share this event with anyone who sells cider, works in a tasting room or retail shop, chefs, sommeliers, cicerones, buyers, and cidermakers who are interested in cider education or in adding a cider certification to their accreditation.
