Applefest returns November 2026

NOVEMBER 14 & 15 and 21 &22

Every harvest season, we bring the orchard to the city for our 2-weekend long Applefest Fall Festival. 
Both weekends are filled with apple treats, live music, cozy new merch, autumnal activities, hot mulled cider, new holiday bevvie releases, and our annual Community Crush — when you can roll up your sleeves, and help us sort, wash, and press apples on our old-fashioned rack-and-cloth press that Benny made himself! 

Applefest Community Crush 2026
Our free, public Community Crush apple pressing is held 12-5pm each day, with 30 minute time slots for volunteers. We encourage you to sign up online to guarantee your spot as walk-ups are first come, first served. Once the cider is ready after a few months, we'll invite you back to get a "Thank You" pint on the house of the cider YOU helped make!

PRE-ORDER

Pippin Pommeau: Batch 4

Apple Brandy + Apple Juice Blended & Barrel-Aged 3 Years
Collaboration with local craft distillers Loft & Bear Distillery 
18.9% ABV / 375 ml bottle / Price: $40 
Pommeau is a 1-year-old apple brandy blended with apple juice, then barrel-aged for another 2 years. The result is a glorious, boozy apple elixir at 18.9% ABV. Inspired by the traditional French style hailing from Normandy, France, our California take is made with 100% California Newtown Pippin apples and distilled locally at craft distillery Loft & Bear. Batch 4 is as Golden State as it gets. Serve slightly chilled in a cute glass for sipping before, during or after dinner…or really whenever you desire.
