Cider Trail Events
The FLX Cider Trail is collaboration between cideries and apple growers in upstate New York. The Trail spans the Finger Lakes Region (Haudenosaunee land), with orchards and tasting rooms overlooking Keuka Lake to the west and clustered between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes to the east. A drive through the renowned Finger Lakes Wine Country is also a tour of our nationally recognized hard cideries producing in a climate well suited to apples. All of our partner cideries produce their own cider and many grow their own apples- your visit is likely to be right in the middle of a working farm.
Please check out the specifics for visiting each of our partners at our cideries.
