Sun, 11/24/2024 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm

We are excited to host a book signing and talk by Alistair Reece & J. Mark Stewart, on their newly released book: "Virginia Cider: A Scrumptious History"! Come meet and mingle with these local authors, as they launch their project.

"When the adventurers aboard the Susan Constant, Discovery, and Godspeed stepped foot on Virginian soil they brought with them the traditional English love of cider. Required by statute to plant orchards, the apple played a central part in the development of the colony as its juice became the favored libation of every class of society. From the modest laborer to the table of Thomas Jefferson, cider was Virginia’s tipple of choice. More than 400 years later, the libation is enjoying a renaissance. Read about a new generation of makers re-introducing Virginians to their original craft beverage."

Tickets are not required for this event, and books will be available to purchase on site.
