Morton Arboretum Cider & Ale Fest

As the season turns to fall, CiderScene will take in all the sights and sounds of autumn. In alignment with fall, The Morton Arboretum will be putting on the Morton Arboretum Cider & Ale Festival in Lisle, IL on October 22.  If you are not familiar with the space, Morton Arboretum is a beautiful 1,700-acre plot of land with over 180,000 cataloged plants from across the US and abroad.

The event will feature ciders and seasonal beers from local cideries and breweries and beyond (wow, space is neat)!  There will be guest restaurants featured and the Arboretum concessions will also be open as well.  The event will be open from 1 to 5PM for general admission ($50 for non-members) and 12 to 5pm for VIP’s ($70 for non-members).  For those not drinking, of course, there will be a DD ticket for $15 per person.  General admission tickets will include a souvenir glass, 15 3oz tasting tickets, and live music as entertainment.  VIP tickets will include the general admission offerings as well as special and limited release items to sample.
