June 25 through June 28

We’re celebrating five years in Asheville and nine years of Botanist & Barrel with a full weekend of pizza, wine, cider, cheese, tinned fish, and, of course, cake.
There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when good people gather around delicious, fermented things.
Join us for a single event or make a weekend of it. We’ll be pouring special releases, hosting complimentary tastings, opening plenty of bottles, sharing great food, and raising a glass to everyone who has helped us grow from a small farm cidery into the wonderfully strange and beautiful thing we’ve become.
