4th Annual Hood River Hard-Pressed Cider Fest Returns On April 22nd

Just an hour east of Portland the Hood River Valley is a source of apples, pears and other fruits that help make cider the influence it has today. The area boasts over 440 orchardists that assist in the today’s cider making.

To celebrate this bounty, the 4th annual Hood River Hard-Pressed Cider Fest returns on Saturday, April 22 from Noon until 7:00pm. This day will feature ciders from Hood River and beyond from over 25 cideries serving over 50 ciders.

The daylong event also features a lineup of local music, and a kids’ area, complete with a bouncy house. And if the weather does not cooperate there’s a covered hall for the tasting area.
