 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=11670\n\nCelebrate Virginia Cid
 er Week with a special tasting.  This event is hosted by the Museum in par
 tnership with the Alexandria-Caen Sister Cities Committee and includes cid
 er tastings\, music\, and light refreshments.  During the course of the ev
 ening\, learn more about the growing Virginia cider industry and its conne
 ction to the historic tavern and the Caen region of France\, all while enj
 oying ciders from Albemarle\, Blue Bee Cider\, Cobbler Mountain Cellars\, 
 Corcoran\, and Foggy Ridge Cideries.  \n\nWhile Virginia wineries have mad
 e headlines the past few years\, Virginia cider is beginning to move into 
 the spotlight\, with sales up 200% from 2014 to 2015.  Virginia Governor T
 erry McAuliffe called the cider industry the "new shining star" and sees i
 t as one of the cornerstones in the private sector "to build a new Virgini
 a economy."\n\nIn the late 18th and early 19th centuries\, Gadsby's Tavern
  was the center of social and political life in Alexandria and the new Fed
 eral City of Washington.  The tavern served as the premier gathering place
  for residents - including George Washington - and visitors to eat\, drink
 \, learn\, and influence history. \n\nThe Alexandria-Caen Sister City Comm
 ittee is a volunteer committee that promotes educational and cultural exch
 ange between the city of Caen in Normandy\, France and the City of Alexand
 ria. The committee hosts a lecture series\, coordinates an annual commemor
 ation of D-Day\, organizes and facilitates student and intern exchange pro
 grams\, and offers French classes and storytimes at various locations arou
 nd Alexandria.\nThe Committee is partnering with the Office of Historic Al
 exandria\, a City of Alexandria department whose mission is to enhance the
  quality of life for City residents and visitors by preserving and interpr
 eting Alexandria's historic properties\, archaeological sites\, cultural r
 esources\, artifact collections\, objects\, archives\, records\, and perso
 nal stories\, and by encouraging audiences to appreciate Alexandria's dive
 rse historic heritage and its place within the broader context of American
  history.  \n\n\n\n\nLocation: Gadsby's Tavern Museum\, 134 N. Royal St.\n
