 Virginia Association of Cider Makers\, this event includes cider tastings

 y too! \n\nWhile enjoying a selection of Virginia ciders\, learn more abo
 ut the growing Virginia cider industry and its connection to Alexandria h
 istory. The Alexandria Cider Festival includes offerings from Albemarle C
 ider Works\, Potter's Craft Cider\, Lost Boy Cider\, and more. This year\
 , for the nation's 250th anniversary\, the VA250 Mobile Museum Experience
  ("Out of Many\, One") will be open on Queen Street during the event. The
  museum features hands-on exhibits\, innovative technology\, and stories 
 focused on everyday people rather than just the Founding Fathers. Food tr
 ucks will be available on Queen Street as well for food purchases.\n\nCid
 er was a popular beverage in 18th- and early 19th-century Alexandria and 
 was offered at area taverns\, including Gadsby's Tavern. Thomas Jefferson
  cultivated eighteen varieties of apples in his orchard at Monticello (pl
 anted between 1769 and 1814). Today\, there are over 30 different apple v
 arieties grown specifically for cider production throughout Virginia. Cid
 er is fermented like wine\, not brewed like beer. One of the most common 
 misconceptions amongst consumers is that hard cider is made in just 'one'
  style rather than the many different styles that are produced. Virginia 
 Cider Week was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 2012 to re
 cognize this growing segment of Virginia's economy.\n\nTickets are $50 pe
