Meet the cider makers behind the flavour

One of the highlights of Odense Cider Festival is the opportunity to meet the producers in person. The festival brings together Danish cider makers and international producers who are keen to share their knowledge of ingredients, fermentation and craftsmanship.

Rather than simply tasting the finished product, you can learn about the stories behind each cider and the choices that shape the flavours in your glass.

This makes the festival appealing whether you are already familiar with the world of cider or looking to explore it for the first time. The producers represent a variety of traditions and approaches, giving visitors the chance to experience remarkable differences in taste across countries and cider styles.

Taste cider from near and far

At Odense Cider Festival, the focus is on exploring the diversity of modern cider. The festival showcases a wide selection of ciders from Denmark, France, England, Ireland and across Scandinavia, offering plenty of opportunities to compare flavours, aromas and styles.

For many visitors, this variety is what makes the experience so rewarding. Some ciders are dry and complex, while others are fresh, fruity or lighter in character. It is an excellent opportunity to discover new favourites and gain a broader understanding of why cider continues to grow in popularity.

Late-summer atmosphere in the heart of Odense

The festival takes place in central Odense, where cider experiences are combined with food and live music. Along the way, you can take a break by the grill, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the relaxed ambience that defines the event.
