Host Your Own Tasting or Event

Planning a book-club night, a gathering with friends, or a special celebration? Bring the Hardcore experience to you and discover Okanagan craft cider with the person who makes it, without needing to visit a tasting room.

At-Home Educational Tastings

A little learning, good conversation, and something different in your glass. Explore the Hardcore lineup with our owner and cidermaker, hear the stories behind the ciders, and discover how fruit, flavour, and food pairings shape the experience. A relaxed fit for book clubs, dinner parties, and curious cider lovers, with plenty of time for questions.

Make It Your Kind of Gathering

From book clubs and backyard parties to bachelor and bachelorette celebrations, birthdays, adult family get-togethers, and corporate team socials, a guided cider tasting gives everyone something to discover and talk about. Hosting a dinner party? Ask about making cider part of the food-pairing experience.

Private Events & Celebrations

Planning something bigger? Ask about bringing our festival-style tent and draft jockey box setup to your gathering. We’ll discuss the options based on your location, guest count, and event format.

The Experience Is Included

For eligible events that meet an agreed minimum cider purchase, there’s no additional charge for the agreed tasting experience, flight boards, glassware, or equipment setup. You pay for the cider. Available ciders, minimum purchases, group size, location, and the agreed setup are confirmed when planning.
