• One of the things that come to mind — and the palate — in cooler weather is apple cider, and visitors to Mt. Cuba Center on Nov. 19 can learn more about the tasty drink at A Taste of First State Ciders. Join award-winning cidermaker “Doc” Cheskin for a discussion of the rich history of apples, cider, and hard cider in this region and the art and science of cider-making. Native North American apples were joined by those brought over from Europe early in the development of the original 13 colonies. Delaware produced one of the first apple drinks of Colonial America – cider, which, when fermented, becomes hard cider. Founding Fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin were huge hard cider fans (and makers). Sample a variety of ciders including one made exclusively for Mt. Cuba Center using local ingredients. (Ages 21 and over.) The event runs from noon to. 2 p.m., with a second session from 2:30 to 4:30. The cost is $45. Go here to register.
