So we’re doing this race thing with a twist! Join us the Saturday after Turkey Day with your crew, and enjoy a “challenging”, eating, running, drinking, 1.51 Km race on Blue Toad Hard Cider’s stunning 27 acre farm surrounded by 360* views of the Blue Ridge!
Sunday, November 10th – Blue Toad Bingo
Join us for six free games of bingo for a chance to win free cider and exclusive swag. Seats fill up fast so make sure you get there early for our final round of bingo for 2019. If you purchase a flight during the event you will get a bonus board!
Tuesday, November 12th – Holiday Menu Planning
Entertaining for the holidays should be fun! This class will focus on hospitality that doesn’t overwhelm the host.

Appetizers will be provided to enjoy during the class, and tickets include a cider from our hosts!
