2026 September: KYCider Days Tickets + New Pommeau

Special Events + Double Cherry LTO Drops Tomorrow!

Dear Friends, Family, and Cider Lovers — It has been a while since we’ve sent our newsletter and we’ve missed being in touch! We’ve been busy making cider, pressing grapes at the cidery for the Chambourcin wine we use in our Rosé, and winning awards for cider (two Good Food Awards and couple from the Great American Cider Competition). We took our kids on over 100 miles of hikes in a two week period, got them back to school, got sick, got well and everything else in between! We have a ton coming up — scroll down for more! — and a ton to look back on with gratitude. I wanted to share some early drawings we did when we were first thinking about starting Wise Bird… they’re pretty funny to look back on now. We couldn’t be here without all your love and support, and fondness for the best American beverage on the scene — cider. Thank you for everything and please be in touch! I love hearing from you — ideas, questions, comments, whatever! Peace, love and happiness! Greta & Tim Wright greta@wisebirdcider.com   CIDER CLUB’S Q3 RELEASE DROPS WEDESDAY 9/16!!!

This historic area was once home to one of the most important bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, founded in 1880 by legendary third-generation distiller James E. Pepper. Today, the district has been revitalized into one of Lexington’s most exciting gathering places — but the stories of bourbon, business, and big personalities still live here. Learn more about this hosted tour of the Distiller District or book your ticket HERE. On this tour, we’ll explore the beginnings of bourbon, the drama and rivalries of early distillers, and the often-overlooked stories — including the women who helped build the bourbon industry. Along the way, you’ll enjoy great food, cocktails, and a bourbon tasting while experiencing one of Lexington’s most unique neighborhoods through storytelling. Learn the stories you haven’t heard — and taste the district that helped build Kentucky’s most famous industry.   View email in browser Wise Bird Cider Co. 1170 Manchester St Ste 140 Lexington, KY 40508-6702 USA update your preferences  or  unsubscribe
