In partnership with the Gustavson School of Business, the UVic Alumni Association invites you to join an exclusive tasting event from the comfort of your own home, featuring Vancouver Island’s award-winning Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse!
Sea Cider is a certified organic farm that crafts traditional ciders for enthusiasts across North America. Sea Cider’s founder, farmer and cidermaster Kristen Needham will lead alumni in a guided tasting with insights into regenerative agriculture.
Participants will be tasting two selections, curated especially for you:
- Certified organic Bittersweet Cider (Heirloom Series), multiple best-in-show and people’s-choice winner from rare Canadian organic apple varieties.
- Medal-winning Bramble Bubbly (Canadian Invasion Series), celebrating the sweetness of Vancouver Island’s blackberry fruit at its best.
The tasting will be followed by a livestreamed masterclass with organic food visionaries Ratana and Arran Stephens of Nature’s Path Foods as they receive the School of Business’ 2022 Distinguished Entrepreneur of the Year Award (DEYA).
A favourite of Ratana and Arran Stephens, Sea Cider was a natural choice to pair with the 2022 DEYA livestream interview, and we are excited to bring you this unique opportunity to learn more about both Sea Cider and the Stephens.
