SUMMARY:5th Annual Cider Makers' Dinner - August 21
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 21\, 6pm  \nBerkshire Cider Project celebrates the release of its estate-grown Hancock Shaker Village cider with its fifth annual dinner\, showcasing their signature sparkling hard cider crafted from local and foraged apples. These gluten-free ciders reflect the region’s rich art\, agriculture\, and community. \nThis year’s event features a new location in the heart of the Village and an exclusive tasting of a wild foraged perry made from a single pear tree on the property. \nDinner will be prepared by Leah Guadagnoli\, farmer and chef behind upstate NY’s Fancy Feast Supper Club. Known for her creative\, locally sourced menus\, Leah has hosted pop-ups at Storm King Art Center\, Lil Deb’s Oasis\, and more—we’re thrilled to welcome her to the Village for this special evening.  See menu below.  \nThe evening begins with a stroll in the gardens\, followed by a multi-course savory dinner featuring cider pairings and remarks by the cider makers.  If you’ve never experienced dry\, sparkling hard cider that has the depth and complexity of wine\, you’re in for a treat. \nBook Tickets \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Berkshire 25 Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Berkshire 25 Celebration\n\nWednesday\, September 17\, 2025\n5:30-7:30\nClick here to get tickets >\n \nA highlight every year at Berkshire Magazine is The Berkshire 25\, published in the Fall issue. That’s when 25 individuals are recognized and honored for their dedication to the community. These very special people work tirelessly and selflessly to make our Berkshires a one-of-a-kind place to live\, to work\, and to visit. They come from all walks of life and all ages—they are backbone of the community. Some you may know; others\, perhaps\, you may not. All are equally important in making the Berkshires an exemplary region of the country. \nThis year marks the 12th anniversary of The Berkshire 25\, which means that 300 individuals have now been recognized for their contributions. On Wednesday\, September 17\, at 5:30 p.m.\, we celebrate this year’s Berkshire 25\, and everyone is invited to join the celebration at Hancock Shaker Village!
