The International Quality Cider Fair will be made up of 4 areas:

1. Exhibition area:
This is mainly where the producers from the different countries (cider-presses) will be represented. In this are the visitor will be able to taste and get to know the different products brought by the exhibitors, at standardized stands designed by the organization, so that exhibitors will only need to worry about displaying their products, while the organization carries out all the tasks that do not contribute added value to the company.
