Cellar Door Tasting for Kids and anyone else!

If you're travelling with kids a cellar door visit can test their patience. Give yourself a break on your Orange wine tour and let the kids enjoy a non-alcoholic cider tasting with us. As you taste a range of our alcoholic ciders, they will have their own tastings. Usually that's a cloudy apple juice and each of our Apple and Cherry and Apple and Pear non alcoholic ciders. Just make sure they're included in the booking.  Non-alcoholic tastings are of course a great option for designated drivers and non-drinkers too.

Have fun with Disc Golf at our Teen-Friendly cellar door. 

A cellar-door experience your teens won't hate you for? We now have two practice disc golf baskets by the orchard at our cellar door. BYO discs or borrow some from us; it's a fun activity to occupy your older kids while you relax and enjoy the tasting. They can take a couple of non-alcoholic ciders with them and you may not see them again until
you've finished your tasting. We have a couple of disc sets to borrow and usually have some sets for sale.

Buying cider from our Cellar Door

Know our ciders well and just want to buy something? Just drop in to the Cellar Door during our opening hours (see below). We'll serve you as soon as we can between tastings.

Light Lunches and Food Trucks at our Cellar Door

Don't let a bit of hunger stop your winery tour! There aren't many lunch options once you leave Orange and get out to the winery area of Borenore / Nashdale. Luckily we offer a number of light lunch options you can enjoy with your cider tasting. For hot food we offer Pulled Pork and Cyder Pies or Vegetarian Spinach and Feta Rolls. For something a little more shareable get a cheese plate with a hunk of mature cheese,
organic fig preserve and crackers. We generally have Vegan options available too. Give us a call to check.

Check our Events page for our regular Sunday food truck visits. Great food and cider on our lovely terrace.

We are a small business working with local products so items are subject to availability. Booking your food with your tasting helps us plan and we should be able to get the food out to you quicker too.

EV charging during your tasting

Our cellar door now features 2 new Electric Vehicle Chargers so you can top up you EV battery while you are at the Cellar Door and then continue on your Orange wine tour or visit one of the local attractions like the Borenore Caves without stressing about your battery.
