Small Acres Cyder
One of our great finds during a recent road trip to Canberra was Small Acres Cyder at Borenore near Orange. This small, family-owned business has won a huge number of awards for their cider, something we learned while we were there.
Surrounded by their own orchards, the tasting room is in a beautiful setting. Only knowing about commercial cider, it was interesting to discover the different types and the history behind each. As well as the usual sparkling apple cider, there was still (non-bubbly) apple cider, pear, and fortified varieties. Non-alcoholic cider in apple, pear and cherry was also available to taste.
The tasting wasn’t rushed, and our host was very helpful and informative. We decided on the Poire pear cider and purchased a carton before continuing on to Orange. The owners also operate an Air-BNB, so you can spend the night surrounded by orchards.
To see what else there is to do in New South Wales, please see some of our other stories.
Oh, I love a cider on a hot day (especially one with a lemon/pear taste). This looks like a good place to stop for a while 😉.
Love cider too. Especially the craft brewed ones
We love cider ( and wine and beer). Although not exactly the same, the Poire Williams from France is just wonderful. Looks like an excellent visit.

Yes, beer, wine and cider certainly go down well on a hot day. Thankyou for reading. Shaun
