Celebrate Australian Cider Day

Saturday, March 11 is Australian Cider Day and it's set to be a cracker day on the farm, writes Jo Fahey

Come along to help us celebrate Australian Cider in Darkes Cider’s 10th year!

We have put together a gigantic day at the farm. We are celebrating big, yet staying chilled!

It will be a ticketed event, 10am-4pm. Food trucks and coffee will be on site!

Included in your ticket is:

  • apple picking
  • mini golf
  • laser tag
  • lawn games
  • trivia
  • cider juice milling & pressing demonstrations
  • live music by: Sam Allen, Taya Larsen, Joe Mungovan Band

Additional activity fundraiser ‘Add On’:

  • Cider Sensory Classes (18yrs+ activity)

Add on a cider sensory class and funds raised from this activity will go to local charity Need a Feed’s programs. This will be a practical, ‘hands on’ tasting journey to boost your cider sensory skills, guided by a cider maker! Taste a range of cider styles and cider apples. Learn about cider apples and the dynamic flavours that come from them. Experience how they are different!

Onsite parking by gold coin donation with proceeds to Darkes Forest Rural Fire Brigade.
