Pagan Cider

The Southeast


Get fruity at this cider-maker outside of Cygnet that uses eating apples and pears, as well as squeezing out Australia's first natural cherry-apple cider and seasonal ciders, such as blueberry, strawberry and quince. Mop up the tasting with a crepe or galette from the Pandemonium food van parked in the courtyard.
