Awesome experience here😊 Our family had an amazing time👏
The staff and the environment were warm and welcoming. There were kids area and space for them to run around. ( While we can enjoy our drink😌) The cider, the local beer and the cocktails were fantastic. Meals were good with reasonable price as well.
Highly recommend this fabulously place for a great day out.

We had our youngest daughter’s wedding here on Saturday, and I could not fault anything. The food was magnificent, the venue was such a magical setup. Liv coordinated the entire day for us. She was phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble and she made my daughter and son I law have the most relaxed experience. If there was more than 5 stars I would give more.

What an awesome little gem! Enjoyed lunch and a few drinks on New Year's Day. Great place, really friendly service. Tried the cider tasting padel, and a couple.of the cocktails. They were brilliant!
Food was excellent and fast. Great prices for everything.
Highly recommend this place. We'll be going back again for sure!

We got married at DV Cider House.

It was an amazing venue for our wedding. Kudos to Jenny who worked through the process with us and was absolutely incredible. She helped so much with organising our special day.

The food, drinks, and venue were also great. All our guests loved it and have told us they had the time of their lives. Food portions were huge and there was plenty to go around.

There were a couple of things however, that we wish we knew beforehand. These wouldn't have changed our decision to get married at DV Cidery, but would've maybe changed how we ran things:
- Power to the ceremony in the orchard. We were expected to either pay $100 or work out our own way to get power into the orchard where the standard ceremony area is. DV Cider provide a portable mic and speaker but good to keep in mind if you want your own speakers etc.
- The neighbours don't like loud music. Our reception was planned to run until 10.30 pm. We only found out a week from the wedding that music with a heavy bass would not be allowed. Our reception dance floor was cut about 20 mins short because the neighbours complained. Would've probably brought everything forward half an hour to get the time we paid for.

Nonetheless, everything else was done perfectly and we wouldnt recommend anyone other than DV Cider House and in particular Jenny to help make your day as special as ours was. Thanks so much!

A beautiful, cozy and picturesque location.
Set down in the foothills of Mount Macedon, the cider house boasts a wonderful orchard, outdoor bar and cellar door.
Marc and Jenny, along with their staff and family were attentive hosts recently for their Mother's Say high tea event. We enjoyed lots of local treats including cheese and meats through to petite desserts on the day. Our children were treated as family and the hosts as always were generous and more than happy to share their love of their craft. Marc will happily talk you through food pairing and his experience as a chef shines though. The cider they produce is such high quality and comes in a number of styles ranging from traditional to adventurous so it's hard to choose any favourites.

This little country cider place is an easy drive out of Melbourne and well worth it - you would never know the city is just on the other side of that little hill.

It's a family business and they just do a wonderful job - lovely team.

Small food section changing every few months and never had a bad meal and a very reasonable price.

Drink wise, a number of thier own ciders along with local beers and any whiskey/ whisky you can think of.
You can enjoy the outside or inside both are just awesome for the day you drop in.

Loved it, very laid back, great setting, even games and stuff to keep the kids occupied.
Loved the whisky bar at the end of the evening and the staff are friendly and easy going.

Will be back many times and will spread the word 👍

Went back to DV Cider on a Saturday afternoon. There was a singer with a guitar, playing awesome music.

The cider and beers were flowing and it was a great way to spend a lazy afternoon.

The bar has been updated. There's a pool table, lounges inside and plenty of space to relax.

Cheers.

Awesome people so personable. I've tried all or their ciders, and they are unique and bloody delicious.

The owners showed me around the farm, and now understand that the apples they grow are rare heirloom English and French apples.

The cellar door is great, you can taste a few ciders and the hospitality areas are set to expand with an outdoor bar, and a new cellar door.

Happy days. This farm is a very essy drive, less than an hour from Melbourne so its a great afternoon drive.

The ciders are excellent, really good quality and this place is a must visit.
