Australian Cider Day

Hundreds of incredible ciders made across the country from 100 per cent Australian-grown fruit will be highlighted on the inaugural Australian Cider Day, in a bid to further boost understanding about product origin in the industry. It’s a day to explore the products and support local Australian farmers and producers.

The new event comes shortly after Cider Australia’s launch of the ‘100 per cent Australian Grown trust mark’, that proves a cider is made locally with Australian grown produce.
