To our awesome Ohana followers we have an exciting announcement to make (maybe sad for some) our Winery is moving...but not too far! After a whirlwind few years of developing our unique hand-crafted ciders, wines, ports & liqueurs we now feel we are ready for our next crazy chapter… which is to open QLD’s only dedicated Cider House (plus winery)!…and what better place do it than the soon to be drinks capital of the world - Bundaberg.
