The Spreyton
Cider Story.
Five generations, one orchard, and a commitment to honest Tasmanian cider made from fruit we grow ourselves.
our story
Long before the cider our family was growing apples. What started as a small family operation in 1908 has grown into a well known Tasmanian brand built on quality fruit, craftsmanship and pride in where we come from.
A family legacy rooted in Tasmanian soil.
The Spreyton story begins long before the cider. Our family has been growing apples in this valley since 1908, shaped by generations who worked the land, adapted through change and kept their connection to the orchard strong.

From orchard growers to juice makers.
In 1998 we created Spreyton Fresh, our fresh juice brand that introduced many Tasmanians to the real taste of orchard fruit. Making juice on site gave us a deeper understanding of our apples and proved that great flavour comes from keeping things close to home.
This step set the foundation for what would come next, linking our heritage as growers with our future as makers.
The beginning of
Spreyton Cider Co.
By 2011 we were ready to take the next leap. Early cider ferments showed real promise, so we committed to producing cider entirely in house to maintain the quality and integrity our family is known for.
A purpose-built cidery and cellar door followed in 2012, along with a dedicated cider maker. This allowed us to control every part of the process from orchard to bottle, ensuring our cider stayed true to the fruit and true to us.
A true tree to
bottle cidery.
