Darraweit Valley Cider House

Cider done different.

The team at Darraweit Valley Cider House are obsessed with creating something different at their cider orchard. So they flipped cider psychology on its head by focussing on the flavour first. They experimented with real ingredients like hops, molasses, and coffee to create something truly unique. Australian cider, handcrafted by us in the Macedon Ranges.

Marc Serafino is the Orchardist and Cider Maker of DV Cider. A former head chef from inner-city Melbourne, Marc and cider got serious way back in 2010. Marc’s intricate perception of flavours led to his distinct cider style. However, he soon found that to make great cider, you need the right cider apples. Being a scarce resource in Australia, he set off to create his own orchard of cider apples. In 2014, DV Cider House was established on a beautiful 42-acre property in the stunning valleys of the Macedon Ranges.

The rural cider-making roller coaster ride has not stopped since and continues to pick up highly talented collaborators along the way. Darraweit Valley Cider House has become the natural evolution of this journey.
