What a night it was at the Australian Cider Awards — a true celebration of excellent cider, craftsmanship and creativity.
Daylesford Cider proudly took home 3 Gold Medals, 3 Best in Class, 4 Trophies (including Best Australian Cider and Best Cider in Show), plus additional medals.
To mark this incredible achievement, we’ve created a limited-edition Cider Awards Pack featuring some of our very best and newest creations. Each bottle showcases the artistry and dedication of our head cider maker, Jon Mackie, who has spent over a decade perfecting his craft here at Daylesford Cider.
Inside this pack, you’ll find an exclusive mix of award-winning ciders and brand-new releases. These include our Scrumpy and Shiraz Cider — the latter available only in this awards box.
This is your chance to be among the first to taste these exceptional new blends before they officially launch.
The Australian Cider Awards saw over 240 entries judged across multiple categories over two days. To receive any medal is an honour — but to win three Best in Class awards (all scoring Gold) is truly special. These went to our Wild Oak, organic Sweet Coppin, and Shiraz Cider.
The highlight of the evening came when Wild Oak was crowned Best Traditional Cider, Best Australian Cider, and finally, Best Cider in Show.
To top it off, Jon Mackie was awarded Best Small Producer. What a testament to his exceptional skill and vision in shaping Daylesford Cider into one of Australia’s most respected craft cider producers.
This exclusive pack celebrates our breadth and consistency across a wide range of cider styles — from traditional dry ciders to bold modern blends. Each cider is handcrafted with the same level of precision and passion, reflecting its vintage, fruit character, and the season it was made.
Bold, authentic, and award-winning — this is Daylesford Cider at its finest.
