For fabulous food, your favourite beer and ciders on tap, and aromatic, fair-trade coffee, all served in an innovative and unpretentious space, head to The Flying Brick Cider Company located on the stunning Bellarine Peninsula. The Estate and Cider House are located just a short drive from Geelong, or an hour a half drive from Melbourne along the jagged coastal terrain. Take in sights of the cityscape behind you, rolling open hills in front, and shimmering ocean beside you.
The Flying Brick Cider Company is part of the five-star winery, Leura Park Estate, with all ciders brewed onsite. Leura Park Estate spans across 150-acres of beautifully manicured vineyards and gardens, with acres dedicated to growing crispy, crunchy apples and fresh, succulent pears to brew the ciders. Ciders are brewed at Flying Brick with minimal interference, using 100% fresh fruit. Free from added sugars, colours, or concentrates, it’s a cider that not only tastes good, but that you can feel good about, too.
The Cider House is a gastropub fitted with rustic timbers and soaring ceilings, accentuated with quirky artwork and bright chairs. Famous for its generous share plates and hearty meals, everyone is sure to enjoy their food, no matter their age. Take a seat at one of the many outdoor tables, situated on the sunny deck and overlooking the vineyards, and indulge in a tasting paddle of icy-cold ciders, or a glass of award-winning Leura Park Estate wine.
For those who love live music, Friday Night Roots is the perfect excuse to enjoy some quality food and drinks with friends and family. Featuring talented local musicians and the occasional international band, the Cider House opens up to allow patrons to spill out onto the lawn to enjoy sun, music, and the sweet summer breeze.
