Suttons Cider Festival 2015

Celebrate Queensland’s Second Annual Cider Festival -23 May 2015

Following trips to France and England to investigate the making of cider, David and Ros Sutton began making cider 14 years ago, the first in Queensland to do so commercially. In 2012 Sutton’s Dry Cider was awarded the Grand Champion Trophy at the inaugural Royal Queensland Food and Wine Show Cider Competition.

The Suttons Cider Festival is a fantastic opportunity to visit the Granite Belt with a group of friends and spend the afternoon and evening in our apple orchard, drinking award winning juice and sparkling apple cider, eating great food, (including our renowned apple pie) and enjoying live music by Blonde Chocolate.
