A large rustic barn surrounded by green pastures and old wooden outbuildings, Willie Smith’s Apple Shed is the home of Willie Smith’s Cider. It’s a place to learn about the apple history of the Huon Valley while enjoying food made in our kitchen from local, seasonal produce.
The shed is a hive of activity year round – see our menu and what’s on below.
Kitchen
Our menu is crafted with produce from local providers, meaning it’s quality, delicious and showcases the best of southern Tasmania. If salmon from the purest water on earth, or cheese made from the happiest sheep you’ve ever seen, sounds like something you’d enjoy, make sure you pay us a visit.
Please call us on (03) 6266 4345 ext. 3 to book
Functions
If you love rustic wooden sheds and you’re after a beautiful event with plenty of cider, then we’re the place for you!
Distillery
We produce an aged apple brandy from our still, in the same style as Calvados. We also produce a lighter apple spirit, Charles Oates Apple Blanco, a delicately flavoured spirit which you can learn more about below.
Apple Museum
Take a tour through the Apple Museum and learn about the rise, fall and recovery of the once infamous ‘Apple Isle’ of Tasmania and the Huon Valley, which was at its heart. The self-guided tour takes around 20 minutes to complete and costs a gold coin donation.
Events
Sundays at the Apple Shed are all about good food, live bands and delicious beverages. Grab a table outside and enjoy the sunshine, or keep warm on those cold winter nights inside the shed while making the most of the second day of the weekend!
