Small Acres Cyder Cellar Door

Small Acres Cyder is an award-winning cider cellar door on Akhurst Road in Nashdale, a short drive from Orange. It is set up for dogs and families in the outdoor areas, with the orchard as a backdrop, so this is an easy stop if you want cider rather than wine.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the spacious outdoor areas and courtyard, but not in the main tasting room due to hygiene rules. The cellar door provides dog water bowls and even dog beds, and there are covered and shady spots to keep your dog comfortable if the weather turns. Keep dogs on a lead and supervised.

Good to know. The range runs from dry to sweet and still to sparkling ciders, with guided tastings, bottle sales and non-alcoholic options. Two practice disc golf baskets sit by the orchard if you want something to do between tastings. Reviewers rate the variety of ciders and the walk-through of the cider process highly.

Getting there and parking. Find it at 12 Akhurst Road, Nashdale, a short drive from central Orange, with on-site parking. Pet-friendly wine tour operators also service the area if you would rather not drive.

Nearby with the dogs. You are in the thick of Nashdale cellar-door country. Nashdale Lane Wines is close by, and other nearby vineyards welcome dogs on their grounds for a full day out.

Fine weather makes the most of the outdoor setup, and the disc golf is a bonus if your dog copes with a bit of movement around them. Bring a lead and confirm current dog rules on arrival. Good for families and dogs that settle in a courtyard.
