St Ronans Cider
About the Business
Welcome to St Ronans Cider, located in the picturesque Yarra Valley at Badger Creek, Garnook Grove, 11. Our establishment is a bar, liquor store, and point of interest all rolled into one, offering you a unique experience like no other.
From the moment you lay eyes on our cool label, you'll be drawn to our cider. Whether it's the Yarra Valley roots or the Methode Traditionelle style, there's just something about St Ronans Cider that captivates you. As James Adams from allaboutcider.com puts it, "I had to have it."
Originally a collaboration between Eric Driessen and Troy Jones, St Ronans Cider is now a family-run venture based at Eric's other venue, Badger Creek Blueberry Winery. Since its inception, our cider has received rave reviews across Australia and even garnered attention from publications in the UK, solidifying its place among the best ciders in the world.
Starting from humble beginnings in the Yarra Valley, St Ronans Cider quickly made a name for itself with a gold medal for our Methode Traditionelle Pear Cider in the 2012 and 2013 Australian Cider Awards. Winning the People's Choice award in 2012 further cemented our reputation as serious producers.
Today, you'll find the Driessen family on their small farm just outside the town of Healesville, sourcing fruit from local growers, making cider, and planting their own trees for future harvests. We take pride in using locally sourced fruit to create ciders that are truly unique in Australia.
Our flagship cider, the Methode Traditionelle, is produced using the same method as Champagne, resulting in a drink of exceptional quality and style that we absolutely love. But that's not all - we now offer 50 L draught kegs and bottled (stubbies) of cider, making it even easier for you to enjoy our delicious creations.
At St Ronans Cider, we invite you to experience something special. Come and join us for a glass of our unique and locally sourced cider. Cheers!

Reviews
"The blueberry Moscato definately a hit!. Made it a very easy decision to grab a few bottles."
"We popped in after the Sanctuary. Lovely cider, some of the best I've had, not too sweet, not too carbonated, just right on a 40º day! The staff were excellent too. Will be back, won't be driving ;-)"
"Welcoming and helpful open door. Cider is quality and will refresh and revive. Lots of other goodies for sale as well as some delicious snacks if you can stay longer."
"Visited a few months ago and returned recently. Warm atmosphere, warm seating to taste and relax as many products as possible. All delish. My happy surprise was the dixie cups (frozen berries & quality icecream). 80 year old dad announced that the coffee was just as good as Nescafe 43 - high praise from him! I'm enjoying one of the Apple cider 330mls tonight - perfect with dinner of pork, Apple, baked spud and green salad in front of the fire. Ok, I'll be honest, I'm now enjoying my third. Looking forward to opening bottles of your other wines soon."
"Hidden gem of the Yarra Valley it's a must visit for mine. A pims style drink with their blueberry Moscato, some inventive food pairings with the wine or a cheeky cider champagne breakfast their products are wide ranging, awesome, tasty and a ton of fun! Oh and the current Best Cider in Australia champions. Tip: Give yourself enough time for a cheeky glass after a tasting and ask about shipping if you're from interstate."
