Hillbilly Cider Shed

Blue Mountains


A good stop while exploring the Bells Line of Road, this cordial ciderhouse has few rules – just show up, taste some of their delicious cider (scrumptious non-alcoholic versions also on hand) and have a chat. Try the Sweet Julie, made using the Julie apple breed, which was created in Hillbilly's orchard from a chance seedling. Pizzas are also available.
