Gurneys' Cidery

The Gurnett family left Somerset for South Gippsland in the early 2000s and, finding nothing locally that resembled the dry English ciders they'd grown up with, planted their own orchard outside Foster in 2013. The 70-acre property now holds around 3,000 trees across thirty English, French and wild Gippsland apple varieties — the last grafted from feral seedlings the family tracked down across the district. Cider is made on site and aged in an underground cellar known as The Arches. The cellar door looks out over Corner Inlet to Wilsons Promontory.
