Welcome to
Napoleone Cider
Napoleone Cider Co.
Taste Yarra Valley cider where it’s grown and made. Our apples and pears are handpicked from the family orchard, pressed into fresh juice onsite, and fermented into bright, fruit-forward cider by the Punt Road winemaking team. Behind Meletos sits the new Napoleone Cider Bar — a sun-drenched outdoor space overlooking orchards and vineyards. Drop in for cider or wine by the glass, snacks and picnic baskets, and long, lazy afternoons on the lawn with friends. Walk-ins only, open weekends through the warmer months.
Cider Tastings
At the Punt Road Wines cellar door, our hosts will guide you through a curated tasting paddle featuring Napoleone Apple, Louis Apple, Louis Rosé, and Napoleone Pear. Along the way, you’ll learn about the fruit, flavour and craft behind each cider.
Cider tastings are available seven days a week and can be booked online.
For something more relaxed, the new Napoleone Cider Bar opens on weekends through the warmer months — a sunny outdoor space for cider by the glass, picnic-style food and orchard views.
The Napoleone
Story
The Napoleone family has been farming in the Yarra Valley since 1948, and today, the 3rd and 4th generations continue the tradition. In 1978, the family acquired the property in Coldstream, previously the original St. Hubert's vineyards and winery site.
Today, our farm and cider business remain family owned and fiercely independent. We cultivate wine grapes, apples, and pears with a strong focus on creating a lasting legacy on the land for future generations.
At Napoleone Cider, we honour traditional British and French cider-making techniques while embracing innovation. From experimenting with apple blends to refining fermentation techniques, we craft vibrant, fruit-driven ciders that push boundaries while staying true to the Yarra Valley.
