Cradoc offers several options to consider when planning a trip: cider tastings at Pagan Cider, cool-climate wine at Panorama Vineyard and tastings by appointment at Sailor Seeks Horse. There is also Cradoc Park, which serves as a playground and a community venue available for hire, as well as a connection to the area’s heritage. The options also differ in how far ahead you should plan.

Cider at Pagan Cider

The Pagan Shed is beside a cherry orchard in the heart of the Huon Valley. At the Pagan Shed, you can sample Pagan Cider’s full range. Tastings of the flagship range include apple, pear and cherry cider; Pagan Cider also offers seasonal small-batch ciders. If you have a particular variety in mind, check the seasonal selection before you arrive.

Options include cider paddles, refills and drinks to take away. Cider paddles finish 20 minutes before closing. As visitor information may change, check the details directly with Pagan Cider before planning your visit.

Guests can enjoy a glass of cider in the sunny courtyard. Food trucks occasionally visit on weekends in summer. As they are not announced every weekend, it is a good idea to check Pagan Cider’s social media channels for dates.

The Pagan Cider cherry shed is family- and dog-friendly. Private, guided tastings of up to 40 minutes are available for larger groups and tour groups. They must be booked in advance, so confirm availability with the provider ahead of time.

All Pagan Cider ciders are gluten-free and vegan. As product information may change, ask the producer directly for current details if needed.

Wine and tastings by appointment

Sailor Seeks Horse offers tastings by appointment in Cradoc. They provide insight into the journey from previous careers in London to hands-on winemaking in Tasmania. Plan this tasting well in advance and arrange your visit ahead of time.

Panorama Vineyard is a small winery in Cradoc that produces cool-climate wines. Confirm details directly with the winery before visiting.

Pagan Cider’s tasting room is also located in a working cherry orchard. This describes a different aspect of cider production from the tasting itself: the agricultural setting in which it takes place.

Playground, venue and heritage

Cradoc Park is a playground and a community venue available for hire. This brings together two different uses in the town: space to play and a venue that can be rented.

Cradoc Cemetery is permanently listed on the Tasmanian Heritage Register. The register extract dated 15 October 2025 records this status. For a heritage-focused stay, the cemetery complements experiences centred on cider, wine and everyday life in the town.
