Willie Smiths Apple Shed

Willie Smiths Apple Shed

Willie Smiths is located in the beautiful Huon Valley, only 25 minutes drive from Hobart.  Situated on 115 acres, a once thriving apple-growing region that exported apples all over the globe and earned Tasmania the title of the ‘Apple Isle’.

The farm went organic in 1997, thanks to the innovation of current orchardist, Andrew Smith.  With a new focus on organic farming and the use of the apples in our cider, we hope to bring back the glory of the ‘Apple Isle’ days once more.

A large rustic barn surrounded by green pastures and old wooden outbuildings. Willie Smiths is the home of Willie Smith Cider. With their organic local seasoned produce on offer, it’s a must to try out what’s on the menu.

Suggested Itinerary:

  • To guarantee a table I’d suggest to book a table for lunch as it does get very busy especially over the weekend and throughout summer.
  • Spend the afternoon in the beautiful Huon Valley, after enjoying an organic lunch and a paddle of the ciders head south to experience more of the ‘Apple Isle’ region by going to Frank Cider located in Franklin roughly 7 minutes from Huonville. Afterwards Pagan Cider is located in Cygnet about 15 minutes from Franklin. I’d highly suggest to hire a car if you don’t have access to transport, this way everyone can enjoy a drink.
  • Along the way make some stops to take in the beautiful surrounds.
