We’re the Henry family, and we’ve been growing cider apples and perry pears and making craft beverages for the last sixteen years on our orchard in the beautiful valley of Harcourt in Central Victoria, Australia. Harcourt has a rich history of fruit growing, and once this valley was teeming with many orchardists like us. Over the years, our numbers have dwindled until only a handful of us are left. We’re passionate about keeping our traditions alive, and making sure that when you visit us, you can see what real life is like on a cider farm. Making ‘cider’ is easy. Making real cider, from real apples? That’s a lot harder, but because we’d rather you drink fruit than chemicals, we’ll do the hard work for you and leave you the easy part of enjoying a great drink. Come and visit us, we’ll be happy to show you around. Cheers, The Henry Family

La Larr Ba Gauwa Park is home to the Harcourt Mountain Bike Trails. There's a ride for every level of experience: its 34km of purpose-built circuits are rated from green to blue to black. Opening to riders on 9 March 2018, its an exciting new way to take in the stunning views and natural granite features in the foothills of Mount Alexander, around the regionally renowned Oak Forest.

I rode tracks 1,2,3 and 4. These ones are the easiest, according to riders that have ridden them all. The tracks were all well designed, with very few steep sections and the downhills flowed well. The only true beginners track was no.1, and even that was intermediate in a couple of places. I would recommend a dual suspension bike, or high end hardtail for riding these tracks. My basic hardtail was pushed to it's limits on a number of occasions.

These guys make fantastic wines in a lovely country-side setting. I really enjoyed my conversation with the winemaker, who was humble, generous, and friendly. A bottle labled "Chortle's Edge" hints at the fine line between laughing and crying that the rigors and risks of wine-making brings you to. It's worth seeking out this winery, which is generally open on weekends, for some tasty bottles to bring home.
