Former Canterbury Bankstown Bulldog Peter Mortimer, his wife Julie and their five sons - Michael, James, Tim, Daniel and Robbie planted Chestnut Garth vineyard in 1996.The original Old March Schoolhouse, located in front of our vineyard, was puchased in 2007 and has worked perfectly for us as our Cellar Door. Open weekends from 11 - 5 pm we do wine tastings, serve hot soup in winter by the open fire, as well as ploughmans platters, coffee and homemade cakes.

Small Acres Cyder are the first and sole producers of locally grown, locally made cider in the Central West, NSW Australia. We produce a range of ciders made with the fresh juice of cider apples and drawing on traditional methods of authentic cider production. The results are for everyone to enjoy with a number of award winning ciders and perrys. The inspiration for Small Acres Cyder came from our founders not being able to find a choice of premium ciders in Australia. Gail Kendell grew up in the UK and used to drink traditional cider made from cider apples, and frustrated with not having a similar choice in Australia, set about making her own. Since then Small Acres Cyder has achieved great success with the simple formula of great quality ciders made with passion from locally grown apples and pears. Leading the Australian craft cider market we have won more than 130 industry awards including Most Successful Small Producer 2017, 2018 and 2019.
