My partner and I had our engagement party at Pagan Cider over the weekend, in their cosy little barn that is available to hire for events.
I would highly recommend it for something intimate and casual in a place that already comes set up ready for photo opportunities. We chose to bring along some basic decorations, but you certainly wouldn’t need to do that because the space is already so lovely and welcoming.
Shout out to Amber in particular, who made the process of booking and coordination so easy that we felt as though we must have been missing something (we weren’t). Amber helped us with suggestions for local musicians and caterers. She was there through the day and seemed to genuinely enjoy her work and the product. Her communication was fantastic. The team were available but unobtrusive.
The cider here is an established Tasmanian brand that is popular for very good reason – something to suit just about every palate from sweet to tart, very sessionable. Makes use of regional fruits that the Huon Valley is known for. Definitely on the more approachable end of the scale (albeit at 8% ABV). Their cellar door operated through the day without interruption to us.
My only suggestion is to make sure you book a driver. We hired Tassie Tours to do bus trips from the city, and this ended up being very much needed and an experience in itself. The day was so fun that the poor guy’s ears were probably ringing for a while after drop-off. As we all know, transport is challenging in the regions, and having that covered allowed us all to make the most of what was on offer at the bar.
Thanks again to the Pagan Team, all credit to you and we will...

Everything about the location, lovely warm atmosphere just added a positive note to the celebration. A big thank you to Amber who made it all happen. All my questions were always answered and Amber did everything to make it work. Also thank you to the whole team and on the night Ryan, Ian, Matt and Jen.
Incredible service. Took all my stress away.
Thanks...
Read moreStopped here at the recommendation from the lady at Home Hill winery. She was right- it is very good cider! We came close to closing time so understandably couldn't dawdle. Enjoyed some cider tasting and got some goodies to take home. The fellow also answered some questions about the growing of the fruit and the fruit plants we could see in our driving around. Very interesting and helpful! If you like cider, especially also apple cider with other fruit flavours, this...
