Napoleone Brewery and Ciderhouse – NOW OPEN

Media Release

There’s an exciting addition to the Yarra Valley landscape, an innovative approach to an old structure, a breath of life into history.

The Napoleone Brewery & Ciderhouse is a newly opened, creative space where we develop, make and share small, fresh batches of Napoleone cider and beer.

Built from the foundations of a 19th century dairy on the Napoleone family property, the stunning views to the surrounding hills, orchards and vines are matched inside by views through to the working brewery.

The overall feeling is of harmonious and blended contrasts; the warmth and earthiness of brick, weathered timber and rusted steel beams perfectly framing the pristine and shiny stainless steel fermentation tanks within this space.

This is the place to get the full Napoleone story, from the earth where the fruit is grown, to the people who put their heart and soul into making cider (and now also beer) that is brimming full of character.

Cidermaker, Behn Payten, continues to create a wide range of styles both traditional and experimental from the fresh, crisp Apple and Pear Ciders, to the Cloudy Apple, Methode Traditionnelle, and sherry-style Veil-Aged Cider with all of our ciders made onsite from our estate grown fruit.

Tasting paddles, pots and pints are available every day as well as Meet the Maker Saturdays and delicious food pairings and meals from Meletos Café, an exciting new dining space where chef Neil Cunningham brings all of his vast experience together in a locally inspired seasonal menu. Meletos also includes an intimate events space and a soon-to-open 24-room boutique guesthouse.

We welcome all of our friends to our new home; it’s the perfect place to showcase our full range of products to both trade and public.

At under an hour’s drive from Melbourne, and with a constantly evolving range of ciders and beers on tap, Napoleone will quickly become everyone’s favorite out of town local.
