Meet Baltic Cider

“Up Over” meets “Down Under” as Baltic cider makers arrive from Northern Europe to celebrate cider together with Australian audiences. The Baltic Cider brand brings together craft ciders produced in Latvia, Estonia, and Finland from 24 cider producers. Made from whole apple juice and shaped by the cool northern climate, these ciders are known for their crisp, fresh character and bright apple flavor. Cool by nature and distinctly different, Baltic ciders offer a tasting experience well worth discovering.
The Baltic Cider team, together with two cider makers — Murbudu from Latvia, and Pirula from Finland — will be pouring ciders and sharing their stories through a series of events in Sydney, Batlow, and Melbourne. This promotional tour aims to connect with both the beverage trade and the wider public.

Ciders on Tour

The ciders featured on the tour will represent a range of styles, with non-alcoholic options also available. A distinctive feature of Baltic cider is the use of natural fruit, juices and herbs to create additional flavour and aromatic complexity. Highlights of the selection include hopped cider, quince cider, and, among others, the Australian Cider Awards 2025 Silver and Gold medal winners. A selection drawn from a total of 20 different ciders will be presented for tasting across the tour’s events.

Baltic Ciders Now Stocked in Australia
