Willie Smith's Cider Club

What's in the box: Members receive exclusive heritage cider packs from Willie Smith's Tasmanian orchard range, plus 15% off anything else in the shop.

Willie Smith's is a cidery in Tasmania's Huon Valley, with its Apple Shed cellar door on the Huon Highway at Grove. Its Cider Club is less a surprise box and more a membership tied to the brand's own online shop. Members receive exclusive heritage cider packs and get 15% off sitewide. That discount covers the full range: core ciders such as Organic, Bone Dry, Traditional and the lighter Gold, plus a non alcoholic cider, a spiced ginger beer, mixed Tassie Taster packs and spirits including apple brandy. The site also promotes free shipping for members as part of a spring offer. If you already drink Willie Smith's, the appeal is clear. Limited releases like the Kingston Black and the Heritage Blend are the more interesting bottles, and the discount makes buying 16 can cases cheaper. The main page does not say how often packs ship, what membership costs or how to cancel, so check the sign up page before you join. Because everything comes from one producer, you won't get the variety of a multi brand box, so it suits fans more than explorers. For Australian drinkers who like Tasmanian apple cider and want regular access to seasonal releases, it is a solid option.
