Cold and rainy afternoons call for mulled cider in the lounge at the Mock Red Hill apple orchard, run by the fifth generation of the Mock family, sisters Mardi-Claire, Demeter and Sheryn. Try the range in an alcoholic or alc-free tasting, and savour Golden Delicious apples grown just past the window in a locally made Johnny Ripe pie, served warm with ice-cream. In summer, grab a rug and enjoy a picnic in the orchard, otherwise cherry picking at Ripe N Ready is a sweet task with instant rewards.
