Discovery Tasting and Lunch

About this tour

Spend three hours at Rowlee Wines in Orange, New South Wales, tasting small-batch cool-climate wines under Mount Canobolas. A family-run winery with two decades of experience guides you through their cellar and vineyard, explaining how the region's terrain shapes each vintage. You'll taste several award-winning wines and enjoy a paired lunch, gaining genuine insight into what distinguishes their operation from larger regional producers.

• Taste award-winning boutique wines from 20-year-old family vineyard
• Behind-the-scenes tour of Rowlee's cellar and production methods
• Lunch paired with wines, dietary requirements accommodated

What to expect

You'll arrive at the winery and receive a welcome from the licensed guide, who walks you through Rowlee's story and approach to cool-climate viticulture. After a vineyard orientation, you'll move into tastings, sampling several wines whilst learning about their production and the specific qualities Mount Canobolas lends the fruit. Lunch arrives mid-session—locally sourced fare designed to complement the wines you're tasting. Expect conversations rather than lectures; the guide encourages questions and shares practical knowledge about the region's seasons and growing challenges. The pace is unhurried, lasting roughly three hours total.
