About this tour
A guided day through the Southern Highlands' wine country, visiting 4–5 producers across 7–8 hours. Start with a welcome glass, then move between established wineries, small family operations, craft breweries, and distilleries, sampling local drops and nibbling a shared tasting platter. The rolling green landscape shifts with seasons—winter fireplaces, spring gardens, summer vineyards in action, autumn foliage—all within 90 minutes of Sydney or Canberra.
Highlights
- Four to five stops: wineries, breweries, gin and whisky distilleries
- Welcome glass and cellar-door tastings included
- Seasonal countryside views: autumn vines, spring tulips, winter fires
- Shared cheese and charcuterie platter
- Country pubs and wood-fired pizza stops available
What to expect
You'll be collected and driven through undulating vineyards and farmland, stopping at each venue for 60–90 minutes. At each stop, taste 3–4 local wines, spirits, or beers whilst grazing from the shared platter. The pace is leisurely—there's time to chat with winemakers or explore cellar doors. Lunch is your call: grab a pub meal, dine at a vineyard restaurant, or order wood-fired pizza on-site. Afternoon sessions often feel more relaxed as you wind toward home. Scenery changes dramatically by season, so expect either cosy fireside tastings or sun-soaked vineyard views depending on when you visit.
Good to know
Arrange your own lunch at one of the stops—factor in 30–45 minutes. Not suitable if pregnant or with serious cardiovascular conditions. Service animals welcome. Public transport links nearby if you need alternatives. Wear comfortable shoes for walking vineyard grounds.
