Shoalhaven Wine Tour Experience

One of our most popular day tour options must be our Shoalhaven Wine Tour. There’s nothing quite like a day visiting the South Coast region and its magnificent sceneries, while enjoying quality locally produced wines and foods with friends and family.

The tour starts with your group being picked up straight from your door and taken down the picturesque NSW South Coast to the Shoalhaven region.

Along the way, if customers are down for an early start, we can stop off at Sublime Point at Bulli Tops for morning tea and to take in the spectacular views of the coastline. This option has proven quite popular with most groups going on this tour, showing that what customers want is not just a wine tour on its own, but with something a little extra. Why not go for the natural element too!

Here is a list of some of the wineries and other places that you will go on during the Shoalhaven Wine Tour! Please note that this may differ depending on which option you choose. See here for more information on the different options and see which one you prefer:

1. Crooked River Wines– An operating winery set in a valley with amazing views of the mountains and the sea, it is the largest vineyard on the NSW South Coast. Has won multiple awards.
