The Shoalhaven’s temperate climate and lush soil produces some of the world’s most highly acclaimed drops. With many cellar doors throughout the region, sampling a delicious drop while soaking up stunning vineyard views is a favourite pastime on the South Coast.
Two Figs’ boutique winery offers spectacular panoramic 360 degree views from the beaches of Shoalhaven Heads along the expanse of the Shoalhaven River and beyond. Come and buy a bottle of wine and a gourmet local plate to enjoy the scenery. Plan a visit during monthly ‘Music Sunday’ at Mountain Ridge Wines as great way to spend an afternoon soaking up live tunes, great vibes and delicious wines perched upon a ridge of Coolangatta Mountain, offering up stunning views of the Shoalhaven
Truly unique winery experiences are a specialty of the Shoalhaven. Dine inside an actual silo and meeting resident alpacas which roam freely at Silos Estate; indulge in a whimsical high tea amongst the vines at Cambewarra Estate Winery, or explore a macadamia, walnut, pecan, and Japanese raisin and large citrus grove at Yarrawa Estate Vineyard. Take a step back in time in a restored convict built village at Coolangatta Estate. With over 160 trophies and more than 1900 awards at regional, national and international wine shows, Coolangatta Estate is a must visit during your stay in the Shoalhaven.
Coolangatta Historic Village Estate
Alive with history, the original convict-built village is now surrounded by sprawling vineyards and landscaped grounds. Situated on the foothills of Mt. Coolangatta and located only 2 hours south of Sydney on the popular South Coast of NSW, it is truly the ideal destination to wine, dine and stay.
You are invited to taste our estate-grown wines from the cellar door, stay in our convict-built cottages, take a stroll through our historic grounds or enjoy the views and fresh local produce in our restaurant.
Coolangatta Estate offers you a truly unique experience.
Experience tranquility at Cambewarra Estate
Two Figs Winery
Two Figs is perched on top of one of the foothills of Coolangatta Mountain, its gate near Broughton Creek Bridge. You can sit and watch the most magnificent sunsets here, looking down over the Shoalhaven River and out to the farmlands of Terara and further to Nowra and beyond. You must try their cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, chambourcin and verdelho, all made onsite in their working vineyard.
Mountain Ridge Winery
Mountain Ridge is just on the outskirts of Shoalhaven Heads, so is nice and close to visit for a sneaky wine tasting or a bite to eat. They sit on the base of Coolangatta Mountain, and look out over the farmlands and bush along Coolangatta Road. Every Sunday they feature live music and the atmosphere is relaxed and laid back.
Silos Estate
Experience Crooked River Winery
Crooked River winery sits in an enviable position overlooking the farmlands of Rose Valley and out to the coast over Gerringong. Have some lunch in their restaurant which looks over their impressive vineyard – it is the largest on the South Coast. They make delicious red and white wines, as well as hand crafted beer, lovingly named Uncle Joe’s. Definitely worth a drive to explore this passionate, family-owned winery during your stay at Bangalay.
