The Southern Highlands Vineyards Day Tour is a self-guided GPS audio driving tour through the Southern Highlands wine region of New South Wales, south-west of Sydney. The route covers approximately 29 km and is designed for around 7 hours, allowing generous time at cellar doors and cool-climate vineyard stops across the plateau. It is available in the QuokkaGuide app for AUD $10.99 as a one-off purchase on iOS and Android. GPS narration plays automatically at each vineyard, delivering local wine stories and landscape context as you arrive at each stop. The tour works fully offline after downloading, which is reliable on the Southern Highlands' rural estate roads. It suits wine lovers, couples, and day-trippers from Sydney who want a narrated vineyard experience without a tour group, minibus, or advance booking requirement.
Discover the flavours, landscapes, and warm country character of the Southern Highlands on this carefully curated winery day tour. Designed for comfort, variety, and unforgettable moments, this journey blends elegant estates, boutique family wineries, and the scenic charm of one of New South Wales’ most loved cool-climate regions.
Your day begins at Bendooley Estate, where a relaxed breakfast among rolling hills and heritage buildings sets a gentle, welcoming tone. From there, you continue to PepperGreen Estate, nestled in historic Berrima, for a refined tasting of premium cool-climate wines guided by passionate experts.
The journey then leads to Centennial Vineyards, an iconic Highlands estate known for award-winning wines and sweeping views. Here, structured tastings and exceptional food showcase the terroir at its very best.
Next, you’ll visit Artemis Wines, a family-run winery founded by the Balog brothers—pioneers of Pinot Noir in the Southern Highlands. With biodynamic practices, handcrafted wines, and a relaxed outdoor setting, it offers a soulful, grounded tasting experience that visitors love.
If time permits, the tour concludes with an optional visit to Joadja Estate, Australia’s oldest cool-climate vineyard. Peaceful, rustic, and surrounded by natural bushland, Joadja provides a tranquil final chapter to the day.
Across each stop, you’ll enjoy a rich variety of wines, welcoming hospitality, and the stunning scenery that defines the Southern Highlands. This thoughtfully designed tour balances travel time, tasting experiences, and opportunities to explore, ensuring every guest walks away with lasting memories—and perhaps a few favourite bottles.
Raise your glass to a day of discovery, connection, and the many flavours of the Southern Highlands. Cheers!
