Unique Wine Tasting Experiences in the Heart of the Southern Highlands

Hi, we’re Sean and Kirsten - welcome to the Bowral Cellar Door. Here’s what we offer:

✔️ Outdoor Wine Tastings in the heart of Bowral


✔️
Private Wine Tasting Experiences at your venue

For locals and tourists.

Did you know?

  • The Southern Highlands has around 60 wineries, but only 10 cellar doors are open to the public.

  • Wineries can be 30 minutes or more apart by car – so visiting multiple venues in one day often requires planning (and a designated driver).

  • There is currently no cellar door shuttle bus service in the region.

  • The region is renowned for cool climate wines, especially Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sparkling styles.

  • Many of the wines you taste here are small-batch and hard to find outside the Highlands.

  • Bowral is at the heart of the region – making it the perfect central spot for a wine tasting experience without the long drives.

  • Dogs are welcome at The Mill, Bowral. We have water bowls and treats for your fur baby.

  • Our private tastings bring the cellar door to you – perfect for Airbnbs, corporate groups, and special celebrations.

We have done the hard work for you:

Our curated tasting menu includes:

  • Local sparkling wines

  • Crisp whites

  • Elegant rosés

  • A range of reds - from lighter-bodied to bold and structured

And beyond the glass, we also provide:

  • Maps of the Southern Highlands wine region

  • Insider tips on nearby wineries, breweries, and distilleries

  • Recommendations for things to do and must-visit attractions

  • A guide to the best local dining spots

Helping you plan the perfect day exploring the Southern Highlands.

What’s included:

  • Insights into the Southern Highlands wine region and its history

  • A curated local guidebook with recommendations on dining, shopping, and exploring

  • Friendly wine knowledge from a WSET-trained host and member of Sommeliers Australia
