Shoalhaven Wine Month debuts this November, joining the statewide NSW Wine celebration with a calendar of immersive food and wine experiences just a short drive from Sydney and Canberra.

As NSW’s only coastal wine region, the Shoalhaven Coast is known for award-winning wines shaped by maritime terroir and laid-back South Coast hospitality. Guests are invited to explore the vineyards, meet the people behind the vineyards, and experience the quiet magic of the region through limited-events, golden hour tastings, twilight woodfired pizza nights, and live music among the vines.

Presented by the Shoalhaven Coast Wine Association, participating wineries include Two Figs, Cupitt’s Estate, Silos Estate, Crooked River, Lyrebird Ridge, Cambewarra Estate, Mountain Ridge, Yarrawa and Coolangatta Estate.
