Once you arrive, indulge in a private, seated tasting to savour Bendooley's acclaimed cool-climate wines, followed by a gourmet lunch in an unforgettable vineyard setting.

The Southern Highlands is famous for its cool-climate wines, but it also stands alongside other Australian wine regions like the Hunter Valley, which is known for its scenic beauty and food experiences.

Once you land, you're welcomed at Bendooley Estate's cellar door, where Rieslings and Chardonnays take centre stage among the estate's massive and impressive selection of cool-climate wines and amazing atmosphere. Bendooley's house wines are renowned for their quality, reflecting the unique terroir of the Highlands and providing a taste experience like no other, especially when paired with the estate's fine cheeses.

But this tour is so much more than helicopters and wine, because it's also perfect for foodies. At Bendooley's Book Barn restaurant, you'll sit down to a three-course lunch made from seasonal local ingredients.
