Here are three family-friendly Ultimate Winery Experiences that promise fun, education, and relaxation for everyone:
The Swan Valley region has a rich history influenced by its traditional Noongar landowners. At Mandoon Estate, visitors can immerse themselves in this heritage. Listen to Noongar Elder Dale Tilbrook share stories about local Indigenous food, culture, and farming methods. Begin your journey with a glass of sparkling wine (adults only) in the Cellar Door, accompanied by a wine educator's insights into Mandoon Estate's history.
After your bush tucker tasting, why not head to The Llawn, Mandoon Estate's open-air and family-friendly beer garden? Open on weekends and public holidays, it features vast lawns and a shaded deck with picnic tables. Enjoy a full pizza menu, a fully serviced bar, and a variety of treats including soft serve, slushies, and a candy bar. Kids can play in the secure playground, or you can take a leisurely stroll to the jetty along the Swan River. With ample seating and picnic spots, it’s perfect for groups of any size.
Yalumba Estate invites guests to enjoy the beautiful grounds with their Yalumba Estate Picnic. Begin with a private Best of Barossa tasting led by a Wine Ambassador (adults only), then choose a Distinguished Sites wine to enjoy with your picnic. Receive a precinct map to find the perfect spot for the family on the expansive lawns.
The picnic pack includes local cheeses and crackers, cured meats, fresh and dried fruit, sourdough, and quince paste. A Riedel wine glass, a bottle of Yalumba wine, water, and a Yalumba bottle opener are also included. Kids can enjoy the same food with a juice box. There are plenty of spots to relax and even play lawn games for a true family-friendly experience.
Situated atop the foothills of the Brokenback Mountain Ranges, Audrey Wilkinson's Cellar Door offers breathtaking 360-degree views, with plenty of space outside for kids to run around. Start your Wine and Wildlife experience with a premium seated wine tasting (adults only) paired with a local cheese board.
After your tasting, collect your tickets to the Hunter Valley Wildlife Park. A short 15-minute drive brings you to a park where you and the family can see endangered animals like lions, giraffes, meerkats, lemurs, and Australian favourites such as koalas and kangaroos. The tickets are flexible, so you can visit the park on another day if you prefer.
These wineries provide unique experiences that cater to both adults and children, ensuring a memorable outing for the entire family.
