Swinging Bridge Celebrates 30 Years & Launches Immerse – A New Luxury Wine Experience

In 2025, Swinging Bridge marks three decades of winemaking excellence. When the Ward family first planted vines at their Canowindra property back in 1995, their vision was clear—to produce wines that embody a true sense of place and time. Thirty years later, that commitment to authenticity, coupled with innovation and excellence, continues under the stewardship of winemaker Tom Ward at their Hill Park vineyard in Orange.

“While 30 years may seem young compared to established wine regions around Australia, for an emerging region like Orange, it’s important to acknowledge that we stand as one of its oldest premium producers. That comes with a deep understanding and expertise that we want to share with guests to the region.” – Tom Ward

To celebrate this milestone, Swinging Bridge has introduced a refreshed look for its Cellar Door team, embracing a professional, earthy aesthetic inspired by the lush canopies and rich volcanic soils that define the Orange Wine Region.

Adding to the excitement, Swinging Bridge has unveiled “Immerse”—a luxury wine experience offering an exclusive, behind-the-scenes journey through Orange. Led by owner, winemaker and viticulturalist Tom Ward, the experience includes:

✅ A guided exploration of Orange’s historic landmarks
✅ A visit to the Single Vineyard sites
✅ A 7-course degustation at Hill Park Vineyard & Cellar Door, paired with their finest, rarely available wines

This immersive experience is set to elevate wine tourism in Orange, offering an unforgettable blend of history, craftsmanship, and exceptional flavours.
