New Members, New Experiences, Unforgettable Journeys.

Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia is committed to continuously evolving and strengthening the collective - strategically selecting new members who complement and enhance our offering. Over the past year, we’ve welcomed:

New Members:
• Taylors Wines is one of Australia's First Families of Wine, and our first member in the Clare Valley. Their new cellar door and premium behind the scenes experiences are perfect for a stop on the way to the Flinders Ranges or as an addition to the Barossa.
• Petaluma in the Adelaide Hills, where guests can pair a horse-ride through the vineyards with their highly regarded regional wines. This experience makes a fun addition to an Adelaide Hills stay at Sequoia or Mt Lofty.
• Mount Pleasant joins as a perfect complement to Audrey Wilkinson in the Hunter Valley. With an impressive wine story, we unlock exclusive access to their renowned winemaker for a guided vineyard and winery tour, followed by a private tasting in their stunning refurbished cellar door.
Sydney Bespoke Tours have an excellent package called Icons of the Hunter Valley that includes both Mount Pleasant and Audrey Wilkinson.
• Ampersand Estates in Pemberton. Set amongst the ancient Karri Trees in South West WA, this is a truly special destination. They combine cool-climate wines with private luxury accommodation, nature, and unforgettable culinary experiences in one extraordinary setting. They are the perfect luxury base to explore Western Australia's South West from.

As well as welcoming new wineries, we continue to collaborate with our members to co-design new immersive experiences - always delivering on our promise to take visitors beyond the cellar door.

Our portfolio is deliberately diverse. We cater to seasoned wine enthusiasts, curious lifestyle travellers and everything in between - ensuring there is a compelling experience regardless of wine knowledge or special interest. Every experience is thoughtfully curated with the premium international traveller in mind - and all aim to leave a lasting impression.
