Sunday in the Southern Highlands and the weather turned to sunshine. We spent Family Day @ horizontal festival @ centennial vineyards in Bowral and it was a glorious day out. Good friends, great food, incredible wine. We did many wine tastings, where we caught up with some of our favourites @ sapling yard @ lerida wine @ dawning day wines were all pouring, plus plenty more to discover along the way. Having the producers right there telling their story makes all the difference. Then the distilleries. There were so many to explore, including the brilliant @hold_fast_distillery where we tried all of their spritzes which were fresh and delicious and @esterspirits with a frozen cucumber number. There were so many food trucks to choose from, and we made it our mission to try as much as possible. Let’s not forget all the cheese, honey and cured meats. The surprise highlight was the puppies. Twelve days old. Twelve. Days. Old. Enough said. The entertainment was fun - roving musicians wandered through the crowd, there were acts on the main stage and @jamesbustar juggling and performing had everyone joining in. It was properly interactive, and the kids (and the big kids) loved it. Great wine and spirits for the adults, plenty of fun for the little ones, and a long lazy afternoon for all of us. Thank you @horizontalfestival for a perfect Sunday. #visitsouthernhighlands #southernhighlands #horizontalfestival // This was imported from Instagram from @experience.eats

Adding another Southern Highlands winery to your list… @stmaurwines is one to know if you’re planning a wine outing in The Southern Highlands. Elegant wines, a gorgeous setting and extremely cute winery cats. The standout wine for me was the beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon x Shiraz blend. There is a bottle in my wine cupboard waiting for the next time I have steak… Save this one for your next Southern Highlands wine day. #SouthernHighlands #Winerytrips #AustralianWine #NSWWine #WineDiscovery

The calming and restorative sound of a waterfall, the easing of the noise as the rhythm of your mind aligns with the constant flow of water…sometimes it’s all you need to reset and face what’s next. Need some space? Our waterfalls are the place to go. #fitzroyfalls #gundungurracountry #visitsouthernhighlands #wellness

📍 Peppers Manor House, NSW Tucked away in Sutton Forest, @peppers_manorhouse is the kind of countryside escape that makes you want to slow everything down. The historic country house dates back to 1876, with beautiful old-world details throughout, while still having everything you want from a weekend away — cosy rooms, an outdoor pool, tennis court and hatted dining at Katers Restaurant. Just a short drive from Bowral and Berrima, it’s an easy base for exploring the Southern Highlands — although you may find yourself quite happy staying right here. 🍂 ➡️ Save this one for your next country escape. #countryside #visitsouthernhighlands #visitnsw #explore #foryoupage

Found: A winery I’m already planning a trip back to…🍷 If you’re heading to the Southern Highlands, add @dawningdaywines to your list, immediately. I spent the afternoon tasting an array of Mike and Kat’s wines and, unsurprisingly, left with a box full of bottles of my own. If cool climate wines are your thing (they’re definitely mine) you need to try my three faves for yourself… 🍷 Estate Chardonnay 🍷 Riesling x Gewürztraminer blend aka Kong Foo Sing 🍷 Nebbiolo aka Neb Flanders If the wine names are anything to go by, you know you’re in for a good time 😂 It’s exactly the kind of boutique winery discovery I love… delicious, unpretentious, fun wines, lovely people (along with doggos and alpacas) and a reason to make a day of it. I’d come back for the homemade pickles and cheese alone! Save this one for your next Southern Highlands wine day… you can thank me later. #AustralianWine #SouthernHighlandsWine #VisitSouthernHighlands #SouthernHighlandsNSW

There’s something about seeing nature from above that puts everything into perspective. The power of Fitzroy Falls, the endless bushland of Morton National Park, and the quiet reminder that some of the best places are the ones that slow you down. A little piece of the Southern Highlands from a different angle. 🍃🚁 📍 Fitzroy Falls, Morton National Park, Southern Highlands, NSW #southernhighlands #visitsouthernhighlands #nsw #fitzroyfalls
