Yarrawa Estate — Attraction in Upper Kangaroo River

We were really looking forward to visiting today. We were there for less than 5 minutes. No hello or anyone to greet us. A word of advice if you’re going to advertise the winery as family friendly you may want to remember that this includes 5 year olds. If you don’t want your dogs to eat the macadamias that you provide to your guests to ’crack’ then either a) don’t provide them or b) secure the dogs away from the winery area. A 5 year old who is trying to crack a nut for the 1st time which rolls onto the ground can hardly be blamed for the action of your dog wolfing it down.

It was a lovely outside tasting under the trees. It would have been better if they had a fire pit but otherwise this was...

A lovely low key cellar door run from the family home. It’s fantastic to be able to experience this part of Kangaroo Valley. Beautiful scenery and so relaxing. Wine tasting was $5 per head which included trying all their wines (we stopped at 7 as I was driving). Cheese board was also $5 per person and was the perfect snack. Great value for money. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy though the owners made us feel very welcome and made sure we always had wine to try. We got lost a couple times (thanks google maps) though follow the signs and you’ll find it. Definitely worth the short trip out of town and the perfect way to spend a...
