Swinging Bridge is a family owned winery at the forefront of the new guard in premium, cool-climate winemaking. Situated 900 metres above sea level on south facing, late ripening slopes and ancient volcanic soils, Winemaker and Viticulturist Tom Ward produces a range of award-winning wines that not only reflect our unique provenance, but Tom’s passion for his home region and craft.
Tom’s family have been farming in the district since 1867, with the first Swinging Bridge vines planted on the Ward family property in Canowindra in 1995. The Swinging Bridge name originates from the wooden footbridge over the Belubula River that connects the family property to the town of Canowindra.
From our position on the slopes surrounding Gaanha Bula-Mount Canobolas, visitors are immersed in our rich history and the evolution of the region’s quintessential varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Our dedication to quality in the vineyard and winemaking excellence is reflected through our ongoing success at the Orange Wine Show (Best Exhibitor 2022 & 2023, Best Wine of Show 2023 & 2024) and our 5 Red Star rating with the Halliday Wine Companion.
Open 7 days, you’re invited to taste our range of award-winning wines while enjoying the spectacular views of our Hill Park vineyard. Better yet, indulge in one our boutique experiences; including a vineyard tour, delicious paired canapé tasting or decadent five-course degustation.
