Swinging Bridge joins Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia
Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia (UWEA) is a curated collection of Australia’s most iconic wineries, inviting visitors to go ‘beyond the cellar door’ with world-class wine, food and behind-the-scenes experiences. Swinging Bridge is proud to stand among these prestigious wineries, reflecting our shared passion for excellence and innovation in Australian wine tourism.
Joining UWEA in 2023 was a natural step in showcasing our commitment to creating exceptional moments for visitors to our Cellar Door. Over the last 18 months, we’ve grown and refined our suite of boutique tasting experiences, ensuring we continue to deliver a lasting impression to every guest to the Orange Wine Region.
Showcasing Our Unique Experiences
Immersive, informative, and of course, indulgent, Indulge with Swinging Bridge is our pinnacle food and wine experience. Enjoy a guided walking tour of our spectacular Hill Park Vineyard with stunning views of Gaanha Bula-Mount Canobolas, followed by a five course degustation lunch at our Cellar Door. Each course is accompanied by a selection of current and Museum release wines thoughtfully curated by our Head Chef and team of WSET trained Sommeliers. You’re guided through each flight, learning the intricacies of cool climate winemaking and our high-altitude terroir that makes Orange unique.
If you’re looking for a lighter option, experience the magic of food and wine pairings with our Savour Experience. Savour includes seven Swinging Bridge wines elegantly paired with a selection of seasonal canapés designed by Swinging Bridge head chef, Dave Wright.
For those seeking a purely wine-focused experience, discover the excellence of Swinging Bridge with Explore. This experience features a guided tour of our Hill Park vineyard, home to our award-winning, single vineyard wines, followed by a bespoke single vineyard tasting flight showcasing our flagship Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Supporting the Orange Wine Region
As proud advocates of the Orange Wine Region, joining UWEA is also an opportunity to highlight what makes our cool climate wine district so special. Working alongside Printhie Wines, a premium Orange sparkling producer, we celebrate the unique high-altitude terroir that makes Orange one of Australia’s most exciting wine destinations, and we’re honoured to represent its vibrant character on a national stage.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your wine journey, you’ll find an experience tailored to your interests, led by our passionate team of sommeliers eager to share their knowledge.
