Shoalhaven Wine Coast Where else in the world can you spend the morning at the beach and enjoy a leisurely afternoon at a winery? With cool coastal breezes, fertile soils and a temperate climate, the art of wine production is just in our nature. Almost a dozen cellar doors are scattered along our Shoalhaven wine trail, with unique experiences that showcase much more than wine.

Connect with our thriving viticulture scene on a deeper level. Did you know that in addition to tastings, many of our wineries offer some very cool experiences too? A spot of high tea amongst the vines at Cambewarra Estate is great for a girls’ weekend and birthdays.

Foodies will also love the ‘Regional Tasting Plate’ at Coolangatta Estate, which features wine tasting served alongside olives, oysters and local flavours. The vineyard’s 4WD tractorbus, Bigfoot also takes visitors on a scenic and exhilarating ride.

Take it up a notch and view our coastal vineyards from the air. Silos Estate can arrange a visit by private helicopter, where you land right in the middle of the winery! They also have several electric vehicle charging stations for all the green drivers out there. After sipping on your wine, venture down to meet the cute alpacas that call this property home.

Mountain Ridge Wines are also rolling out EV charging stations, plus the vineyard has musicians playing on Sundays and an on-site art gallery. Bawley Vale Estate hosts Music on the Lawns some Sundays, where the winery is filled with tunes, pizza and great vibes. They’ve also just launched The Grange, a stunning industrial venue and great spot for indoor tastings and events.

Indulge in an entire day at Cupitt’s Winery, Fromagerie, Brewery and Kitchen. The family business has recently been inducted into the NSW Tourism Awards Hall of Fame. Cupitt’s is the perfect place to have a meal or a drink on the deck and watch the sun set over Burrill Lake and green rolling hills. Book a Tour & Taste Experience or Sunset Tour and peruse their bustling Growers Market on the last Saturday of each month.

Adventures on Water Immerse yourself in fun water activities and feel that refreshing glow. Water is a natural healer and the Shoalhaven is an aqua baby’s wonderland. With world class surf beaches, beautiful bays, flowing rivers and serene lakes, discover our unspoilt waterways and the variety of activities that offer endless fun in the sun.

We’re a breeding ground for surfing world champions like Pam Burridge and Tyler Wright and we’re lucky there’s a wave for every surf ability. Beginners can learn to surf with our expert locals at easy spots like Mollymook*, Narrawallee and Seven Mile Beach*. Advanced rippers, venture down to Culburra Beach* or Bawley Point for some epic waves. Any kite surfers out there? Moona Moona Beach and Collingwood Beach are local favourites, especially in winter when the southerly winds pack more of a punch.

View the Shoalhaven from a kayak or canoe, paddling on the water makes you appreciate nature and is sometimes the best way to discover a new place. Kangaroo Valley is a kayaking mecca, with many guided tours and multi-day adventures available through the stunning sunken forest and upper river reaches.

A kayak tour of Jervis Bay with our knowledgeable operators may lead to a wonderful discovery of whales, seals and dolphins. If you’re bringing your own kayak, canoe, boat or any type of watercraft, there

are numerous launch spots scattered along the coastline. Please just make sure to abide by maritime regulations and take extra care around marine animals. Whales and dolphins are curious creatures but it’s important to keep the legal distance so that we can all enjoy these unspoilt waters safely and happily.

Explore Lake Conjola, Lake Tabourie*, Sussex Inlet* or Burrill Lake on a stand up paddleboard and enjoy the serenity of our unspoilt waterways and the abundance of

wildlife that surrounds you. There’s no need for waves on a stand up paddleboarding expedition, which is why it’s excellent for newcomers. Get a lesson to learn all the ropes, even though it’s a relaxing sport, getting all the tips and tricks from a professional will provide you with the best foundation to eventually go out on your own.

Reel in Holiday Memories Dust off the rods and shoot the breeze with some mates. The Shoalhaven’s freshwater lakes, rivers, beaches and open seas offer plenty of opportunities to wet a line and bring home a catch. Try your luck because a bad day out fishing sure beats any other normal day!

The St Georges Basin estuary is ideal for fishing adventures, with calm and sheltered waters and a peaceful setting, well known for flathead and tailor. Settle in at Basin View boat ramp or venture to the canals of Sussex Inlet*, a local hotspot for both lure and bait anglers at the run-in tide. You can hire all the necessary gear (and even a boat) from Sussex Inlet Marine Centre.

Point Perpendicular’s outer torpedo tubes are great for elusive black marlin, which can be caught from the shore. Talk to the Visitor Centre staff at Beecroft Peninsula before heading out, or visit local experts such as Dave from JB Lures in Huskisson to get all your gear. We recommend making the most of your day by booking a guided tour of the bay with Simos Afloat or hiring a vessel with Boab Boats.

Base yourself at Greenwell Point for easy access to the Crookhaven River. This fishing mecca is filled with a variety of species including big mulloway and black bream. The public wharves at Orient Point and the breakwall on Comerong Island are local favourites, remember to get in touch with Marine Rescue if you’re heading out on a big adventure, and chat to local anglers or C-B Tackle in Culburra Beach for advice.

Ulladulla Harbour has been a commercial fishing port since the 1800s and celebrates its Blessing of the Fleet Festival every Easter.

Take it easy and drop in a line at the harbour’s edge to reel in local salmon, tailor and kingfish if you’re lucky. For an exciting experience, nab a large snapper or other deep-sea fish with the experts at Ulladulla Fishing Charters. Lions Park Burrill Lake is a picturesque spot to try for bream, whiting and flathead. If you happen not to snag a catch on the line, treat yourself to our delicious local seafood or fish and chips to keep the clan happy.

Jervis Bay Marine Park ensures the conservation of sea life whilst allowing recreational fishers to enjoy the environment, so just be sure to check park permissions and sanctuary zones before venturing out.

Whale of a Time Go wild about whales along our coastline. We’re so lucky the enormous migratory journey, otherwise known as the Humpback Highway is right on our doorstep. Between May and November each year when you visit the Shoalhaven you can see these captivating creatures from land-based lookouts, eco-cruises or even up-close with a brand-new whale swim experience!

Humpback whale numbers have risen significantly in recent years and we are so fortunate they stop by to say Hi! every year.

With one of the longest migratory voyages of any mammal on earth, the whales retreat to the warm waters of the Pacific in May to August to give birth, returning south with their newborn babies around September to November. The calm waters of Jervis Bay are an ideal halfway point along the route, acting as somewhat of a crèche for mums and their calves to play, rest and learn whale behaviours before returning home.

During the May to November migration period, whales can be spotted right from the coastline at vantage points such as the

stunning, ruined lighthouse at Cape St George in Booderee National Park or Warden Head at Ulladulla. A guided whale watching eco-cruise, however, is the ultimate way to see these magical animals. Jervis Bay Wild and Dolphin Watch take guests out on the water from Huskisson while providing commentary about the region and fun facts about the whales and their calves. They also offer dolphin watching cruises year-round. Further south, Ulladullla Fishing Charters also provide whale watching tours for small groups on demand.

Port Venture of Jervis Bay Wild caters for people with limited mobility, offers wheelchair access, and boom-net adventures in the warmer months.

More about whale watching shoalhaven.com/ whales

There’s also a brand new experience which offers the once in a lifetime chance to swim with the whales. Dive Jervis Bay holds one of only two licences in NSW waters to offer this incredible experience. Whales are super curious animals, sometimes approaching boats and divers to see what they’re up to.

On this four-hour tour, you’ll actually be in the water with them. The best time for this tour is September to November on their migratory journey home.

Welcome to our business location

SHOALHAVEN

Chris Sievers, CEO of Air Affairs relocated from Melbourne to the Shoalhaven in 1984. At the time it was a logical base for a company who provides specialist training services to the Defence Force.

Two years ago, the company, based at the Albatross Aviation Technology Park in Yerriyong, started providing a centralised turnkey service, which has resulted in a staff increase from 30 to 130. ‘’Air Affairs has the largest Learjet 35 fleet in the world and maintain the aircraft totally from top to bottom and don’t rely on any third party for maintenance.’’

“The Shoalhaven has great talent and we want to capture young people so we can grow the company with locals, rather than bringing in people from Sydney or overseas.”

What’s on offer

• Lifestyle benefits all year round • Cost effective Industrial land • Committed and stable workforce • Local business networks • Supportive local Council • Easy access to Sydney and international markets
