What is Winburndale Wines?
Winburndale Wines is a family-owned boutique vineyard and winery near Glanmire in Central West NSW, about 15 minutes east of Bathurst. It grows its own grapes on sloping hillsides, makes wine on site, and runs a cellar door plus on-property accommodation. If you are planning a visit, the practical detail is the cellar door schedule: Saturday walk-ins from 10.30am to 3.30pm, while Sundays and weekdays are by appointment.
H3 What you can do there
- Taste wine at the cellar door — the site invites visitors for a tasting and a walk through the vines.
- Stay overnight — accommodation is available on the property, which suits people who want a slower visit rather than a quick stop.
- Buy wine online — the site supports online purchasing if you cannot make the trip.
- Walk the vineyard — the setting itself, with its slopes and views, is presented as part of the experience.
H3 The wine style
The vineyard is hand-pruned and handpicked, with chemical and fertiliser use kept to a minimum. Reds are made in open fermenters with hand plunging, which the winery says builds deep colour, rich flavour and soft, fine tannins; whites follow a similarly minimal-intervention approach. The current range spans red and white styles — Cabernet Sauvignon, several Shiraz labels, a Shiraz Cabernet, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and a rosé. Some wines are sold by the case of 6 or 12 bottles rather than as singles, so check the format before you commit.
H3 Who it suits
It is best for wine drinkers who care about provenance and a specific place — cool-climate Central Ranges fruit, estate-grown and estate-made — rather than a large commercial tasting room. Couples or small groups looking for a weekend away will get more out of it than someone wanting a quick, no-booking stop, since most days require an appointment.
Next step: email [email protected] or use the site's contact option to book a tasting time, and confirm whether you want to combine it with an overnight stay. If you are comparing regional options, Winburndale Wines sits alongside other Central West producers such as Orange Wine Region for a broader vineyard itinerary.
How do I book a wine tasting at Winburndale Wines?
Book a tasting by contacting the winery directly. Saturday tastings accept walk-ins from 10.30am to 3.30pm; Sundays and weekdays require an appointment. To arrange a time, email [email protected] or use the contact option on Winburndale Wines.
What to include in your request
- Preferred date and a backup date
- Arrival time and number of people
- Any accessibility needs or whether children will attend
- Whether you also want to ask about staying on the property
Practical planning
The cellar door is at 116 Saint Anthony's Creek Road, Glanmire NSW 2795, about 15 minutes east of Bathurst. If you are coming from Sydney over the Blue Mountains, treat the visit as a day trip or an overnight stay rather than a quick stop. Saturday is the simplest option if your plans are flexible; a weekday or Sunday visit needs confirmation first.
If you want to combine tasting with an overnight stay, ask about accommodation availability in the same email. The property describes vineyard walks, wine at the source and rural views, so an overnight visit suits couples or small groups who want a slower experience rather than a rushed tasting.
For a group, mention the size early. Boutique cellar doors often have limited space and staff, so a large group may need a set time or a different format. Also ask whether food is available or whether you should eat before arriving.
What types of wine does Winburndale Wines produce?
Winburndale Wines produces a small, focused range built around reds and a few whites and rosé, made from handpicked estate fruit in the Central Ranges of NSW.
Current collection (as listed on the site):
- Fontana Cabernet Sauvignon
- Remnant Shiraz
- Pick, Pan and Shovel Shiraz
- Lost & Found Shiraz Cabernet
- Golden Gully Pinot Gris
- Little Wonder Chardonnay
- Rosie's Rosé
What that mix suggests
- Shiraz-led reds: Three of the seven wines are Shiraz or Shiraz-dominant, so Shiraz is clearly the flagship variety. The 2023 Remnant Shiraz is described as aged in French oak for 12–15 months, with pepper, plum and blackberry aromas and a smooth, generous palate.
- Cabernet and blends: The Fontana Cabernet Sauvignon and the Pick, Pan & Shovel Shiraz Cabernet (a 50/50 blend with earthy, lively notes) round out the red side.
- Approachable whites and rosé: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and a rosé give visitors something lighter to taste alongside the reds.
Practical next step If you are planning a tasting, note that Saturday walk-ins are welcome from 10.30am to 3.30pm, while Sundays and weekdays are by appointment. Email [email protected] to arrange a time, or browse and buy online at Winburndale Wines.
Decision criterion Choose Winburndale if you want cool-climate, minimal-intervention Shiraz and red blends from a family-run boutique producer. If your group mostly drinks crisp whites or sparkling, the range is narrower, so check current availability before making the trip.
Can I stay overnight at Winburndale Wines, and what accommodation is available?
Yes. Winburndale Wines offers on-site accommodation at the vineyard, so you can stay overnight on the property rather than treating it as a day trip. The site describes wandering through the vines, tasting wine at the source and taking in the views, with sunsets highlighted as a particular draw.
What to expect from a stay
- The accommodation is part of the working vineyard and winery property near Glanmire, about 15 minutes east of Bathurst in Central West NSW.
- It suits couples or small groups who want a quiet, rural base close to the cellar door rather than a serviced hotel with restaurants and nightlife.
- Because it is a boutique, family-owned operation, availability is likely to be limited and tied to the same people who run the cellar door.
Practical planning
Cellar door hours are the key constraint. Saturday walk-ins are welcome from 10.30am to 3.30pm, while Sundays and weekdays are by appointment only. If you want to taste during your stay, arrange your visit in advance by email rather than arriving and hoping to be fitted in.
For a concrete scenario: a couple driving over the Blue Mountains from Sydney could stay a night, book a Sunday tasting, walk the vines in the late afternoon and drive back the next morning. If you need multiple rooms, room service or a restaurant on site, this is probably not the right fit.
Next step
Email [email protected] with your dates and ask two questions: whether the accommodation is free on those nights, and whether a tasting can be booked for the same visit. If you are building a longer Central West itinerary, Bathurst is the obvious base for supplies and other wineries; see Bathurst Regional Council for local visitor information.
Are Winburndale Wines available for purchase online, and how much do they cost?
Yes, Winburndale Wines sells online, and the site lists starting prices for its current releases. The wines are offered by the case (6 or 12 bottles), so the figures below are entry prices per case rather than per bottle.
H3 Online purchase and listed prices
| Wine | Listed starting price |
|---|---|
| 2023 Remnant Shiraz | from $180.00 |
| 2023 Pick Pan & Shovel Shiraz Cabernet | from $115.00 |
The collection also includes Fontana Cabernet Sauvignon, Lost & Found Shiraz Cabernet, Golden Gully Pinot Gris, Little Wonder Chardonnay and Rosie's Rosé, but the page evidence does not show prices for those.
H3 Practical considerations
- Case-only sales mean your outlay is higher than a single-bottle order, but the effective per-bottle cost drops as you move to a 12-bottle case.
- If you want to try before committing, the cellar door at Glanmire (about 15 minutes east of Bathurst) offers tastings: Saturday walk-ins 10.30am–3.30pm, with Sundays and weekdays by appointment.
- On-site accommodation is available if you'd rather make a weekend of it.
As a next step, decide whether you're buying to cellar or to drink soon. The Remnant Shiraz, aged 12–15 months in French oak with pepper, plum and blackberry notes, suits longer keeping; the 50/50 Shiraz Cabernet is the more approachable, food-friendly option. Check the current wine list on Winburndale Wines for the full range and shipping details, or email [email protected] to arrange a tasting.
What is the best way to get to Winburndale Wines from Sydney or Bathurst?
Drive to Winburndale Wines. It sits at 116 Saint Anthony's Creek Road, Glanmire NSW 2795, about 15 minutes east of Bathurst in the Central Ranges. There is no train or bus service to the property, so a car is the practical option from either city.
From Sydney, expect a drive of roughly three hours via the Great Western Highway over the Blue Mountains, with Bathurst as your last major town for fuel and supplies. From Bathurst, it is a short 15-minute run east towards Glanmire. Country roads near the property can be winding and unlit, so arriving in daylight is easier, especially on a first visit.
Before you set out, confirm your timing. The cellar door welcomes Saturday walk-ins from 10.30am to 3.30pm, while Sundays and weekdays are by appointment only. Email [email protected] to book a time, and mention if you are interested in staying overnight on the property, since accommodation is part of what they offer.
If you would rather make a weekend of it, Bathurst is the natural base: stock up there, then treat the winery as a relaxed half-day trip rather than a quick stop. For a broader look at the region's cellar doors and routes, Visit NSW is a useful planning starting point.
