Exploring Shoalhaven Heads

Wine Trail

Discover the many different wineries the area has to offer, including some less well known, all whilst taking in the breathtaking scenery. I have listed wineries as a trail that goes in a loop without having to go too far. But there are more wineries in the Shoalhaven if you have the time such as Roselea at Gerringong, Yarrawa Estate at Kangaroo Valley, Lyrebird Ridge Organic at Bugong, Bawley Vale Estate at Bawley Point and Cuppitts at Ulladulla.
Quality wines at a long established winery with original colonial buildings. Saturday night fine dining a highlight but book well in advance or enjoy the food with views from the Wine Garden.

Leisure Activities

A 5 minute walk to dog heaven. A few stairs down to the sandy riverfront and plans for more boardwalks and cycleways. Note east of the River Boat Ramp is a bird sanctuary so no dogs allowed. Instead also try 200m north of the Surf Life Saving Club along Seven Mile Beach or the Jerry Bailey enclosed dog park (shared space so check hours)

A great place for all ages as it combines the skate park, bike track for the little ones and the brand new pump track. Picnic tables and grassy areas surround. Its also next to the Council swimming pool and on the other side, the enclosed dog park/cricket oval. Also a 5 minute walk to the surf club and beach, another playground and toilets.

Food scene

I have been coming to Berry for a long time and its only a 10 minute drive from the Heads through scenic farmland. Since the Berry bypass the main street is easier to walk around and enjoy the many little shops, food outlets and activities. Berry Markets is the First Sunday of the month and Berry Farmer's Market for fresh produce is every Thursday from 3pm-5pm.
