Bellwether Wines – Glamping and Camping
Highlights
- Savour the rustic charm of spacious bell tents nestled among ancient redgums, providing a tranquil escape.
- Forage from extensive herb and produce gardens, enhancing your culinary experience while connecting with nature.
- Enjoy prepared camp ovens that allow you to relax with a glass of wine as your meal heats over the fire.
- Immerse yourself in history at the 1868 Shearing Shed, where creativity and nostalgia blend seamlessly with fine wines.
Bellwether Wines is not like other campsites, a boutique campground, low density well-spaced sites, little details here will keep you coming back. Just seven kilometres north of the Coonawarra township in Buandig country, camping at a Winery – does it get any better.
Bellwether Wines have four permanent Bell tents built on decks, and seven campsites for people travelling with their own gear.
Extensive herb and produce gardens that their chefs use to make food for guests – you must pre-order. Guests are able to forage themselves too. Bellwether Wines grow a lot of their own food and source from local suppliers. Prepared camp ovens mean you can arrive and enjoy a wine while it heats over the fire.
The winery and cellar door is based in an 1868 Shearing Shed, a beautiful space combining history, humour and creativity. A true sense of nostalgia in a natural setting, with wines made in a sustainable way. A boutique winery with the cellar door and community kitchen in the heart of the winery, a uniquely immersive experience. (book into our ‘Guest only’ tasting – ‘Drinks after work’, add a platter to your tasting or start the day with breakfast delivered to your campsite or come into the winery for Brunch).
