Top-tier enjoyment in Sydney, wine tasting by canoe | Kangaroo Valley is a small valley and town in New South Wales. It's not far by car, near the town of Nowra. Easily searchable on Google Maps. ·As it's a natural valley, it's easy to see a sea of clouds above the valley on winter mornings, with bright sunshine above the clouds. Driving down the winding mountain roads, the view is expansive and the scenery is incredibly beautiful. Don't miss the scenery along the way: tree walls, tree-lined avenues, and rural paths. The countryside is even more sparsely populated; long driveways see hardly any cars passing by, except for us. ·If you want to escape the city's hustle and bustle, this place definitely won't disappoint you. Taste fine wines and local homemade jams at Yarrawa Estate Winery; take the kids kayaking on the Kangaroo River, or experience thrilling adventures with Kangaroo Valley Adventure Company. You can also go horseback riding through rainforests and grasslands. ·Or, like us, you can take a canoe, become a sailor, and paddle to experience the surrounding beauty. Paddle on the lake and listen to the guide explain the local ecosystem, observing various plants and animals as you go. If you want to elevate your experience even further, you can, like us, taste local specialty red wines on the lake, sipping wine while enjoying the scenery, making the cold air of early winter seem to warm up. ·You can also admire the Victorian architectural style of Hampden Bridge, or enjoy the bushland scenery from Mannings Lookout. For those who enjoy hands-on activities, various practical courses are also offered here, including gourmet cooking, gardening, soap making, and high tea. ·Finally, we visited the famous local dam, Tallowa Dam, which supplies drinking water to the Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven. Next to the dam is a picturesque park. You can choose to go boating on the lake, like us, or go fishing and strolling, which is very peaceful and pleasant. ·🔗Tips: Mobile Signal: Signal might be unstable in some areas of Kangaroo Valley and on the way to wineries. Download offline maps or screenshot routes in advance. Cash: Most places accept card payments, but keep a small amount of cash just in case (e.g., town markets, small stalls). Environment: Take all your trash with you to protect the natural environment. Use reusable water bottles. Respect: Abide by winery rules and be polite during wine tasting, especially during busy periods. Buying a bottle of your favorite wine is a way to support and thank the winery. ·📌Key Takeaways: 1.
