With many people coming to visit us in the past six months, we have a little tour trail we like to take first time visitors on to show off the food, wine and sites of the region. Of course, it is adapted based on their interests, but wanted to share our little trail for a day visit.

  1. Lunch at Briars
  2. Visit to historic Berrima – especially to the lolly shop (the lemon and toffee bon bons are to die for …… not together of course!!)
  3. Drop in to Berkelouw’s Book Barn just out of Berrima
  4. Sample some wines at Centennial Vineyard.

That’s just about enough activity for one day!

For people coming for the weekend, depending on what floats their boat, we venture a little further with some great trips:

  1. Drive out along Range Road and Tourist Drive to Illawarra Fly
  2. Visit the famous Robertson Pie Shop while we’re out there!
  3. ….or keep going further to the beach in Kiama
  4. A nice trip to the picturesque Burrawang Village Hotel on a lovely sunny day
  5. Walk up Mt Alexandra to 40 or 60 foot falls
  6. Brunch at Elephant Boy Cafe in Bowral

There are probably plenty of other places in the area we can take them, but we are still learning the area and playing tourists ourselves. Give us another six months!! ;0)
