About
Platters
All platters are served with crackers and are designed to be shared between two people.
Our Cheese Platters include a selection of locally produced hard and soft cheeses coupled with relishes made from produce grown on our farm.
The Charcuterie platters include local Salami and cured meats with a side of our most popular cheeses and relishes.
The Vegan Platter excludes the cheese and meats but includes a more generous selection of relishes and condiments.
Platters have limited numbers available per day so bookings are essential to secure a platter.
Tables are not reserved. Booking a Platter does not guarantee seating however the tasting paddles and platters are designed so they can be taken anywhere on the grounds. Choose from undercover seating, shady picnic tables or just spread a rug on the lawn...

About Bago
Bago Maze & Wine is nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by towering Eucalyptus trees, rolling countryside and acres of vines, a short scenic drive off the Pacific Highway, south of Port Macquarie.
Perched on a hill, the cellar door and pergola overlooks the maze and maritime vineyards set amongst sub-tropical bushlands, making it the ideal spot to sit and take in the scenery.
Established as Bago Vineyards in 1985 by Jim and Kay Mobbs who planted the first Chardonnay vines on the alluvial flats of their extensive property in the Hastings River Region on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Over the years the vineyard plantings expanded from a single hectare to over 10. Specialising in rare varieties such as Chambourcin, Norton, Tannat and Savagnin, Bago produces a range of sparkling, varietal and fortified wines that are all grown and produced on-site.
