Located just off the Pacific Highway near Herons Creek in New South Wales, Bago Maze & Vineyards offers a distinctive food and wine experience set against lush sub-tropical bushlands and rolling vineyards. Established in 1985 by Jim and Kay Mobbs, this family-owned vineyard spans over 10 hectares and specializes in rare varietals like Chambourcin, Norton, Tannat, and Savagnin, all nurtured on site. Visitors here can sip on a curated selection of sparkling, varietal, and fortified wines while taking in panoramic views from the cellar door, perched atop a gentle hill overlooking the vineyard and an intricate hedge maze.
The tasting experience at Bago is designed for relaxed enjoyment. Guests choose from tasting paddles featuring four wines selected from a rotating list of about a dozen options. These can be savored anywhere across the grounds, whether beneath the pergola, at shady picnic tables, or sprawled out on the lawn. To complement the wines, shared platters highlight local flavors—impeccably paired cheese, charcuterie, or ample vegan relishes sourced from farm-grown produce. For a twist, indulge in a chocolate and wine pairing offering two chocolates paired with two wines, ideal for those seeking a deeper flavor journey.
