Blue Mountains Wine-Tasting Stargazing Tour

Overview

Astronomy, wine and a crackling campfire — if that sums up a few of your favourite things, then the folks at Blue Mountains Stargazing might just have curated your ultimate night out. On a regular basis, the company is hosting a fun new variation on its popular stargazing tours, which'll see you sipping vino around the fire pit while learning about — and marvelling at — the twinkling night sky.

Next taking place on Friday, June 4, these sessions will take place among the vines of the Megalong Valley's Dryridge Estate. As the sunset throws its striking colours over the Great Dividing Range, guests will enjoy an expert-led tasting of seven different wines, matched to a ploughman's board loaded with the likes of cheese, pickles and locally-made bread.

After dark, an astrophysicist will guide your group on a two-hour stargazing tour, sharing tips and tricks for getting the most out of a naked-eye astronomy session. You'll also get to peek at those stars through binoculars and a telescope, and pick some astrophysicist brains during a Q&A, before settling in around the campfire for some constellation storytelling.
