Shoalhaven Brewery & Distillery Trail

Details

Open leg route

104.1KM / 64.7MI (Est. travel time an hour)

The Shoalhaven region is alive with boutique breweries and award-winning distilleries.

The coastal breeze feels just that little bit better with a crafted beverage in hand. From edgy industrial precincts in Nowra to the lush rolling hills of Milton and the rugged coastline of Bawley Point, excellent producers are spread throughout Shoalhaven for connoisseurs of craft beer, fine whiskeys and zesty gins. Meet the maker with workshops and tastings, or just enjoy the casual vibe of the pet- and family-friendly brew pubs.

This trail is within a 2.5- to 3.5-hour drive for both Sydneysiders and Canberrans, and is the perfect escape from the city. Pair your trip with a rejuvenating overnight in nature, sharing the epic surf breaks with the local friendly beach kangaroos and living like a local on the beautiful South Coast.
