Private function - we had superb weather and food (some cooked on the open wood fired BBQ). Wines in the courtyard of the converted dairy farm overlooking the vegetable plots and farmland of the Southern Highlands. St Maur wines are exceptional. We sampled the Rose, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon all Estate grown.

The Berrima District Museum is an outstanding, award winning, country museum that tells fascinating stories about people, places and objects of the Southern Highlands.
Reviewed By BiteSizeTraveller - Sydney, Australia
Don’t be fooled by the exterior of the building that houses the Berrima District Museum, the museum itself is well worth the money and extremely interesting to visit. My family and I recently visited over Christmas and spent a good hour or so wandering round the museum and reading all the signs of information. There is so much to see and read that you could easily spend half a day here. I was fascinated to read about the history, especially of the WWII German internees That were held prisoner here and admire the collection of items from days gone by. There was also another temporary art exhibition inside with works by Rembrandt which was wonderful to see with digital works and audio to listen to the stories. It is very clean inside and cool during the summer which was a welcome relief to the heat outside. I would definitely visit again when I’m next in the area.

Named after the Greek Goddess Artemis, the winery represents the elements of Artemis’ character such as creation and the harvest. Today, it is a family run businesses and the 7th generation winemakers have been in the Southern Highlands since 1996 and have an absolutely stunning vineyard not far from Mittagong, and 1.5 hours drive from the Sydney CBD.. Made using locally produced fruit and the region produces a range of complex cool climate wines. They practise a European wine style and approach to ripeness with focus on the individual flavour ripeness and small batch winemaking. Plenty of whites on offer, but they’re not for their reds and have a popular Pinot Noir. We loved the 2016 ‘CLOSE VINE’ PINOT NOIR at $50 a bottle but bought a cheaper option, the 2018 SAIGNEE (ROSE) which was a nice light wine. We recommend you too, head to the stunning property and find the Artemis cellar door and enjoy a tasting of wine wines, ciders, meads and beer. The wine tasting is $5pp (price removed if you purchase a bottle) to decide your favourite. The do host outdoor events and there’s plenty of food, from platters to wood fires pizzas and you can order wines by the glass or bottle. Whilst it might not be the time of the year to be doing this with the social distancing measures in place, out it in your bucket list. Since we’re all at home at the moment, you can get your favourite wines delivered instead! They’re delivering for free when you order 6+ bottles. 20 % off all wines too

Everything about this winery is great - the friendly staff that make the tasting experience so special, the wines that are very good and hard to choose what to buy and the complimentary cheese plate. Going are the days of free wine tasting. A lot of wineries now are charging to taste their wines but not at Tertini. Great wines that you will want to purchase with an exceptional staff.
