Bago Maze And Wine

Just a 15-minute drive from Port Macquarie, Bago Maze And Wine is a delightful blend of nature, puzzles, and local produce that makes for a perfect half-day outing. Set among rolling hills and vineyards, this family-run attraction offers a giant hedge maze, a cellar door, and a café, all wrapped in a relaxed rural setting. It’s a hit with couples, families, and wine enthusiasts alike, and it fits seamlessly into a self-drive itinerary along the NSW Mid North Coast.

Highlights & What to See

• The Hedge Maze – Navigate a sprawling labyrinth of towering hedges with bridges and lookout points; it’s trickier than it looks and great fun for all ages.
• Cellar Door Tastings – Sample a range of local wines, including the estate’s signature semillon and shiraz, while soaking up vineyard views.
• Bago Maze Café – Stop for wood-fired pizzas, platters, and coffee; the outdoor terrace is perfect for a lazy afternoon.
• Seasonal Events – Check for live music weekends, harvest festivals, and twilight maze experiences in summer.

Suggested Time to Spend

Plan for 2–3 hours to fully enjoy the maze, a tasting, and a meal. If you’re just passing through, an hour is enough for a quick wander and a glass of wine. Combine it with a visit to nearby Bago Vineyards or a stop at the Port Macquarie coast for a full day out.
