Bago Maze and Winery

Just a 15-minute drive from Port Macquarie, Bago Maze and Winery is a delightful blend of playful challenge and refined tasting. Set on a sprawling countryside estate, this family-run attraction invites you to lose yourself in a giant hedge maze before settling in for a glass of local wine. It’s an ideal stop for families, couples, or solo travellers craving a whimsical afternoon.

Highlights & What to See

• The Giant Hedge Maze – Navigate over 1.5 km of winding paths among towering hedges. Fun for all ages, with lookout platforms to spot your route.
• Wine Tasting – Sample a range of estate-grown wines, from crisp Semillon to rich Cabernet Sauvignon. The knowledgeable staff make it a relaxed, informative experience.
• Farm Animals & Gardens – Meet alpacas, goats, and peacocks roaming the grounds. Kids love the animal nursery and the seasonal flower displays.
• Picnic & Play Areas – Bring your own picnic or grab a grazing board from the café. There’s plenty of space for kids to run, plus a playground.

Suggested Time to Spend

Plan for 1.5 to 2 hours to conquer the maze, enjoy a tasting, and wander the gardens. If you’re with children or want to linger over a glass of wine, allow up to 3 hours. The maze takes about 30–45 minutes to complete, but you can repeat it as many times as you like. Combine with a morning at the nearby Port Macquarie Koala Hospital or a coastal walk for a full day out.
