Lyrebird Ridge has been growing grapes organically on the Shoalhaven Coast since 1994, nestled on 40 acres of NSW bushland halfway between Kangaroo Valley and Nowra. The estate specialises in Chambourcin — a disease-resistant variety particularly well suited to chemical-free viticulture — alongside Sauvignon Blanc, an Escarpment Blend and a fortified wine called Rosie. Every bottle is made without chemicals or preservatives, and the property runs entirely on solar power with rainwater collection and composting. The cellar door (open Saturday, Sunday and Monday including long weekends) offers tastings with local cheese platters, artisan produce and a small antique shop. Off-grid accommodation is available for those wanting to unplug completely — no internet, no mobile reception. The winery holds the Slow Food Berry2JB "Snail of Approval" accreditation.
