The Blue Mountains in New South Wales is not an officially recognized wine region but is part of the South Coast wine zone. It shares a climate similar to the Central Ranges rather than the coast, making it unique for viticulture. With only three producers and two cellar doors, the region offers stunning views and handcrafted cool climate wines.
Its natural beauty, including panoramic canyons and escarpments, attracts tourists, especially hiking enthusiasts keen on trails like the Six Foot Track between Katoomba and Jenolan Caves. Despite lacking official recognition, the Blue Mountains wine region stands out for its location and high-quality wine production, notably at Dryridge Estate.
