Discover Sydney’s New Summer Must-Do: The Gledswood Wine Trail & 2026 Summer Series

As Sydneysiders seek out fresh, meaningful and immersive experiences for the warmer months, Gledswood Homestead & Winery is unveiling a summer program designed to capture attention, inspire leisure travel, and elevate the way we enjoy wine. We’d love to offer your publication an exclusive angle on the launch of the 2026 Gledswood Summer Series, headlined by a brand-new signature experience: the Gledswood Wine Trail.

Just 45 minutes from the CBD, Gledswood blends 180 years of heritage charm with a contemporary paddock-to-picnic style wine experience. This year, the estate transforms into a summer playground of wine, food, live music and interactive tastings that cater to couples, friends, families, lifestyle seekers and content creators alike.

The Gledswood Wine Trail – Sydney’s New Summer Essential

Launching for the first time in 2026, the Gledswood Wine Trail invites guests to wander the estate at their own pace, discovering multiple tasting stations across the gardens, venue pathways and green open spaces. Each station features:
• Curated Gledswood varietals
• Somm-led storytelling and guided tasting moments
• Artisan food pairings
• Picnic spaces, photo spots and live music pockets
• A keepsake tasting passport stamped along the trail
The experience is designed to be relaxed, social, visually immersive and deeply enjoyable — perfect for lifestyle and travel content.
