There’s a glass of chilled wine in one hand, in the other a sweet potato rosti with local trout. The grape vines, sweeping gently down to the river, are brushed a fiery copper by the last rays of a setting autumn sun, overhead a flock of birds takes its last-light flight before settling down in the giant river gums that border the vineyard.

The sunset is nothing short of breathtaking. The award winning Hippo Beach Semillon slides down nicely in the silence and peace of the early evening, and all is well – at least in this small corner of the world. But this is not the Barossa, and it’s not the Hunter Valley. This is Dubbo. Lazy River Estate to be precise.

Those who hold Dubbo synonymous with dust, drought and sweeping pastoral holdings, should think again. No longer the quaint gateway to the outback, this is a city of 40,000 plus people, and with it’s flourishing business and tourism communities has come a sophistication that catches the most blasé of city visitors by pleasant surprise.

“Lazy River Estate’s” owners established their vineyard in 1998 on the banks of the Macquarie River. On the deck of the architecturally designed function centre, cellar door and function centre you look out to a stunning vineyard backdrop with the homestead on the horizon. The owners have established a place of elegance and ambience, where people can relax, unwind and enjoy good local foods and wines – all in a peaceful and picturesque setting.

Although the wines, particularly the Hippo Beach Semillon and Squatters Chair Petit Verdot are excellent, Lazy River is not so much a winery as an experience. Stunning in any season, the Macquarie River provides the perfect backdrop for the vineyard, and for the regular music festivals, weddings and conferences hosted at “Lazy River Estate”.
