Winter in Bathurst

Cold weather doesn’t put a freeze on fun in the Bathurst region.

Cooler temperatures see the region come alive with a host of events and activities showcasing the rich history and vibrant culture of Bathurst. 

If snuggling up in front of a roaring fire with a local cool climate vino in hand is your thing, there’s plenty of that on offer too – you’ll find wonderful wineries and distilleries, and cozy accommodation options that suit a romantic or family winter escape to a tee.
