Announcement posted by Door Explorer 28 May 2024
Door Explorer proudly announces its expansion to feature all Wine Regions in New South Wales, spotlighting hidden gems and established wine destinations alike. Building on its initial offerings in the Hunter Valley, Mudgee, Orange, and the Canberra District the platform now welcomes the Southern Highlands, Shoalhaven Coast, Riverina, Murray Darling, Hilltops, Tumbarumba, Hastings River, Cowra, and New England onto its platform.
This significant expansion lists over 60 new Cellar Doors on the platform, raising the total to ~300 Cellar Doors across 13 NSW Wine Regions, making Door Explorer the most detailed directory for anyone planning a wine tour or weekend away from Sydney or Canberra.
Regions renowned for their tourism appeal, like the Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven Coast, alongside prolific wine-producing but less toured areas such as the Riverina and Murray Darling, are now spotlighted. This move by Door Explorer seeks to increase visibility for local winemakers and offer users a broader spectrum of experiences, advocating for the diverse wine culture NSW has to offer.
In light of the challenges facing regional winemakers and grape growers, with increased supply and reduced demand, particularly from international markets, Door Explorer encourages domestic travellers to support these local small businesses through wine tourism. This effort not only aids in inventory management for the growers but also promotes the discovery of NSW's diverse wine offerings.
"Our regional grape growers and winemakers are doing it tough. We're not the first to say it, but we want to join the chorus of people championing wine tourism to these lesser-travelled regions. We hope this expansion of Door Explorers coverage will make planning trips, and finding great regional Cellar Doors easier"
George Campbell, Co-founder
