Escape to Ridgemill Estate in Stanthorpe for an intimate, small group evening of stargazing beneath the Granite Belt’s renowned dark skies.

Enjoy a warm welcome, meet your fellow stargazers and soak up the atmosphere before your celestial journey begins. With a maximum of just 15 guests, this experience gives everyone the opportunity to connect with local astronomy guide Bryan Middleton and enjoy a more personal evening beneath the stars.

As darkness falls, Bryan will introduce you to the wonders of the night sky, sharing fascinating insights into what’s visible at that time of year. Using a laser pointer, he’ll guide you through the constellations before inviting you to explore the universe through powerful telescopes. Every viewing is unique, with opportunities to observe star clusters, nebulae and if the stars align, perhaps even a planet or distant galaxy.

Sip a glass of Ridgemill Estate wine and toast marshmallows around the cosy fire. A selection of handcrafted cheese platters are available to purchase when booking.

The experience concludes at approximately 8.00 pm, leaving you with lasting memories, stories to share and a deeper appreciation of the universe above.
