Blue Mountains Glowworm Dinner Experience – Wollemi Ridge Retreats
Location: Bilpin, NSWPrice: $150 per personDuration: Approximately 3 hours
Overview
As the sun dips behind the Blue Mountains, join us for a memorable evening of local food, forest stillness, and natural wonder. The Glowworm Dinner Experience at Wollemi Ridge Retreats blends the comfort of a bush-style barbecue feast with the quiet magic of seeing glowworms shimmer in the darkness of a secluded mountain gully.
Evening Itinerary
Arrival & Welcome Begin your evening at Wollemi Ridge Retreats with a refreshing welcome drink — a crisp, locally crafted cider from Bilpin’s beloved cider makers. Take a moment to relax, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and watch the light soften over the ridges.
Bush-Style Barbecue DinnerEnjoy a wholesome dinner prepared on the barbie with hearty flavours, seasonal sides, and good company as twilight settles in. It’s a relaxed and authentic taste of Bilpin’s country hospitality.
Guided Glowworm WalkAs darkness deepens, your guide will lead you on a bushwalk to the gully where glowworms make their home. In the stillness of the night, you’ll notice the subtle glimmer of their bioluminescent light along the damp rock walls — a quiet, almost ethereal sight that captures the simple magic of nature after dark.
Return & ReflectionAfter spending time in the glowworm gully, stroll back under the stars to the retreat whilst keeping your eyes and ears open to spot nocturnal wildlife.
