AFFLECK VINEYARD

BARTON ESTATE WINERY

BRINDABELLA HILLS WINERY

Woodgrove Close, via Wallaroo Road, Hall
Hours: Weekends and Public Holidays 10 am – 5 pm

Brindabella Hills Winery is a 25-minute drive from Canberra but a world away from city life. The vineyard was established in 1986 and is situated on a granite ridge high above the Murrumbidgee River. Brindabella Hills produces a variety of award-winning wines including Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Chardonnay, Cabernet and Shiraz.

Their Vineyard Cafe serves lunch at weekends and on public holidays. Bookings essential.

There is nothing that says ‘fancy’ quite like sipping on a Sangiovese, tucking into a Ploughman’s Platter, while sitting on a back deck overlooking the Murrumbidgee River, surrounded by the natural amphitheatre created by The Brindabellas. The Fireside Festival was the perfect way to say goodbye to winter, and indulge with friends at one of the best-hidden secrets in the Brindabella Hills Winery – that’s not in Canberra – but a short car trip down the road to Wallaroo.

It has been a remarkable journey for Clonakilla. When John Kirk planted the first vines in 1971 he had no idea that his vineyard would one day be celebrated as one of the best in the country. Along the way there have been trials and tribulations as well as moments of unprecedented success.

Over time something important has become clear: Murrumbateman and Shiraz are one of those rare combinations in the world of wine that can produce something truly exciting.

“Some argue this is Australia’s greatest red wine, it is certainly one of the greatest Shirazs” The Wall Street Journal

“an icon wine, one of the best in Australia” James Halliday
