Welcome to Canberra District Wines
Winemaking is the most sensual way to understand a piece of land. Canberra District wines deliver unique qualities derived from an environment like no other in Australia. The tranquil rural countryside around the ACT is home to 140 vineyards with more than 33 wineries with 35 minutes of Canberra. The wineries are small and intimate providing an original interactive visitor experience. The range in temperature, vineyard elevations, soil types and the careful influence of the winemakers skill and individual character help to shape the refined, unique qualities of the final product. Wine with diversity in variety and style found nowhere else. Wine that is Liquid Geography. |
