Brindabella Hills

Perched high above the Murrumbidgee River with sweeping views of the Brindabella mountain ranges, Brindabella Hills Winery offers an unforgettable escape into the heart of Canberra wine country. Established in 1986, our vineyard was among the first in the region — chosen for its exceptional microclimate, echoing the conditions of renowned regions like Tuscany and Rioja. The site offers 12 acres of premium grape varieties planted on a granite ridge, 100 meters above a steep escarpment to the Murrumbidgee River.

In 2017, Michael Anderson purchased Brindabella Hills Winery from its pioneering founders, Roger and Faye Harris, who established the vineyard in 1986. With a clear vision and deep appreciation for the estate’s history, Michael has injected fresh energy and warmth into Brindabella Hills — transforming it into a vibrant and welcoming destination. Under his leadership, the winery has evolved into a place where guests are encouraged to slow down, take in the view, and truly relax while enjoying great wine, food, and country hospitality.

Our cellar door is open every weekend, welcoming guests for seated wine tastings that showcase our signature varietals — including Riesling, Shiraz, Sangiovese, and an expansive range of small-batch estate wines. In 2024, we proudly took home the trophy for Best Canberra District Riesling at the International Riesling Challenge, affirming our place as a leader in cool-climate winemaking. The quality and consistency of Brindabella Hills wines is attested to by our 4½-star rating by James Halliday (2013 Wine Companion).

The restaurant is open Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, offering two- and three-course dining options, alongside relaxed grazing for those wanting something more casual. With a focus on seasonal produce and wine-friendly menus, it’s the perfect place to settle in and soak up the stunning surroundings.

Brindabella Hills is also one of Canberra’s most sought-after wedding and private event venues, known for breathtaking views, tailored hospitality, and a setting that feels both intimate and extraordinary.

Whether you’re here for a weekend tasting, a long lunch, or to say “I do,” we invite you to experience the charm, flavour, and beauty of Brindabella Hills Winery.
