The Canberra District, straddling the border between New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, is a cool-climate wine region known for its refined, expressive wines and innovative winemaking spirit. With vineyards set at elevations between 300 and 800 metres, the region benefits from warm days, cool nights, and a long growing season—ideal for producing elegant Riesling, complex Shiraz, and Pinot Noir, along with emerging varietals like Tempranillo and Viognier.

 

First established in the 1970s, the Canberra District has grown into a vibrant wine destination featuring a mix of boutique, family-run wineries and acclaimed producers. Just a short drive from Canberra city, the region combines high-quality wines with stunning rural landscapes, local food experiences, and a warm, welcoming wine community.
