Gundagai, located in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains in southern New South Wales, is a relatively young but promising wine region known for its balance of altitude, climate, and soil diversity. With vineyards typically situated between 200 and 500 meters above sea level, the region enjoys warm days and cool nights—ideal for producing bold yet elegant red wines, particularly Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines often display ripe fruit characters with good structure and regional distinction.

While still developing its reputation, Gundagai is home to a mix of boutique and family-owned wineries that emphasise quality, innovation, and a strong connection to the land. Its scenic rural landscapes and growing viticultural identity make Gundagai an emerging destination for wine lovers seeking something off the beaten path.
