What to expect

You'll be collected and driven to three or four carefully chosen wineries across the region. At each stop, expect hands-on conversation with the people making the wine—no stuffy sommelier speak. You'll sample their current releases in context, learning how Canberra's elevation and cool nights shape the fruit. Midway through, you'll sit down to casual lunch at one estate, pairing food with wine. The pace is leisurely; there's no rush between stops. By the end of five hours, you'll have visited genuinely small operations most tourists miss.

Good to know

Bring sunscreen and a hat; vineyard settings offer limited shade. If you're pregnant or have specific dietary needs, mention them when booking so lunch can be adjusted. Prams and strollers are welcome. Public transport links exist nearby if you prefer to arrive independently.
