Canberra Small Group Winery Tour

About this tour

Taste your way through Canberra's wine country in a single day, hitting two working vineyards, a distillery and a chocolate maker. A local guide steers your small group through tastings at each stop, with behind-the-scenes access where available. You'll sit down to a proper lunch paired with local wine, craft beer or cider, all while an air-conditioned minivan handles the driving. Seven hours, three regions' worth of flavour.

What to expect

You'll roll out in a minivan with a handful of others and a guide who knows the region's producers personally. At each stop—vineyard, distillery, chocolatier—expect a tasting led by someone who makes the stuff, not a script reader. Some places offer a peek behind closed doors; others stick to the tasting room. Midway through the day you'll settle down for a single course meal paired with your choice of wine, craft beer or cider. There's live commentary on the drive between stops. Pace yourself on the drinks; you're tasting, not drinking heavily.

Good to know
