Fodor's Expert Review Brindabella Hills Winery

It's worth heading to the cellar door at this winery (weekends only) to taste the Reserve Shiraz, one of the varieties that this family-run operation specializes in. The vineyard is ringed by the lovely Brindabella Range, providing a gorgeous setting on a sunny day for a picnic or barbecue. Light lunches are served on weekends, often accompanied by a jazz band. The vineyard is 25 km (16 miles) north of Canberra.
