Southern Highland Wineries...

The Southern Highlands is a region becoming increasingly well known as a cool climate wine growing district. Here the grapes ripen slowly producing very elegant and distinctive tasting wines.

We drive down winding country lanes, stopping to sample an array of local food, wines and cheeses. The typically cosy, cellar doors are very relaxing and welcoming with tastings often seated beside an open fire place.
