The Brisbane wineries and wine regions are amazing places to visit, each having their own unique qualities and features; you’ll find it difficult to decide which area to visit first.
With varying distances from Brisbane, some regions are great for day trips, while some are perfect holiday spots or getaways. No matter where you go on your Brisbane wine tours, you’ll find stunning surroundings, beautiful weather and fantastic wines and food waiting for you.
Guzzling on the Granite Belt.
This Brisbane wine tours region has only been producing wine commercially since 1980. It’s still a new and developing area, but is becoming diverse and alternative. The climate here is cooler than the average Queensland temperatures.
There are all types of accommodation to choose from, catering to all budgets and requirements. While you’re there, make sure you check out their stellar local produce, art galleries, Queensland wineries, markets and mazes, plus if you’re there at the right time you may be able to catch an Opera In The Vineyard or attend a Music Night.
Hankering for the Hinterland
Located only an hour from Brisbane, the Gold Coast Hinterland is great for 1 day Brisbane wine tours or a getaway. There is a full range of accommodation options here, including being able to camp amid the rainforest. The Hinterland is known for their incredible rainforests and national parks, as well as their wines of course. There are all sorts of adventurous activities and things to try. Tree top walks, hot air ballooning, Harley tours, 4WDing, tiger moth joy rides, horse riding and hand gliding are some of the more daring on offer. The Hinterland is definitely a tropical getaway, with some absolutely amazing surroundings. A must for anyone looking to visit Queensland wineries and regions.
Slurping in South Burnett
Another fairly new wine region, South Burnett is 200kms from Brisbane and is home to Queensland’s biggest vineyards. Known mainly for their Verdelho and Verdelho blends with distinctive tropical flavours, South Burnett always has something entertaining going on, ranging from rodeos to peanut festivals, so make sure you check out what’s happening around these Brisbane wineries when booking.
Views from the Scenic Rim
This Brisbane wineries region is made up mostly of mountain and country scenery, with country pubs, art, bushwalking and, of course, wineries. When you’re not sipping on a squashed grape though, there are plenty of things to build up your thirst. There’s a whole range of adventures, from relaxing to romantic to just plain adventurous. Spa treatments, local shopping, art and wine tasting with your loved one, flying, hand gliding, hot air ballooning, helicopter rides, skydiving, paragliding and abseiling for the thrill seeker, and 4WDs, horse riding, waterskiing, kayaking, fishing and boating for the more relaxed adventurer.
The Scenic Rim also host and participate in a wide range of local events and activities, so keep an eye out for those. The most incredible part of the Scenic Rim, is that which gives it its name. According to the historians, the ‘Rim’ was formed 26 million years ago, and took 3 million years to form, so there’s something to debate over a glass of red at one of these lovely Queensland wineries.
These are the main options when selecting your Brisbane wine tours. Queensland wineries and their regions definitely have a spot fitting for every personality. Also, the annual Brisbane Wine Festival is great to be a part of, so if you’re into festivities and visiting Brisbane wineries, keep that in mind when you’re booking.
