Evolving, emerging wine regions
EXPLORE
Queensland’s Granite Belt is a premium wine-producing region with a few surprises up its sleeve.
In a state famous for sunshine and beaches, the Granite Belt wine region is a relatively cool-climate area high in the hills. Its landscape is defined by forests, mountains and huge granite boulders; its lifestyle is defined by food and wine.
Only 3 hours from Brisbane, this unexpected cool-climate wine region is home to great interpretations of classics including Chardonnay and Shiraz. But the Granite Belt also has a growing reputation as a key producer of alternative varieties. It’s a pocket of cool in the sunshine state.
Rich in natural beauty and diversity, the South Burnett wine region is on the rise thanks to its lively, food-friendly wines and artisanal food producers.
The Bunya Mountains provide a majestic backdrop to the South Burnett wine region, home to ancient landscapes and a modern wine community. Thriving in fertile soils, vineyards ranging from tiny to vast produce lively, food-friendly wines.
Nestled in the lush hinterland, South Burnett is within driving distance to some of Australia’s most spectacular tourist spots, including the Sunshine Coast and the World Heritage listed Fraser Island.
