Canberra’s wine region is made up of more than 130 vineyards and more than 40 wineries. So of course that means we have an abundance of incredible cool climate wines within our reach.

Drawing on inspiration from the wine region and celebrating the start of truffle season, Capitol Bar & Grill are inviting you to an interactive wine and dining experience hosted by their award-winning Executive Chef, Josh Smith-Thirkell, and Group Wine Director for QT Hotels, Chris Morrison.

Did you know that Canberra’s wine region is home to 140 vineyards and more than 30 cellar doors? A lot of people don’t. In fact, a lot of people don’t know that Canberra even has a wine region. But this is quickly changing and I have a feeling that Canberra’s wine region is going to be very well known in the coming years. Most of the wineries are located within 35 minutes’ drive of Canberra, making it easily accessible for a day out or a weekend away.
