Canberra wineries region: Murrumbateman’s top 13 wineries’ cellar doors, with latest reviews 2023. Merry Heart CBR

The Canberra Region includes ten municipalities: Bega Valley Shire, Eurobodalla Shire, the Goulburn Mulwaree Council area, the Hilltops Council area, the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council area, the Snowy Monaro Regional Council area, the Snowy Valleys Council area, Upper Lachlan Shire, Wingecarribee Shire and the Yass Valley Council area.¹

And so it has a massive land area of 63,319 km²!²

Luckily, Canberrans don’t have to travel far for a quality drop.

Murrumbateman is around 40 mins north from the Canberra CBD, making it a viable Canberra day trip exploring local quality wines. Even better, the Murrumbateman wineries are all located 5-10 mins of each other so less travel and more winding down.

Murrumbateman is home to some of Australia’s finest wineries, where you can taste a wide range of award-winning wines made from locally grown grapes. The cool climate of the region creates a unique terroir, resulting in wines that are elegant, complex, and full of flavor. Whether you prefer red or white, sweet or dry, there’s something for every palate in Canberra’s wineries. Many wineries also offer tours of their vineyards and cellars, providing an opportunity to learn about the winemaking process and the history of the region. So if you’re looking for a fun and educational day out, head to Murrumbateman for some of the best wine tasting experiences in Australia.

“…the number of great wines coming out of the region is disproportionately high when compared with most regions. These folks are really punching above their weight”

Nick Stock, in Gourmet Traveller Wine, April/May 2011

There are around 30 wineries in Murrumbateman, but not all have cellar doors for you to come in and taste some local Canberran wine.

Below, I believe I have compiled all the Murrumbateman wineries with cellar doors.

Murrumbateman wineries – not in any order:

Clonakilla

Image credit: https://www.cellardoorscore.com/uploads/4/7/5/2/47523357/dsc-0027_31.jpg

“It has been a remarkable journey for Clonakilla. When John Kirk planted the first vines in 1971 he had no idea that his vineyard would one day be celebrated as one of the best in the country. Along the way there have been trials and tribulations as well as moments of unprecendented success. Over time something important has become clear: Murrumbateman and Shiraz are one of those rare combinations in the world of wine that can produce something truly exciting.“
Fun fact: Cellar door is made from deconstructed wine barrels and local stone.

					Walked away after waiting half an hour to be served. We were seated for a tasting but then forgotten. We asked twice if we could be served, but ended up leaving after half an hour of nothing. Wouldn’t waste my time here again. Plenty of better choices in the area.

					A favourite Canberra wine and cellar door experience We recently went to Clonakilla cellar door with a group of friends (11 people). 



Clonakilla is one of my favourite Canberra wines and cellar door experiences, and they did not disappoint. 



With a group, we had access to the back room, which is thoughtfully designed for group tastings in mind. A fabulous view of the vines through the window and a large tasting table in the middle. There was enough room for all of us, and the glassware! 



Thanks to Rob (Cellar Door Manager) who helped me organise the tasting, he was helpful and responsive when I emailed and called and did a great tasting on the day.

					Very disappointed in the service at Clonakilla. We arrived without a booking, and were initially turned away saying there are no tables available. My partner and I were a bit confused at first, as there were many free tables. When we pointed this out, we were told we could buy a glass of wine but could not do a tasting.  We then looked at the online booking system, and found that in fact there were tables for booking throughout the whole day for tasting. The staff member, Candice, was incredibly rude when we pointed this out and still would not let us do a tasting.  We then returned later in the afternoon with a new booking, and noticed that this happened to at least another 5 groups of people when there were clearly tables available.  Overall a bad experience. The staff seem to be lacking in work ethic and basic customer service skills. We enjoyed the wine but unfortunately won’t be going back.

Dionysus Winery

“The winemaking approach at Dionysus is simple; attention to detail at every stage of the process is paramount. For the floral white varieties cool fermentation techniques are in favour to emphasise the fruit characters. For the reds the emphasis is on warm fermentation, followed by 12 to 24 months in French oak barriques to soften the tannins and enhance the fruit flavours.”

					We dropped in for the Duck confit and a glass of wine. The duck was quite well made and tasty. The 2 year old Pinot appeared to have been open for a week. I’d describe it as thin and without a hint of fruit. The colour was that of an 8 year old. The $15 per short served glass was an insult. As a local, I won’t be back.

					My wife and I chose to do the cheese and wine tasting at Dionysus.  From the moment you walk in you are greeted with a warm family feel. The wines are beautiful with one of our favourites being the Gamay. It is truly an easy drinking wine with great versatility.  One of the standouts for myself would have to be the homemade chocolates. You can tell that Wendy has put a lot of love into these handmade delicacies. Each one has its uniqueness in flavour and texture.  The blackcurrant chocolate is a must!

					As a yank visiting New South Wales’ wine country, we were most impressed with the wine at Eden Rock.  We visited several wineries.  Eden Rock was head and shoulders above the others.  First, the wine.  We tasted several varietals at Eden Rock—and all were stunningly good.   This is a vintner that knows how to make exceptional wine.  From the bouquet to the mouth-feel to the lingering flavor, each wine was so enjoyable.  There’s a texture present which elevate these wines to another level.  Whatever you do, do not skip the white wines.  The Sauvignon Blanc is the best Sauvignon Blanc I’ve enjoyed.  Sauv Blanc?  Seriously?  Seriously.  It’s that good.  And the reds?  There’s a reason the reds are winning so many awards.  We loved the Sangiovese and were introduced to the Nero d’Avola.  Both were scrumptious.  Finally, the people.  Australians are passionate about their wine.  The service was top shelf and the knowledge the server shared with us was priceless.  Friendly, prompt and attentive are the best way to describe the service.  You’d expect to pay a lot more for wines of this caliber in California (or our home, New Mexico).  Prices are reasonable at Eden Rock.  Eden Rock is the winery that makes you question all of your other five star reviews.  Clearly a favorite of ours.  We look forward to our next visit.

					My wife and I needed to get away for the weekend and decided to do so near the Eden Road winery. My wife is pregnant so I took the responsibility of trying every drop I was allowed. The cellar door manager was an absolute legend, was so helpful and provided hints and tips about each wine that they made. We ended up buying four wines to have as a celebration once the little one arrives. This team made the day bloody brilliant and I cannot wait to abandon my child to do it all over again!!! Thanks for having us.

					One of the best cellar door experiences you’ll ever have. Tim, the Cellar Door Manager, was welcoming, exceptionally knowledgeable, generous with his time, passionate about the region and Eden Road wines. The wines themselves are totally exceptional. Wonderful to have tastings of small batch wines that you don’t typically find in wine stores….and to have such a thorough briefing on the background and history of each wine. Truly fine wines of exceptional quality. Only a short drive from Canberra. Highly recommend a visit.

					After a weary day of travel, I decided to stop at Eden Road Wines and sample their drops. My host – Tim – expertly guided me through the tasting options, regaling me with his anecdotes, industry insights and friendly banter. The wine: superb. I can’t recommend the Sangiovese highly enough. Their focus on Italian varieties is refreshing; and the Nero d’Avola is magnificent. I will definitely be coming back again, Tim!

					I had my second visit to Four WInds recently. On my visit there a couple of years ago the wine was not very good and the staff were more interested in selling you a pizza than showcasing their wines. I vowed to never go back. Their recent win of the Jimmy Watson Trophy made me think I should give them another try. Again the focus seemed to be on the Pizza but there was a definite increase in the wine emphasis and a marginal increase in staff knowledge of the wines. The Jimmy Watson wine is sold out and they have an earlier vintage that you can try. I tried a couple of their wines but they were served at the wrong temperature and at least one appeared to have been cooked. The wine maker who made the winning wine has left the employ of the winery so it will be interesting to see if they can maintain the lightning in a bottle success. I think they let him go because he wasn’t a very good pizza chef. Having said all of that the setting is very pleasant as is the staff. If you’re looking to have a pleasant lunch at a pizza bar that makes their own wine this is for you.

					Had such a great experience at this beautiful and casual vineyard. Wine tasting is done by purchasing wine flights from the bar, which we love as we can go through the tasting at our own pace. We were impressed by most of their wines. Service is also very friendly and attentive. Even if wine isn’t your thing, come here for their absolutely amazing pizzas!

					My husband and I had stopped here for Pizza and trying their wines for lunch. We were lucky they could squeeze us in before someone came in for there reservation at 1pm. The service,  the atmosphere and the quickness of our meal is out standing. We are now talking about the next time we come here with either our family or friends and this time we will make a reservation. We did end up buying 3 of your wines after a delicious meal of Pizza and wine. ( great combination for lunch )  Outstanding all round.  Thank You for a good experience.

					Love this place every time I visit, staff are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The wines they produce just seem to get better and better every year and don’t get me started on the home made pizza’s they dish up. Definitely a ‘must’ winery to stop at whilst in Canberra.

					A heads up for anyone planning on visiting this venue with a group… Due to the small indoor seating area, you will likely be seated in the large outdoor carport which is completely exposed to the elements on all sides making for an uncomfortable experience in anything put perfect weather.  We had a miserable experience and quickly left after full glasses of wine were being literally blow off the table on to guests or smashed on the ground. This happened to 3 different groups while we were there.  I understand that weather is outside of anyone’s control but the operators of this venue should take note as it looks like the same issue has been raised several times in reviews.  Certainly lives up to its name!

					My husband and I really enjoyed the special members flight and canapes tasting menu. Between us we enjoyed both the Shiraz (for him) and Reisling (for me). We had the Shiraz and Reisling tasting combos. I especially enjoyed the Sparkling Reisling, the Smoked Salmon and Blini and the bocconcini and tomato wrapped in prosciutto. A lovely relaxed afternoon.

					I was not going to write this review, but considering it is still forefront in my mind after a few weeks I think it is worth it. My family and I had returned to have a nice day out after previously being at Four Winds for a winery tour, sadly this time we were left with a bad taste in our mouth. Much to our distaste, we witnessed the Russian sounding manager scream her head off at a girl in the kitchen in view of patrons. Very embarrassing for all involved and to watch. I feel that, regardless of what a staff member has done, that is the most abhorrent, dehumanising and downright unprofessional way to handle it. Not to mention that the prices have been hiked significantly since we were there last. They were already steep to begin with, but they definitely do not even remotely reflect the pizza and wine portion sizes anymore. We will not be returning knowing that this business supports that kind of foul treatment of staff. Some management courses or guidance in restorative processes would be my recommendation for that manager. My husband and I, as business owners ourselves, would be appalled if our staff had been treated that way by a line manager.

					The venue is the nicest part. No personal touch, the pizza is bad and tiny for $20, the size of a small dinner plate. The wine is nice but not mind blowing and the service lacks quality considering the price of the venue. The staff work hard but don’t have time to give the tables the attention they need, they are too young to have the wine knowledge required to provide the information expected of a wine venue.  I would recommend they consider opening a cellar door next to the restaurant for those interested in a more curated wine experience.

					We had a good time at this winery. The Kransky was really yummy and all the wines were delicious.  Greg the wine maker explained each wine really well.  We ended up getting the Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc and Pink Ice.  The place is not dog friendly because the a pack of farm dogs and they don’t socialised with other dogs.  We didn’t know that but they let our dog be with us for that day and it was nice of them to do so.

					After driving the long and winding dirt road to the property situated 20 mins from the town centre, we were hoping the effort would be worth our while. Not so. There was a very unwelcoming vibe upon arrival, and we felt as though we had turned up as unwanted visitors. The â€œgreetingâ€ consisted of being told it was â€œpaid tastingsâ€ and were given begrudging customer service, reluctant information about the wines and not a smile at any point. The food menu was equally terrible  offering only a cheese kransky or soup- not what you would want while tasting wine. Having read that there were two open fireplaces, we anticipated an amazing atmosphere but instead it was dark and the mood was negative. Seriously, we couldnâ€™t get out of there fast enough and urge others not to bother either. Quite disgraceful really.

					I went there for wine tasting with a group of 12 for wine tasting. Ken Helm conducted the tasting of 7 wines (4 X Reisling & 3x Cabernet Sauvignon) these are all the wines Helm currently had in stock. They only produce these 2 wine varieties. Ken provided details of the tasted wines including where the grapes came from in the small vineyard. He also provided details of the history of wine in the Canberra region, him being one of the pioneers. He was very informative and interesting. The wines were also very good. My favourites were 1921 Classic Cab Sab & the Classic Half Dry Reisling. This was the best tasting as far as information and enjoyment of our day visiting 6 wineries.

					Very enjoyable wine tasting, we paid $10 and got to 10 wines (4 whites, 4 reds, and 2 dessert wines) which was one of the cheapest and more enjoyable wine tastings Iâ€™ve ever been so was rather surprised. The wines were not too bad and it was indoors since the vines were still growing during the winter period. The guide, Sandro (hope Iâ€™m spelling it right), was very nice and hospitable, answering our many wine-related questions. Recommended vineyard for a visit if youâ€™re in this area and at Canberra

The wine tasting process was a great experience with cheese board. They have premium wines at good prices. We walked away with a box full of beautiful wines. We will definitely be ordering again soon as I can see us drinking these wines quickly – too good to resist. Highly recommend and definitely worth visiting them when in Murrumbateman .Great Collection of New and Old Wines .SB and Muscat is my favorite wine .

					My husband and I visited this winery on Saturday the 30th of April 2022.  As we approached the entrance to the cellar door/shop? We were greeted with barely any acknowledgement from the staff member. Just an FYI for future people interested in tasting wines here. The fee is $10 pp for about 10 wines. The sparkling was drizzled into our cup at body temperature. The next two were just forgettable. Sad and acetony. The same staff member just stated the name of the wine he poured and no more. Not a single description of the wine or where the grapes are from. Just nothing. He just stood there and stared at us drinking. My husband had to cut the tasting short because of how awkward it was having someone just burn their eyes through our souls.  This guy just did not get a hint. He still charged us the full amount which was crazy. My husband returned the next day to speak with the same man to discuss the issues further and was told the machines could not process refunds on tastings??!! And he was given a bottle of wine we didn’t even like instead. The first three were bad so this one will probably be the same. I will get my husband to leave a review too. By the sounds of it, the surrounding wineries know this place won’t last long. So I’m very happy to know that.

					At 11.00am today I ordered 12 Ceteri whites. (Lovely, unique drop that I only hope doesn’t become too popular as there will be less for me!!) Apart from the friendly service, quality wine, and gift of Extra Virgin Oil also made by Long Gully, my dozen bottles were delivered at 1.30pm today by the delightful Matt in exact accordance with instructions for placement if we were not home! Aussie delivery services take note: 2.5 hours for interstate delivery AND in accordance with delivery instructions. I shall now sip on a wine and further consider my good fortune …

					Not as glitzy or well-known as some other local wineries, but this place makes some of my favourite drops including a superb pinot gris and a very good cool climate shiraz.  I have a case of the former and half a case of the latter in my own cellar so I absolutely stand by my recommendation!

					Their wine was exceptional, the owners were super friendly and knowledgeable about their wines which made it more interesting whilst tasting. Cheese board was simple yet flavourful, complementing the wines very well. Of course had to walk with couple of bottles! (But did not feel pressured at all, but personally recommend their riesling and pinot noir!!) $5 for tasting and $10 for cheese  board per person. Dog friendly, they were so accommodating.

					The #1 highlight of our trip to Murrumbateman (out of about 10 wineries!). I could’ve easily bought every wine on the tasting menu. I’ve never been a much of a Rosé drinker, I usually prefer a dark red but the 2023 McKellar Ridge Rosé has converted me! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Murrumbateman region.

					What a great way to spend a few hours. There may be bigger and flashier wineries around but that doesn’t mean they are better. This winery packs a punch for hospitality and you are welcomed warmly from the minute you arrive.  My husband & I spent a wonderful morning here. We did the wine tasting and learnt so much from Marina & John, the owners. Their warm welcome and willingness to share information about the wines and their lives as winemakers, makes you feel part of the journey. For novices like us, is made the experience amazing. We ordered a cheeseboard, relaxed and enjoyed the wine and conversation. We have done a lot of cellar doors in Canberra and can’t recommend McKellar Ridge Wines enough. Thank you Marina and John, we can’t wait to come back!

					My girlfriends and I had such a wonderful experience, could have stayed there all day! Our experience at McKellar Ridge Wines started off with a tour of the cellar, followed by a wine tasting of 6 different types of wines, then a walk through the vineyards and waiting for us under a tree was a cheese platter accompanied with wines of our choosing. Highly recommend McKellar Ridge Wines for your next wine tasting experience, John and Marina were so accommodating and such wonderful hosts, their wines were absolutely delicious, the girls and I came home with a few wines. Would definitely go back again and again!

					Beautiful location. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful wines. We went there for Cellar door / Wine Tastings and were very glad we did. Co-Vid19 adherence which is great. Hosts were very friendly and made you feel welcomed. We tried almost all of their wines and purchased a few whites and reds. Their wines are full of body, depth, and beautiful colour which were great to drink. We even bought one that couldn’t be tasted as they don’t have many left of them based on the tasting at their other reds. Unpretentious, very friendly, and they don’t make you feel like you have to purchase, but then why wouldn’t you when they are so good. Parking is very easy. Highly recommend  McKellar Ridge Winery to all. Thank you for a great experience. We will be back for more and to try your Rieslings.

					This winery is define to stop at. The wines were awesome and had lots of character. The service was second to none and discussion of the wines very informative. Nothing was too much trouble and our bus driver was offered a hot beverage on a cold day. A personalised visit not to be missed and a very different experience, meaning way better, from the larger wineries.

					Raided my cellar earlier this week and have just finished and thoroughly enjoyed a bottle of their 2014 Shiraz Viognier and also a 2014 Riesling, both of which I bought at the cellar door a few years ago. Both were superb and consequently have just signed up to join their wine club.

					Visited this winery last weekend and what a pleasant experience it was.  They certainly love their wines but it was such a relaxing experience.  Need to support these smaller wineries…provided a cheese platter of local cheeses to sample with the wines.  We were sold.  Shiraz / Pinot Noir and Shiraz Viognier were my favourite. There is a $5 tasting charge but is refundable with wine purchase which is reasonable….  unlike Lark Hill up the road who charge $10 tasting and NOT refundable with wine purchase.

					What an amazing place! We were welcomed with such warmth when we walked in and they were super accommodating. My dog loved the experience and he even got to say hello to the two dogs at the winery. Such gentle dogs and so they were a great touch to the place. We ordered a cheese board thing which was lovely and the wines were great with the pricing being only $10 for the tasting board with 4 wines. Honestly would definitely come back here. Would highly recommend!

					A wine & dog lovers dream! Had a wonderful tasting board with a lovely variety coupled with an informative and casual chat about the winery and its history. Enjoyed the puppies while we sat and sipped our wine. Although there wasn’t a lunch service on the day we went, they were extra helpful getting us a reservation up the road. The wine at lunch was ok, but we ended up stopping back to buy a few more bottles and enjoy hearing more about all things wine and dogs! Such a lovely bunch doing some great things with wine and stole our hearts hearing about all the great charitable efforts they are involved in. Highly recommended!!

If youâ€™re planning to visit here at busy time, the serve of wine would be a bit late, but it is absolutely okay to wait for it savoring the taste and having a cheese plater with wine. I could also find my fav wines from here.

Turning into the driveway reveals the impressive building you’ve heard so much about and you have a chuckle at the bike riders pedalling and getting nowhere!

The Vintner’s Daughter

“The wines are made using the traditional methods Stephanie learnt from her father alongside modern methods learnt through her studies. Stephanie pursues an uncompromising approach to quality in her wines with any batches that don’t make the cut distilled into spirit for use in our Fortified Shiraz. The white wines are made without exposure to oxygen and cool‑fermented in stainless steel so as to preserve delicate aromatics and fresh flavours of the fruit, without the distraction of oak.”
Fun fact: Can do a farm tour also!

					We recently took the kids out to do the farm tour. We visited the new baby deer, cows, emus, babydoll sheep, goats, chickens and brand new chicks and met Gretel the turkey who followed us around for lots of pats. The kids had an absolute ball feeding the animals and seeing the farm and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting after. It was a fantastic experience enjoyed by the entire family.

					The wine, the atmosphere, the people. Absolutely perfect, family vibe with the taste to go with it in a beautiful scenic venue. Loved the whole experience, the kids running out with the family dog and the friendly service. This place is 100 percent a must visit. Wine was better than the bigger vineyards by a mile in my belief.

					We spent an afternoon experiencing Yarrhâ€™s Winemakers Tale, which included a tour of the vineyard with Neil, a tour of the winery with Fiona and then a tasting and some delicious food pairings. Delicious wines, perfect pairings and we left feeling much more in the know about different varieties and the process of making wine. Also recommend their membership to keep in the loop with what theyâ€™re producing 🙂

					Highly recommend stopping here. The cellar door is surrounded by the flora and fauna of the Australian bush and the wines are an additional bonus. My favourites were the Mr Natural Pet Natural and Riesling. Both perfect drinks for a summer day and complimented perfectly by their yummy meat and cheese board! Special shout out to Julia who also went above and beyond to return a baby bottle of ours!

					Highly recommend stopping here and going on a tour of the Yarrh vineyard. Owners Neil and Fiona talk you through the entire process from growing to bottling in an interesting and informative way. Throughly enjoyed the cellar door tasting where each wine is perfectly paired to an appetizer.
