Nothing beats a day out on the Granite Belt, glass in hand, wandering from a crisp white to a bold red, snacking on cheese and cured meats and maybe getting a little giggly among the vines. But if anything’s going to top that, it’s doing it all at Ballandean Estate Wines.
This spot is a Granite Belt icon, run by the Puglisi family since the 1930s. They’ve been turning grapes into gold for generations and you can taste it in every sip. Grab a seat at the cellar door, let the friendly team pour you a line-up of their best and don’t leave without trying their famous Saperavi (trust us on that one).
When you’re ready for a bite, roll into The Barrelroom Wine Lounge for a signature platter loaded with local cheeses, house-made chutneys and fresh bread, all perfectly matched to what’s in your glass.
Before you head off, swing by their Gourmet Food Gallery for a few treats to take home. Because the only thing better than a day out here is finding a bottle (or three) and some local goodies waiting for you later.
