With some of the Canberra Region impacted by the Summer 2020 bushfires, it is more important than ever to support and visit our surrounding areas. Most areas have bounced back and are ready to welcome visitors. From the glittering waters and white sand dotting the beaches of the South Coast, to the rural charms of the countryside, and the snow-capped mountains of the Australian Alps, make sure you leave your delegates some time to explore the wider Canberra Region.

COOL CLIMATE WINE REGION The Canberra District Wine Region has been creating distinct Australian wines for 160 years, receiving national regard and becoming among the top choices of connoisseurs around the world. The region is home to 140 vineyards and more than 30 boutique cellar doors, all located within an easy 35-minute drive from the city centre. The range in temperature, vineyard elevations, soil types and winemakers’ skills combine to create outstanding varietals like Shiraz, Riesling, Sangiovese, Pinot Gris, Tempranillo, Malbec and even Grüner Veltliner. Visit Shaw Wines in Murrumbateman, where your VIP delegates can enjoy dining excellence in a private cellar dining room or on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, or head to Clonakilla Wines for an exclusive tasting with worldrenowned winemaker Tim Kirk.
