Our vineyard was planted in 1999 and since then we have progressively increased our production to meet demand. We are two ex school teachers who made a tree change to the Granite Belt to grow grapes, make wine and open a cellar door. It’s a hands-on operation as all processes are completed by the two of us on site. We skillfully create regional wines that exhibit strong varietal fruit characters.

This winery is celebrating 20 years in 2019 and it is always worth a visit. You might be welcomed by their winery dog Ralph or by the smiling faces of Sue and Warren - but you will always get a warm welcome. We recently returned with a 2006 bottle of their Bernie’s Blend (named after Warren’s dad) and man it had aged well!! So buy some to drink now and some to put away - you won’t regret it!! Beautiful location near the Girraween National Park - so lovely scenery on the way (but watch out for the local kangaroos).
2. Tobin Winery
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 101 reviews
At Tobin Wines, we talk about growing our wine, rather than making the wine. Our winemaking philosophy is undeniably ‘old world’, all respect is paid to the vineyard, the vine, and the pursuit of perfection in grape quality, with little if any reverence paid to the winemaker or winemaking process. Each grape variety is given the spotlight to truly reveal its own unique flavour. “No wine maker is gifted enough to make those wonderful flavours & aromas all of the work happens out there, in the vineyard” Adrian Tobin The production of our wine is limited to between 100 to 160 cases of each varietal every year. Our Limited Edition wines express their origins in the rugged and majestic landscape of the Granite Belt making them truly unique.

Easter: a busy time in any wine-producing area! Easter Monday was however a little bit quieter in Ballandean, near Stanthorpe, on the Granite Belt. Having been advised of several notable wine-tasting opportunities in the region by a Brisbane-based connoisseur, we booked a tasting for eight of us at Tobin Wines. What an experience! Expecting a quick 30-40-minute visit, with time for at least one other winery before sunset drinks, we actually left after 2½ hours!!! Adrian, the owner, winemaker Ian and his wife Sarah, were outstanding in presenting their fabulous wines. We were offered fresh glasses for each taste … and they were more than just the little sipping taste poured by many wineries … the pours were generous, more than enough to get a really decent appreciation of each of their delicious wines. There were lots of stories about wine, wine production, the cultivation, the climate, the pitfalls, history, what to look for, an extended visit backstage, and down to the old shed, full of history, and with an original concrete wine press from 1949. And, unlike several other wineries, tasting at Tobin Wines is at no cost … although they are SO good, you are unlikely to leave without a purchase! We had been told that Tobin wines were good. They are not. The wines are GREAT, the wines are FANTASTIC, the wines are truly SPLENDID! Adrian is a perfectionist, and obviously a stickler for quality wines, which Ian produces, very obviously aiming for precision and perfection. Adrian, Ian and Sarah’s passion for what they do is so very plain to see and feel, dedicated to producing, as their website says, “premium, limited edition, hand-crafted wines.” We did not walk out empty-handed! … and we will go back!!!

I’ve only very recently started drinking wine and Sonya was more than accommodating, taking me and my partner through the whole process and explaining the wines, taste and the winemaking process. Very informative and friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

3 of us stopped here as part of a wine tour. Tony and Mary were very friendly and knowledgeable. Tony gave us a great overview of some educational info in the winemaking business which was a nice touch. Cellar door is beautifully presented, clean and with nice glasswear to taste from. Excellent vineyard to stop in at for a taste.

Ohana Cider House and Tropical Winery is a must-see stop in the Bundaberg region. Sample a range of award-winning ciders, fruit wines and liqueurs with owners Josh and Zoe - or indulge in an insta-worth tasting paddle in the outdoor cider garden.

Just around the corner from the Bundaberg Rum Distillery is the Ohana Cider House & Tropical Winery. Here we met owners Josh & Zoe and heard their story about how (with no winemaking experience and on a whim) they purchased a run-down winery in Childers in 2014. They have done great things since then and now produce several different ciders, two different wines, a port and a liqueur. The apple cider is made with fresh apples from Queensland’s apple capital Stanthorpe and the wine is fruit wine made with strawberries and pineapple (yum!). I sampled several ciders and both the Strawberry Moscato and Pineapple Moscato. While the ciders were nice, the wine was excellent! In fact, it was so excellent that I ended up buying 12 bottles of it! My husband tried and purchased the coffee liqueur. They also do a cheese board to accompany your tastings that includes Kenilworth cheeses, so grab yourself one of these and settle in for a great afternoon! Pro tip: Get yourself a designated driver and grab yourself the $18 tasting paddle that allows you to try six different drinks of your choice.
7. Shannonvale Tropical Fruit Winery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 155 reviews
We make award winning wines from Tropical Fruit and no this does not mean they are sweet and sticky. They range from very dry wines to ports and they are all commercial standard. The wines are single-fruit wines, not blends. All the fruits we use have big flavours and we grow them in the organic way and in our own orchard. The flavours of the fruits are retained in the wine.

I took a detour to this unique tropical fruit winery on the way back to Cairns after a recent weekend in Mossman/Daintree. I wish I’d done it sooner. The setting is lush and secluded, the host was lovely & very attentive and the tropical fruit wines were sensational. They have won a lot of awards at wine festivals. I’ll be back and encourage others to support this niche local business. I bought a bottle of passion fruit wine as it was my favourite on the day but I could have picked any number of others.

A wonderful surprise to find wineries (our favourite pass time) in the South Burnett. Crane wines, just outside Kingaroy, is a wonderful example of how far Qld wines have come. Judy was really pleasant and the atmosphere created is wonderful. They have a huge range of fortified wines and specialty liquors to compliment their wines. Do yourself a favour and visit this region.

This small boutique winery is relaxing contemporary and Sienna our host for the Wine tasting was knowledgeable friendly and easy to chat to.. The wild fermented chardonnay has long been one of my favourite queensland whites and the 2018 vintage is no exception... Queensland wines are getting better and better every year.. So to those of you who turn up your nose at our wines I say give them a chance.... If you are visiting Tamborine Mountain then a trip to Witches Falls is a must....
