Australian Capital Territory

Look beyond the political heart of the nation and discover one of Australia’s best-kept secrets: a thriving cool-climate wine and food culture. The Canberra District is a fast-growing wine region, earning accolades for its elegant Shiraz and crisp Riesling, born from a unique climate of cold winters and dry, hot summers. This is a paradise for foodies, where you can indulge in prized local truffles, handcrafted beers, and smoked meats, all sourced from passionate local artisans.

The ACT and surrounds punch well above their weight for food and wine. Think cool-climate cellar doors, chef-led dining, and producers who love a chat about what’s in season. Taste Marketplace pulls together a shortlist of experiences worth your time, from award-winning wineries to local places that regulars keep going back to.

Browse, book, and build a day (or weekend) around good wine, great food, and the people behind it.
