Best Wine Tours from Canberra - Murrumbateman & Lake George Wine Regions

Looking for the best wine tours from Canberra? Drivision Australia offers premium wine touring experiences to the renowned Murrumbateman wine region and picturesque Lake George wineries. Our luxury chauffeur service eliminates the need for a designated driver, allowing you to fully enjoy Canberra's cool-climate wine regions.

Why Choose Canberra Wine Tours with Drivision?

Our Canberra wine tours visit boutique wineries known for exceptional Riesling, Shiraz, and Pinot Noir. The Murrumbateman wine region, just 30 minutes from Canberra, is home to award-winning wineries like Clonakilla, Shaw Wines, and Four Winds Vineyard. Meanwhile, the Lake George wine district offers stunning rural scenery and intimate cellar door experiences.

What Makes Our Wine Tours Special

Unlike typical bus tours, our wine tours from Canberra use luxury vehicles with professional chauffeurs. We've been operating Canberra winery tours for over 15 years, building exclusive relationships with boutique cellar doors. Our tours include all tastings, gourmet food pairings, and door-to-door service from any Canberra location.

ACT Wine Region Highlights

The ACT wine region and surrounding areas produce exceptional cool-climate wines. Our wine tasting tours Canberra showcase the diversity of local varietals, from crisp Rieslings to complex aged Shiraz. Many wineries offer exclusive tastings and behind-the-scenes cellar experiences not available to walk-in visitors.

Best Time to Visit Canberra Wine Regions

The peak season for wine tours in Canberra is spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May), offering the best weather and scenic vineyard views. Autumn is particularly popular for harvest-related events and vibrant foliage, while spring offers pleasant temperatures and blooming vines, making both ideal for visiting the surrounding Murrumbateman and Hall regions.

Key Times to Visit:

Autumn (March – May): Known for the harvest season, providing an authentic, behind-the-scenes experience with beautiful, colorful foliage throughout the vineyards. This is when winemakers are most active and many wineries offer special harvest events and new vintage releases.

Spring (September – November): Offers pleasant, mild weather, with vines waking up and blooming, ideal for scenic tours. The countryside comes alive with fresh green growth and wildflowers, creating perfect conditions for outdoor tastings and photography.

Summer (December – February): A popular time for longer days and warm weather, featuring many outdoor vineyard events. Enjoy alfresco dining, sunset tastings, and extended cellar door hours during the warmer months.

Winter (June – August): Provides cozy cellar door tastings with fireplace ambiance and hearty regional food pairings. A quieter time for more intimate winery experiences and special winter wine releases.

Tips for Visiting: Book early during peak seasons (autumn and spring), as these periods are highly popular, especially for weekends. Most wineries are within a 35-minute drive of Canberra city, focusing heavily around Murrumbateman, Hall, and Bungendore regions.
