Breathe in. Deeply. It feels different, doesn’t it? It’s time to experience the crisp air, big sky and big flavours of the Granite Belt.
Queensland’s premier country getaway destination, the Granite Belt is known for distinct seasons and regional flavours. The go-to for cosy winter getaways and wine by a roaring fireplace. But perfect in every season: cool fresh nights in summer's heat, changing leaves or vines glowing green in springtime.
Dine at restaurants serving locally-sourced produce, or step into the delis and farm stores to grab locally made cheese, chutneys and artisan products for a DIY picnic in the vines or on the rocks. Thanks to the region’s elevation, the Granite Belt offers many Strange Bird wines: alternative drops you’ll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in Australia. And you’re likely to leave the cellar door on a first-name basis with the whole crew.
