The experience

Merry Heart CBR runs this tour to the Canberra wine region's award-winning small producers. You'll taste at Helm Wines, rated among the top 12.8% of Australian wineries by the Halliday Wine Companion, and at Eden Road, a five-star red winery where French winemaker Celine Rousseau oversees production using traditional techniques. The third stop is Four Winds, where you have a pizza lunch paired with their Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot or Sangiovese: all planted on the same 33-acre property in 1998 and 1999. A fourth venue may be Jeir Creek Wines, whose Royal Bluebell label (the ACT's floral emblem) connects the winery's history to Canberra itself.

The coach is air-conditioned, stocked with complimentary water bottles and soft drinks in a refrigerated esky, and equipped with phone chargers for the drive. Lunch includes shared cheese platters alongside the pizza pairing. Tasting fees are covered, so you move between wineries without extra charges at the door. The itinerary is flexible (the operator may route through Murrumbateman, Lake George, Bungendore or Wallaroo depending on the day), so the exact stops can shift, but the three or four tastings and the lunch stay fixed.

This is built for groups who want to meet other wine drinkers or reconnect with friends over a morning of tasting. The minimum age is 24, and all surfaces and transport are wheelchair accessible. The 6-hour duration covers time on the road and at each winery. Add travel time from your pickup point and back.
