Welcome to our Wineries and attractions page, where you can find information and links to some of the best destinations the Stanthorpe area has to offer.

Stanthorpe is central to the Granite Belt Region of Queensland Australia, a remarkable area scatterred with protruding granite boulders and monoliths such as Bald Rock and the Pyramids. At an altitude of around 900m, the area enjoys the coolest and most pleasant climate in Queensland, with consistent low humidity and four distinct seasons. Just 2.5hrs by road west of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Stanthorpe is a popular and relaxing destination.
The Granite Belt is host to some 50 wineries, the cooler dry weather being ideal for a slower ripening process, allowing for superior fruit flavour and character. Many award winning wines can be found in the area, some of which we list below.
