Vin & Gin Canberra – Full-Day Wine, Gin & Chocolate Tour

Discover Canberra's Food, Wine & Spirits Scene

Spend a full day exploring the flavours of Canberra and the surrounding wine region on an immersive wine, spirits and chocolate experience. Designed for travellers who enjoy discovering local producers and tasting regional specialties, this guided tour brings together several of the area's most appealing food and beverage experiences in one relaxed itinerary.

The tour provides an opportunity to see more than just Canberra's famous landmarks. Instead, guests venture into the region to discover cool-climate wines, local produce, handcrafted chocolate and Australian gin. With transportation and a professional guide included, the day is designed to be enjoyable from start to finish without the need to organise separate venues or drive between locations.

The Canberra District is recognised for its cool-climate wine production and boutique producers. The region offers a diverse selection of wines and cellar-door experiences, making it an appealing destination for visitors interested in Australian wine culture.

Visit Two Local Cellar Doors

Wine lovers can enjoy tastings at two local cellar doors during the experience. The exact wineries can vary according to operating schedules and availability, helping the tour maintain a flexible itinerary.

At the cellar doors, guests can discover locally produced wines while learning more about the region's winemaking traditions. The experience is not simply about tasting; the guided format provides an opportunity to understand the people, products and places behind Canberra's growing food and wine scene.

The tour's itinerary is intentionally flexible, meaning the venues visited may change from one departure to another. This allows the guide to create a balanced day based on which producers are open and what experiences are available.

Tasting fees at the participating cellar doors are included, so guests can focus on enjoying the experience rather than managing additional tasting charges throughout the day.

Chocolate & Gin Experiences

The tour adds variety to the traditional winery experience with visits focused on artisan chocolate and gin.

Guests can visit a local chocolatier and enjoy tastings of handcrafted chocolate products. This sweet element creates a natural contrast with the wine and spirits experiences and adds another perspective on Canberra's local producer scene.

The itinerary also includes a visit to a local gin distillery. Guests can discover the craft behind locally produced spirits and enjoy gin tastings as part of the experience. The distillery visit gives participants an opportunity to learn more about the production process while sampling regional spirit offerings.

Combining wine, chocolate and gin makes the tour suitable for travellers who want a broader culinary experience rather than a conventional winery-only outing.

Enjoy Lunch with Wine

A relaxed lunch forms an important part of the full-day experience. Guests can enjoy a one-course meal at a winery, accompanied by a glass of wine.

The lunch provides time to relax between tastings and enjoy the surrounding regional atmosphere. Rather than rushing from one venue to another, the itinerary incorporates a proper meal into the day's activities.

Lunch and a glass of wine are included in the experience price, helping make the tour a convenient all-in-one option for visitors looking for a full-day food and beverage experience.

The combination of local wine, regional scenery and a leisurely lunch makes this experience particularly suitable for couples, friends, small groups and visitors seeking a relaxed Canberra day trip.

Comfortable Full-Day Guided Experience

The experience lasts approximately seven hours, allowing enough time to visit multiple producers while enjoying the food and tastings along the way. Transportation is included, making it easier for guests to move between Canberra and the surrounding regional venues.

The tour generally begins at 9:30 AM from the meeting point in Braddon and runs for approximately seven hours. Current operator information indicates a small-group format, with groups limited to around 11 guests, creating a more personal experience than large coach tours.

Because the itinerary depends on venue opening times and local availability, every departure may be slightly different. The guide focuses on creating a well-balanced selection of wineries, food producers and spirits experiences.
