> Wineries on the Granite Belt
The Granite Belt, considered the Provence of Queensland, provides visitors with an abundance of fresh produce, premium wines and beautiful Australian country.

Nestled between Cunningham's Gap and the great Sundown National Park - the Granite Belt is a high altitude wine area where visitors can taste wines at modern chic cellar doors or small converted sheds; sample fresh fruit and vegetables along farm trails, enjoy matching Granite Belt wines and foods prepared in the friendly atmosphere of our restaurants and then retire to cozy B&B's, cottages or five star motels and resorts.

The diversity of the countryside provides activities for all ages… fishing, antique shopping, retail therapy, eating out, golf - whatever you desire, you will find it here. Our wines, country side, recreational activities and hospitality make the Granite Belt Queensland's premier wine destination.
