Southern Downs & Granite Belt

What is not to love about the Southern Downs & Granite Belt! Beginning just 90 minutes from Brisbane, you will find the perfect mix of breathtaking natural landscapes, immersive wine experiences, fresh local produce and exhilarating events. Best known for some of Australia’s highest vineyards (read: 1,000 metres above sea level) and leading the pack with Strange Bird varietals with over 50 cellar doors, we can think of at least 50 things to do in this region straight off the bat. More than that, this region also represents that pocket of countryside that has vast sky panoramas, precariously balancing prehistoric granite boulders, a rich multicultural and agricultural heritage, plus a generally cooler climate, where in Winter, you might just see snow.
