Queensland's wine industry is one of the State's best keep secrets and is growing. The history of the industry dates back to the 1860's - and like all good wines it has developed with age.

With over 1300 hectares of vines and a new generation of talented people at the top, the creation of quality Queensland wines has had wide acceptance nationally and internationally. As wine tourism gathers momentum globally, the burgeoning industry has seen more trail blazers emerge and cellar doors open. It's easy to lose count of the number of passionate vignerons and their families who warmly welcome visitors to experience the fruits of their labours, taste their Verdelho, Semillon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon varieties, plus full-bodied Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon reds.
