The Canberra District Wine Book

In many ways the Canberra District is just like the fledgling Hunter Valley of 30 years ago. It can expect to become a major tourist attraction in its own right over the next 30, as visitors to Canberra begin to fully appreciate the quality of the wines, the beauty of the rolling hills of the district and the fine food and accommodation available to visitors.

Canberra, the nation’s capital, has many public institutions and tourist attractions that draw many tourists to the region. From there, it is only a short journey to the vineyards and wineries. The Winery Profiles and associated maps and touring guides are designed to provide the visitor with all the necessary information for touring and staying in the District and discovering the fine wines available. There are many undiscovered treasures among Canberra District wines and this book will help the reader find them. The book was written by Brian. {120 pages, full colour, 33 Winery Profiles}
