Your wine discovery starts here — in the beating heart of the Granite Belt. Ballandean Estate Wines is a feast for the senses and a must-do for wine lovers and foodies. Bring your friends and family, sink into a leather lounge, and indulge in a wine flight of your choice, signature platters, a Strange Bird varietal, or a glass of their world famous Saperavi.

Since 1932, the Puglisi family has been making wine on our family estate, and they would love to share their world-class wines with you. The estate is home to some of Australia’s oldest Shiraz vines, and rarest wine varietals. At Queensland’s oldest family-owned and operated winery, every bottle tells a story, of people, place and passion.
