Mount Majura Vineyard

Perched on the eastern slopes of the Majura Valley, Mount Majura Vineyard offers an unforgettable wine experience rooted in the ancient soils and unique climate of Canberra. Just a short drive from the city, this boutique vineyard is a must-visit destination for wine lovers and those seeking to connect with the region’s natural beauty and winemaking heritage.

Mount Majura Vineyard is celebrated for its expression of terroir—each wine a reflection of the land it comes from. The vineyard was established in 1988 when Dr. Edgar Riek and Dinny Killen planted the first vines on limestone-rich soil. Today, the vineyard is renowned for its flagship Tempranillo, along with exceptional Riesling, Shiraz, and Pinot Gris.

Visitors are welcomed with a friendly and intimate experience. The cellar door offers guided tastings where guests can sample the vineyard’s award-winning wines while learning about the unique geology and climate that define their character. For a deeper connection, take a vineyard tour, where you can explore the blocks of vines, learn about sustainable viticulture practices, and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding valley.

The vineyard’s commitment to innovation and quality continues to push boundaries, with new plantings of exciting varieties like Albariño and Mencia. Every sip tells a story—of the ancient Silurian soils, the Canberra District’s distinctive climate, and the passion of winemaker Frank van de Loo and his team.

Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile or a casual wine lover, Mount Majura Vineyard promises a relaxed and enriching experience that captures the essence of Canberra’s cool-climate winemaking.

Plan your visit: The cellar door is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. Tastings can be booked in advance for an immersive journey into the wines and the land that creates them.
