Canberra is blessed with lots of lovely wineries for a weekend outing. But Murrumbateman Winery has the advantages of being easy to find and offering a genuinely welcoming, generous and gracious style of hospitality that is a treat in itself.

Bobbie Makin’s passion for sharing his wines is clear as he introduces his range., each time making you feel like very welcome and special guests.

Start with Bobbie’s wine tasting (free for groups of ten or less) before selecting a glass (around $7) (or bottle $25-$30) to go with your pre-ordered tasting platter (pre-order by 6pm Wednesday).

Greek Mezze $19.50 (for two people, price reduces with larger groups)

Taramasalata, Hummus and Tzatziki with garlic baked Turkish Bread, Stuffed Capsicums and Roasted Artichoke

Then sit back and enjoy along with a lovely view of the vines.
