Lake George Winery: A Cool-Climate Gem Rewriting the Wine Story in the Canberra Region


Posted September 18, 2025 by lakegeorgewine

Celebrating over 50 years of wine making excellence, Lake George Winery continues to stand out in Australia’s wine scene as a family-owned, sustainable, and innovation-driven estate in the cool climate wine district of Canberra.

 
A Terroir to Treasure

Perched at an elevation of 849 metres above sea level, Lake George Winery benefits from the crisp, long growing seasons and diurnal temperature shifts characteristic of Australia's premium cool-climate wine regions. These conditions, paired with hands-on grape selection and minimal intervention winemaking, yield wines that are expressive, refined, and true to their origin.

Notably, the estate has embraced sustainable practices throughout its operations. From vine to bottle, the winery combines hand harvesting with eco-sensitive methods and proudly offers a range that is vegan-friendly.

Wide-Ranging Wine Portfolio and Noteworthy Labels

Lake George Winery’s cellar door and online shop offer a curated selection of award-winning and small-batch wines, featuring varietals such as Shiraz, Riesling, and sparkling Blanc de Blanc, among others. Among its recent highlights are:

The 2024 Riesling – crisp, floral and regionally expressive
The 2023 Shiraz – bold, nuanced and elegantly structured
Specialty blends and gift packs, including “Blush & Berries Delight” and “Father’s Day Special – Six Pack” that showcase both quality and creativity.
More Than Wine – Experiences, Dining, Events & Stay

Lake George Winery invites guests to linger. Alongside the cellar door tastings, visitors can enjoy bespoke dining experiences, including custom-menus designed for special events or a casual gathering in the Wine Room.

For those seeking an immersive stay, the winery offers accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets—from glamping tents and a one-bedroom cottage to a homestead with capacity for larger groups. Each stay is designed to capture the peaceful ambience of the vineyard and majestic morning sunrises over the hills.

Lake George also plays host to weddings, corporate events, and celebrations, offering versatile ceremony and reception venues among scenic vineyard backdrops.

Invitation to Experience

Lake George Winery extends a warm invitation to wine enthusiasts, travellers and food lovers to come and experience the synergy of nature, craft, and hospitality. Whether it’s for a tasting, a weekend retreat, a sumptuous meal paired with estate wines, or a memorable event, the winery strives to deliver an experience that lingers in memory long after the last sip.
