This winery is just amazing and probably the best we found in the region - and we go to the Granite…read moreBelt fairly regularly! Just Red is a small family run business in one of the best growing areas of the Granite Belt. As their name suggests, they only produce "just red" wine. My husband is very particular on his reds, considering he grew up in and around the Barossa Valley of South Australia. Even he thought that they were on par with Barossa reds and was highly impressed with the vineyards, winemaking techniques used and the quality produced. I myself was not a big drinker of reds but I do like my ports and fortified wines. They do an amazing "daily red" which is a Shiraz and it is very drinkable on a daily basis (hence the name). Their Nikki's Vineyard Syrah is another type of Shiraz and is stunning. My pick though is their "Sweet Merlot". This is just devine and very much like a port but not as rich. If you prefer sweet wines, this is definitely a great pick. If and when you go to the region, definitely drop in an have a tasting. I can pretty much guarantee you will be leaving with a case or two .... or three of these amazing, well crafted and well produced wines!!

Castle Glen is always on my must visit places when we go to Stanthorpe…read more The owner is a very lovely man who not only makes wines, but liquers, whiskeys and now beer! He makes all of the alcohol on site and loves to experiment with different flavours and textures. My partner (the beer Connoisseur) was very curious to try the beers. As he is Britsh and German by heritage, he does know a thing or two about beer! He found the beers a bit hit and miss. He really liked the stout but did not like the pilsner beer. After sampling most of them, he settled on the stout, ginger and wheat beers. I also purchased a choc-mint liquer which I have had in the past and really enjoyed. He has a very large selection of liquers and you will defintely find one that will appeal to you. This is a must-stop place in Stanthorpe - not just to sample some finely made alcohol but just to admire the castle!

Such a novelty finally making it to Castle Glen in Stanthorpe after visiting their Mount Tamborine…read moreand Montville cellar doors. The "castle" is surrounded by quiet vineyard and a large neat forecourt. I was surprised at the size of the range- from port to alcoholic ginger beer, rum liqueur to something called sex at sunset- a blend of 9 liqueurs and wine. To be honest, the range wouldn't be as big if not for the different shaped bottles, but the extent of flavours is still amazing. You will find anything there you wish to try, and they even have little 100ml individual bottles behind the counter for purchase if you can't commit to everything!

Great selections of wines - both red and white. Warren (the winemaker) is very knowledgeable on…read morewines and will offer food tips on what will go with the wines. Definitely a must go-to place if you are looking for great wines in the region.

It is a bit off the beaten track but well worth the visit. Like with many of the places we visitied in Stanthorpe, all of the jams, vinegars, sauces and chutneys are all made on site. Everything we tried was just amazing and we bought a lot more than we had planned to. We did not have dessert but did stay for a coffee and tea - both of which were expertly made. Next time, we are definitely going to have dessert!
