ACT
With a history
of grape planting dating back to 19th century, regional settlers
first began producing wine on the slopes of the Yass Valley in
the 1860's.
Today, an
area rebirth in winemaking is centered around the townships of
Murrumbateman, Hall and Bungendore, known for their crisp whites
and award winning cool climate wines.
For visitors to the nation's
capital, it's also a great way to spend a day out - seeing the
Australia's newest wine district and its more than 140 vineyards -
with wine tasting tours at some 30 wine cellars open to the public
throughout the year.
