Brindabella Winery Lunch
The Brindabellas form a gorgeous mountain backdrop to our City. Nestled gently on a ridge above the Murrumbidgee River, a mere 25 km north of Canberra, the Brindabella Hills vineyard and winery makes the most of the views to the west.
The quality of the wines is evident – they have produced many award-winning wines and national ‘boutique winery’ trophies for Chardonnay and Shiraz, and local trophies for Riesling, Cabernets, and Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon, and The Vineyard Café is a delight, with delicious dishes are prepared to match perfectly with the Brindabella Hills Wine List.
But what is lunch without a warm-up run? Steve and Cecelia will lead us on a run from the Cotter, along Mountain Creek Road, Wee Jasper Road and the Barton Highway to ensure we have an appetite when we reach the vineyard. The run is about 130 km, and should take 1:50 hours, give or take. It is a scenic and much-loved route through the countryside.
Lunch will be the set two-course menu (with bread) and will cost $65 per person. Wine-tasting before or after lunch is an option that most will find hard to resist.
Numbers are strictly limited to 20 persons. First in, best dressed as always.
You can join us for lunch only, if you wish. Please let Steve know when you register if this is your choice. Either way, the lunch numbers are strictly limited to 20 persons.
