An easy escape from Brisbane, the Southern Downs and Granite Belt takes in the towns of Stanthorpe, Warwick, Killarney and a string of friendly villages. The region has the perfect mix of immersive wine experiences, fresh local produce, breathtaking national parks and exhilarating events, all celebrated across four distinct seasons. Chat to the locals in a country pub, meet the winemaker at one of

our cellar doors, tackle mountain peaks in World Heritage national parks or watch a cowboy ride a bucking bull in Australia's rodeo capital. The Granite Belt is Queensland’s premier wine destination, with over 40 cellar doors and breweries. Discover local art galleries, farmers markets, roadside produce stalls, cosy cafes, gourmet providores and restaurants celebrating our local tastes. Come and join us in the heart of Southern Queensland Country, where a warm country welcome and a refreshing escape await you - simple slow down, breathe deeply and savour the essence of country life.
