BUSINESS OF THE MONTH

Four Winds Vineyard

Located just east of Murrumbateman and 35mins from the Canberra CBD, is Four Winds Vineyard, the ultimate place to indulge in award-winning cool-climate wines, delicious wood-fired pizza and incredible views.

Since its first vines were planted in 1998, the Four Winds Vineyard has enjoyed years of success as a favourite vineyard for locals and visitors alike. In 2019 the business expanded to include a new vineyard and winery, Kyeema Estate, just a short 20minute tractor ride from Four Winds Vineyard. Following this expansion, Four Winds was impacted by 2019's damaging bush fire season which saw their entire 2020 crop tainted by smoke. Despite the catastrophe, the Four Winds Team managed to turn this crop into a Riesling Gin which was recently awarded a bronze medal at the Australian Gin Awards that features the same lovely floral and citrus flavours that you will find in the Four Winds Riesling.
