Description

The Vineyard

Centennial Vineyards is about cool climate grape growing and winemaking. The vines ripen with lower temperatures than most Australian wine regions. Because the climate is colder, vines ripen the fruit much more slowly and evenly than in warm regions, producing balanced, aromatic fruit.

Advantages of a cool climate include: increased aroma, wine flavours more fruity and delicate, more elegant, ageworthy styles, and higher natural acidity in grapes (most non-cool climate Australian wine regions need to supplement the low acidities with tartaric acid; we have natural high acidities so don’t need to).

Restaurant

Centennial Vineyards also has a restaurant which offers breathtaking views of the sprawling vineyards, and is an ideal setting to enjoy a relaxed lunch in the country with friends, great food and fine wine.

On balmy summer days, the restaurant's French doors open onto the spacious Australian veranda to provide a unique alfresco dining experience. In winter, the cosy and rustic appeal of the restaurant is enhanced by the enormous fireplace.

Centennial Vineyards Restaurant owners, Robin and Mandy Murray, have created a wonderful dining experience which makes the most of the beautifully appointed room and stunning vineyard views. To ensure there is something on the menu for everyone, Robin's cuisine is cleverly balanced between contemporary and bistro-style. Freshly picked Cuttaway Creek raspberries and the restaurant's home grown seasonal herbs contribute to the local produce fare.

The restaurant can also be booked for private functions, weddings and events.

Continue on the Old Hume Highway, past Wombeyan Caves Rd on your right, along the straight, back under the Freeway, then up the hill. Turn left onto Centennial Rd at the top of the hill, and you'll soon see the vineyards of Centennial.

From Canberra (South):
