What to expect
You'll board at Akuna Street in Canberra and settle into a shared coach that cycles through the Murrumbateman wine region. At each stop, you're free to spend 45 minutes or three hours—the choice is entirely yours. Some wineries offer seated tastings with platters; others invite you to wander the grounds. Between stops, relax on the bus with water and the provided route map. The continuous loop means you can skip a winery, double back, or linger longer at a favourite without worrying about missing a departure. Most days you'll share the bus with other wine explorers, creating a social atmosphere.
Good to know
Tasting fees vary per winery and aren't included—budget accordingly. Prams and service animals are welcome. Public transport runs near the route if you prefer alternative arrival. Suits all fitness levels. Bring cash for smaller wineries and a light layer for cellar temps.
