Queensland's Premium
Wine Country

Queensland's Granite Belt is Australia's highest altitude wine region, perched at over 800 metres above sea level. With a cool-climate microclimate reminiscent of France's Rhône Valley, this remarkable region produces wines of exceptional finesse and complexity.

With the first wine grapes planted in the 1860s, the Granite Belt carries over 160 years of winemaking heritage. Today, more than 50 cellar doors dot the rolling hills between Stanthorpe and Ballandean, each offering a unique expression of the land. The region's hallmark is its Strange Bird wines — rare alternative varieties that have wine lovers making the pilgrimage from Brisbane, Sydney, and beyond.

Why choose a guided tour? Our knowledgeable drivers transport you safely between cellar doors in air-conditioned luxury. No navigation, no designated driver headaches — just pure discovery. Cooee Tours has been doing this for over 30 years.

Strange Bird
Wines

Forget Shiraz and Chardonnay for a moment. The Granite Belt's most celebrated wines are its Strange Bird varieties — rare, non-traditional grapes that have been savoured in Europe for generations but rarely found in Australia.

These alternative varieties give Granite Belt winemakers the freedom to innovate, challenge conventions, and intrigue even the most seasoned wine connoisseur. Our Strange Bird Wine Tour is your passport to a world of vinous discovery.
