Wine Travel - Queensland, Ridgemill Estate & Cabins

Visit Wine Country.

Stay at the accommodation at Ridgemill Estate Winery, self-contained studio cabins in the vineyards surrounding Stanthorpe on Queensland's Granite Belt. Enjoy a bottle of wine and cheese plate on arrival, plus a breakfast hamper for the morning. Wake up to peaceful rows and rows of vines right at the front door. Well appointed cabins, with everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable get-away.

A great place to stay for a wine tasting weekend. Three cellar doors are within walking distance, Ridgemill itself, plus Lucas Estate and Moonrise Estate. Which is perfect, as no-one will have to drive! Alternatively, you can get picked up from your cabin by a local wine tour operator.

There is a fire place for winter and a BBQ area and air conditioning for summer. If you're lucky you may spot some kangaroos in the driveway at dusk. The cabins at Ridgemill are run by very friendly staff and I am sure that running out wine won't be an issue during your stay!

Buying Wine - COOLY LIQUOR, Queensland, Australia

Holidaying on the Gold Coast is something many of us do. I grew up there, so visit as often as I can. At the southern end there are a plethora of beach side apartments to choose from. If you choose this style of holiday, with your own kitchen and spectacular views, you'll need a supply of decent wine. Here's where to buy wine:

COOLY LIQUOR.

Funny sounding name, especially if you're not a local. Funny looking wine displays too:

Excellent service. The staff here have always had excellent wine knowledge, particularly Australian wines. Most of the shop space is dedicated to sub $20 wines with the next biggest allocation $20 - $30 wines. Just about all the white and rosé wines are chilled. There is a small, but well-selected range of reds and Champagne at higher price points if you're looking to splurge. Plenty of Penfolds on offer too.

Cooly Liquor have three outlets on the southern end of the Coast and are my number one tip for take away bottles of good Aussie wine.
