About Shaw Estate
Shaw Estate is a winery on Isabel Drive in Murrumbateman, in the Canberra District wine country. Its cellar door is a modern tasting room with wide views over the vineyard, and the team pours a range that runs from riesling and chardonnay through to shiraz, tempranillo and cabernet. Tastings are seated and led by staff, who explain how each wine is made as you work through a flight of four or six. Groups of five or more need to book ahead, and parties of 10 or more can ask for a private space, which may carry an extra charge. A reserve flight of three larger pours with a shared charcuterie board is also on the list. For work groups, a hosted six-wine tasting can be added to a meeting or planning day, alongside a beginner cocktail class, a pasta-making masterclass or a yoga and breathwork session. The estate also hosts weddings, birthdays, engagements, bridal and baby showers and Christmas functions. Its function centre, the Estate Room, seats up to 120 and opens onto a terrace and lawn for pre-dinner drinks, while smaller groups can use the Private Cellar or the private dining room. Function catering is all in-house, with plated menus from $100 per person. The restaurant opens for lunch from Friday to Sunday and for dinner from Thursday to Saturday, so a tasting can lead straight into a meal. There is plenty of parking on site, including accessible bays and EV charging.
