About Canberra Cellar Door
Canberra Cellar Door is a pop-up tasting room inside the Canberra and Region Visitors Centre at Regatta Point, looking out over Lake Burley Griffin. Local winemaker Emma Shaw set it up to showcase the Canberra District, and the shelves change with the seasons, mixing well-known regional labels with tiny garage producers. Group bookings centre on a guided tasting of six rotating district wines. A local winemaker or wine professional leads the pour, talking through varieties, vintages and the stories behind each bottle. The fee is $10 a guest and is credited against any bottles bought, so groups can take home their favourites. The team pitches the tasting at corporate outings, team building, hens parties, birthdays and visiting groups. Groups of any size are welcome, and the format can be adjusted to suit your numbers, with requests for particular wines accommodated where possible. Regular tastings run on Saturdays, and private group sessions at other times can be arranged on request. Walk-ins are welcome, but groups are asked to book ahead so space can be held. The Walter Café and Marion Restaurant next door make it easy to turn the tasting into a long lunch. The cellar door closes over July and August.

Frequently asked questions
What does a group tasting include?
Your group tastes six rotating Canberra District wines, guided by a local winemaker or wine professional who explains the varieties and the producers behind them. Bottles can be bought on the spot.
How much is the tasting?
The tasting fee is $10 for each guest, and it is redeemable against bottle purchases, so anyone who buys wine on the day gets that amount back.
How big can our group be?
Groups of all sizes are welcome. Share your numbers when you book and the team will shape the tasting around your group.
Can we book a private tasting outside Saturday hours?
Regular tastings run Saturdays from 11am to 3pm. Private group bookings at other times can be requested, and the cellar door is closed in July and August.
Is there somewhere to eat nearby?
Yes. The Walter Café and Marion Restaurant sit next door at Regatta Point, so many groups pair the tasting with lunch overlooking the lake.
