About Eden Road Wines
Eden Road Wines pours its cool climate range at a cellar door on the Barton Highway at Murrumbateman, in the Canberra District. A guided tasting takes about an hour and works through five seasonal wines, often including small-batch and limited releases. Groups of up to eight can book a tasting together, which keeps it relaxed and gives everyone time to ask questions as each wine is poured. The wines come from two estate vineyards planted in the early 1970s: one at Murrumbateman, sitting at 620 metres, and the Cullarin vineyard on the slopes beside Lake George. The cooler Lake George site suits Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while the home vineyard is known for Riesling and peppery Shiraz. Winemaking and bottling all happen on the property, led by French-born winemaker Celine Rousseau. The tasting fee is $20 a person and can be put towards any bottles bought on the day. There is no restaurant, so plan a meal elsewhere and treat the visit as a focused tasting stop for a birthday or a small catch-up with friends. The cellar door opens Thursday to Sunday, so a weekend visit fits easily into a day out with friends in the wine country.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can join a guided tasting?
Guided tastings are offered for one to eight guests, which suits a small birthday group or a few friends. For larger numbers, check with the cellar door before planning the day.
How much does a tasting cost?
A guided tasting is $20 a person, and that amount can be redeemed against any wine each guest buys at the cellar door on the day.
How long is the tasting and what do we try?
Allow about an hour. The tasting works through five seasonal wines from the Eden Road range, and the line-up can feature small-batch bottlings and limited releases from the Canberra District.
Is there food or a restaurant at the cellar door?
No. Eden Road runs wine tastings only and has no restaurant on site, so groups usually plan lunch or dinner somewhere else around the tasting.
When is the cellar door open?
The cellar door at 3182 Barton Highway, Murrumbateman, opens Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 4:30pm and is closed Monday to Wednesday.
