Pyramids Road Wines

Our vineyard was planted in 1999 and since then we have progressively increased our production to meet demand. We are two ex school teachers who made a tree change to the Granite Belt to grow grapes, make wine and open a cellar door. It’s a hands-on operation as all processes are completed by the two of us on site. We skillfully create regional wines that exhibit strong varietal fruit characters.

This winery is celebrating 20 years in 2019 and it is always worth a visit. You might be welcomed by their winery dog Ralph or by the smiling faces of Sue and Warren - but you will always get a warm welcome. We recently returned with a 2006 bottle of their Bernie’s Blend (named after Warren’s dad) and man it had aged well!! So buy some to drink now and some to put away - you won’t regret it!! Beautiful location near the Girraween National Park - so lovely scenery on the way (but watch out for the local kangaroos).

Lawdogs Australia

Public shows now permanently CLOSED. Kindly resist the urge to leave a bad review because you didn't look up trading hours first. Australian first working dog kennel open to the public for 1 hour sit down shows of law enforcement dog demonstrations and training. Visitors see training and demonstrations from protection, detection and agility dogs in an intimate experience under cover, seated behind a safety fence. There are often chances to be involved with puppy patting or helping hide training packages for the detection dogs to find. Lawdogs Australia also manages onsite the Truffle Discovery Centre Stanthorpe which includes guided tours of the Truffiere, truffle detection dog training area, truffle dog hunts, interactive gallery and tastings of truffle products. The gift shop and gallery is a foodies paradise including locally made truffle infused oils, honeys, salts, mustards and sauces as well local, regional and globally sourced artisan food products. Tastings are complimentary.

Had a great experience at the Lawdogs with both the truffle hunt and the dogs show. Really know how to share their knowledge of both with visitors and excellent service for all the staff. Very passionate about their involvement with the dogs and the treatment of rescue dogs.

Casley Mount Hutton Winery

I’ve only very recently started drinking wine and Sonya was more than accommodating, taking me and my partner through the whole process and explaining the wines, taste and the winemaking process. Very informative and friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

3 of us stopped here as part of a wine tour. Tony and Mary were very friendly and knowledgeable. Tony gave us a great overview of some educational info in the winemaking business which was a nice touch. Cellar door is beautifully presented, clean and with nice glasswear to taste from. Excellent vineyard to stop in at for a taste.

The Granite Belt

Reviewed By zzrbell - Brisbane, Australia

We stayed in Stanthorpe with family to explore the Granite Belt area. I gather so named because of all the boulders and rocks in the area. It has come a long way! Great food and world class wines as well as amazing local produce. Plenty to see and do from parks to antique shops and history. Start with the visitor information centre in Stanthorpe. Lots of accommodation options as well. We chose a farm cottage near town. A great place to spend a few days.
