Ballandean Estate Wines is one of the best-known cellar doors south of Stanthorpe and a useful first stop for understanding the Granite Belt wine scene. Wine has been made here since the 1930s, and the estate is closely tied to Queensland's shift from a curiosity to a serious cool-climate wine region.
Come for a tasting rather than a long museum visit. The wider value is the drive through Ballandean and the surrounding vineyards, where the Granite Belt identity is most obvious.
