Our Wines

The Poachers Vineyard straddles the north east facing slopes of the granite hills that lie in the heart of the Murrumbateman and Canberra Wine District. It is renowned for its soft, peppery shiraz and elegant aromatic white varieties. Now in the hands of the second generation, William Bruce.

A selection of our wines can be tasted free of charge at our Cellar Door, located within the Smokehouse Restaurant. Walk-ins are welcome for splash tastings at the bar. Bookings are recommended for our seated Wine Tasting Experience. You can make a reservation here.
