Sirromet Wines

Perched atop a hill in Mount Cotton, Sirromet Wines offers sweeping views of Moreton Bay and the surrounding hinterland. This award-winning winery is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Scenic Rim or travelling between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. With a cellar door, restaurant, and regular events, it’s a polished yet welcoming introduction to Queensland wine country.

Highlights & What to See

• Cellar Door Tastings – Sample a range of estate-grown wines, from crisp Verdelho to rich Signature Cabernet Sauvignon, guided by knowledgeable staff.
• Lurleen’s Restaurant – Dine on modern Australian cuisine paired with Sirromet wines, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the vineyard and bay views.
• Wine Tours & Tastings – Join a behind-the-scenes tour to learn about the winemaking process, from vine to bottle, followed by a tutored tasting.
• Seasonal Events – Check for live music Sundays, harvest festivals, and the annual ‘Wine & Food Month’ – a lively calendar that draws locals and visitors alike.
• Picnic Grounds – Pack a hamper or grab cheese and crackers from the cellar door to enjoy on the sprawling lawns overlooking the vineyards.

Suggested Time to Spend

Allow at least 2–3 hours for a relaxed visit: a tasting flight at the cellar door (30–45 minutes), followed by a leisurely lunch at Lurleen’s (1–1.5 hours). If you’re joining a wine tour, budget another hour. You could easily linger for half a day if you combine a tasting, a meal, and a wander through the grounds. It’s a perfect stop on a self-drive itinerary through the Scenic Rim or as a day trip from Brisbane.
