Fancy a taste of the good life – food, wine, a cosy log fire, fresh country air and an escape from the pressures of big city living?

Southern Queensland Country begins just 90 minutes drive from Brisbane. It’s a different corner of Queensland, taking in rural cities such as Toowoomba and Warwick with their grand, historic houses and buildings; country towns like Kingaroy in the north and Stanthorpe in the south where the seasons are defined, the fields are rich and productive and country hospitality is on the menu.

There is much to see across this inviting region of wide-open spaces and even bigger blue skies. Heritage and rural history play a big part as does delicious produce served up in appealing cafes or hearty lunches in characterful country pubs. The cooler climes of the upland regions is not only suited to growing fruits and vegetables, it’s also ideal for producing grapes and one of the most popular locations of Southern Queensland Country is the wine district of the Granite Belt.

With some 30-cellar doors to explore and the region’s outstanding selection of alternative wine varieties to sample, the Granite Belt is just the place for a few days break of fine wine and country comforts. There is a range of accommodation available from picture postcard holiday cottages, to welcoming lodges and B&Bs, a stylish modern villa in a boutique retreat or a traditional homestead; holiday places situated on farms and others set amidst the vineyards. Indulge in the comfort, settle in by the side of a log fire, enjoy your favourite foods at country style restaurants and feel life stresses ebb away.
