The rich volcanic soils of the Scenic Rim, the world's largest caldera, mean that Ipswich lies on the doorstep of an award-winning wine region producing both full-bodies reds and refreshing white varieties. German settlers in the late 19th centure began wine-making in the Ipswich region and over recent years this tradition has been revived. Our vineyards and wineries offer visitors the opportunity to taste award-winning wines in a variety of settings.
