Virtual Online Tour for Granite Belt home of Qld Wines

Virtual Online Tour for Granite Belt

Marketing the Granite Belt this week moves to a new platform with the launch of a new online virtual tour. The 30 second online commercial provides an introduction to the Queensland wine capital for visitors on the web.

The online tour is the latest initiative of Granite Belt Wine & Tourism Inc (GBWT), the progressive local tourist association which is committed to putting Stanthorpe and surrounds on the map.

GBWT President Phil Moye commented: “The research shows that the majority of consumers do their travel research online and that YouTube is the world’s second biggest online search engine. These are the two reasons why it is important we now have our marketing message in video format online."


The virtual tour can now be reached from the front page of the official tourist information website and also learn more about the Queensland Wine capital at http://www.granitebeltwinecountry.com.au/pages/home-page/

If you do want to go out that way with a group may I suggest the Abbey of the Roses at Warwick for a fun place to stay ..I have been several times now each time has been a hoot!

One of my Favourite little Qld wine producers out there and on the Freestyle Tout wine list is Symphony Hill.

Symphony Hill Wines is a family-owned boutique winery located in the cool climate of the Ballandean highlands of Queensland's Granite Belt. Ewen and Elissa Macpherson bought the old table grape and orchard property in 1996 after falling in love with the area and its potential for premium wine production and in partnership with Ewen's parents Bob and Jill Macpherson have developed the vineyard to its present high standard. Symphony Hill Wines is a family focussed venture with, at one stage, four generations of the family living on the property.



Symphony Hill's winemaker and vineyard manager, Mike Hayes,is a third generation viticulturalist in the Granite Belt area. His links with the property go back to his childhood where he had his first kiss on the property's tennis court! Mike's proudest achievement to date is making the 2003 Reserve Shiraz which became Queensland's first ever gold medal winner at the 2005 Sydney Royal Wine Show.

Symphony Hill specialises in high quality wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Verdelho, Chardonnay and Viognier grapes proudly grown on the estate.
