Symphony Hill Wines

Symphony Hill Wines is a high-altitude, family-run cellar door on Eukey Road in Ballandean, one of the higher vineyards in the Granite Belt and a well-established dog-friendly stop. It is a reliable place to bring the dog for an outdoor tasting on the deck.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on-lead across the outdoor areas and during outdoor tastings, with sheltered, shaded seating so you are not stuck in the sun. Water bowls are provided for dogs on-site. The cellar door building itself is generally kept dog-free, so plan to be out on the deck and vineyard grounds.

Good to know. The estate is known for award-winning Shiraz, including reserve bottlings, and a fresh, unconventional neo-vino approach to its range. Staff are used to visitors with dogs, so it makes an easy first or last stop on a cellar-door run along Eukey Road.

Getting there. The address is 2017 Eukey Road, Ballandean, a scenic drive from Stanthorpe. On-site parking is available, with room for cars and coaches.

Nearby with the dogs. Hidden Creek is just up the same road, and Golden Grove Estate is a short drive, both dog-friendly, so a two or three cellar-door loop is easy to string together.

A weekend late morning suits the outdoor deck best; go on-lead and stick to the vineyard grounds rather than the cellar door interior.
