Varias

Varias is the restaurant at the Queensland College of Wine Tourism on Caves Road, Stanthorpe, a modern dining room that doubles as a training venue for the region's hospitality students. It is worth the trip for the vineyard views from the deck, and dogs are welcome to join you there.

Dog access and setup. Dogs are permitted on the outdoor verandah, not inside the main dining room. Mention your dog when booking, since the covered outdoor seating is limited and popular with other diners. Bring your own water bowl, staff are welcoming but a bowl is not guaranteed to be on hand.

Known for. A locally sourced, modern Australian menu built around Granite Belt produce and wines, served with a view over the vineyard from the deck.

Getting there and parking. The address is 22 Caves Road, Stanthorpe. There is no public transport option, but a taxi can drop you at the door, and on-site car parking is plentiful.

Nearby with the dogs. The College grounds are landscaped and good for a short stroll before or after your meal. Stanthorpe's town centre is a short drive away with several dog-friendly cafes offering footpath seating, and a number of the Granite Belt's wineries allow dogs in their outdoor areas too.
