Courabyra Wines

Australia’s alpine wine country at its best — a 4.9-star cellar door pouring Tumbarumba sparkling above the Snowy Valleys.

Tumbarumba is where Australian wine goes alpine — some of the country’s highest, coolest vineyards, prized by the big sparkling houses for decades. Courabyra is the region’s front door: a family cellar door above the vines whose 4.9 rating across 441 reviews says the secret is out.

The cellar door

Seated tastings and platters run with the paddocks and hills rolling away below — the sparkling flight is the essential order, followed by the Chardonnays that made this region’s name.

Make a day of it

Pair it with the Tumbarumba–Rosewood rail trail and the Snowy Valleys Way drive; the town’s pubs and bakery handle the rest. Sydney is a proper road trip away — treat it as an overnight.
