Halliday Wine Companion 2023 released August, 2022 has rated Helm Wines: “A winery which is outstanding, regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity, and generally acknowledged to have a long track record of excellence in the context of its region – truly the best of the best. Among just 12.8 % of Australian wineries.
Eden Road Wines
2021 James Halliday Wine Companion: Eden Road is a Red 5-Star Winery. Your tastings will include: 95 Points - 2018 The Long Road Syrah The fruit from Eden Road Estate vineyard in Murrumbateman & the Hilltops GI. 95 Points - 2018 Canberra Syrah The fruit from Eden Road Cullarin Block 71 vineyard at Lake George Escarpment (first planted in 1971 by the father of the Canberra wine industry Dr. Edgar Riek & Eden Road estate vineyard in Murrumbateman Block 94 (second planted in 1972). Eden Road vines are grown across a collection of unique properties comprising different soils and altitudes, with grape varieties best suited to these conditions, to produce wines of varietal purity, finesse and complexity. In 2017 award-winning French winemaker Celine Rousseau joined the family at Eden Road Wines; and since, Eden Road winemaking has been re-defined. It is based on world-leading traditional techniques aimed at producing wines that are a pure and sincere expression of their terroir.
Four Winds Vineyard
Here, you will have a pizza lunch, paired with wine tastings. The Four Winds Story began with a miner and his wife who lived on the property in a slab-hut. Her name was Scheherazade, after the story telling character in The Arabian Nights. Her favourite story described a magic carpet being borne by the four winds of good fortune. She named this small farm in Murrumbateman ‘Four Winds’ in the hope it would carry their good fortunes. Four Winds planted their thirty-three acre vineyard in 1998 and 1999 with five varieties: Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese.
Jeir Creek Wines
Worked hard to create a new look label that shows both where our wines began and where we are going. The Royal Bluebell, now in gold, reminds us of Jeir Creek Wines’ rich history. As the floral emblem for the ACT, it also continues our strong connection to Canberra. The rest is us, modern, yet classic. Tradition and history are as important to us as modernization and quality. We hope you agree that our new look brings these values together. You will continue to see some of our old labels on our older vintages until sold out.

Good Tour, Great Wines, and New Friends
We had an enjoyable wine tour experience. It was a nice opportunity to taste and experience different wines, and my husband was especially happy with the variety. We also got to meet new friends along the way, which made the day even more memorable. Our tour guide, Bishoy, was very attentive and always checked in to make sure we were doing well throughout the trip. Overall, it was a good experience and we appreciate the care and hospitality.

Thank you Marie for your lovely words (: Both of you please join again

Room for improvement all round
Not what is described in the tour details. Started with no message or person at pickup point to direct us to where the bus was parked. Bus old and rickety. Driver trying to make up time for delayed start drove fast and we were sliding off seats. The first winery was nice with cheese platter, limited commentary. 2nd winery Shaw Smith was great. Then it was downhill with a horrible pub lunch and tasting at what seemed like a hobby farm. The presenter here was entertaining. Never made it to the fourth winnery. If not for the other travellers it would not have been and enjoyed tour. I've done other wine tours in Aus and around the world. This one was relatively poor and not value for money. A lot of room for improvement.

Hi Nell, I don't agree with all you said, but sorry that the day didn't live up to your expectations and preferences.

Wine tour
it was amazing! The guide was super friendly and knew so much about the wines and the area. We visited a few different wineries, each with its own vibe, and got to try some really great wines. The views were gorgeous, and the small group made it feel laid-back and personal. Everyone at the wineries was so welcoming, and it felt more like hanging out with friends than a typical tour. If you're into wine (or just a good time), definitely check this one out!
Operator response
Thank you!!
