Why Visit the Granite Belt in Spring
Spring transforms the Granite Belt into a picture-perfect getaway. Located near Stanthorpe, this cool-climate wine region bursts into life:
Vineyards in bloom – tender green shoots promise the year’s vintage.
Wildflower season – national parks like Girraween are carpeted with native blooms.
Perfect weather – warm days for exploring, crisp evenings for wine by the fire pit.
Must do events this spring
The Granite Belt Spring Calander is chockas full of Events, with more being added every week. A few standouts right now would be:
