Capital Country Information

The picturesque region surrounding the nation's capital is a sophisticated blend of country hospitality, excellent food, wine, accommodation facilities and attractions. Capital Country is known as a quality producer of cool climate wines with townships such as Young producing cherries and stone fruits used throughout Australia and great restaurants and cafes at each turn. The wonderful architecture of some of Australia's earliest established towns is also fascinating to explore.

Close to Sydney it is a facinating mix of heritage towns and villages, amazingly beautiful waterways and stunning country gardens. This is a place to revel in, to revisit the past and refresh the spirit.
