Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre

The Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre serves as the gateway to exploring the Granite Belt Wine Country, Australia's highest wine region. Located in the heart of Stanthorpe, the centre provides comprehensive information about the surrounding countryside, from the region's 40-plus boutique wineries and cellar doors to the dramatic granite formations of Girraween National Park. Staff can help visitors navigate the area's seasonal highlights, whether that's autumn harvest season, the crisp "Brass Monkey" winter months, spring's apple blossom displays, or summer festivities.

The centre stocks detailed maps and guides covering the Granite Belt's diverse attractions, including breweries, distilleries, farm gates, galleries, walking trails, and accommodation options ranging from cosy cabins to farmstays. Visitors can gather itinerary suggestions, learn about dog-friendly spots throughout the region, and discover lesser-known attractions alongside the major draws. The team assists with planning wine tours, identifying family-friendly activities, and timing visits to coincide with regional events and markets.

Visitors often appreciate the centre's role in unlocking the full potential of a Granite Belt visit, particularly for first-timers navigating the scattered network of cellar doors and rural attractions across Stanthorpe, Ballandean and the surrounding countryside. The personalised local knowledge helps travellers make the most of this food-and-wine region within three hours' drive of Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Byron Bay.
