Canberra District Wineries are gearing up for what is set to be another fantastic Wine, Roses and All that Jazz Festival, to be held this year on the weekend of 5 and 6 November.<\/p>\n

This year 22 of the region\u2019s wineries are participating in what will be a delightful two days of cool climate wines, smooth live jazz and the blooms and scents of spring roses, known for being successfully grown side by side with the vines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a key event on the Canberra District Wineries calendar. The festival always pleases visitors who come to escape the busyness of this time of year, and relax with the sights, smells, and sounds of spring \u2013 and of course the great wines and live music we have on offer,\u201d said festival organiser, Annemaree Schafferius of Tallagandra Hill winery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the locals it\u2019s an extra reason to get out and explore the many wineries located right on their doorstep, all within 35 mins drive of Canberra city,\u201d Annemaree continued.<\/p>\n

Some of the experiences on offer as part of the festival this year include tasty Mediterranean mezze with sparkling Bel Canto and music by \u2018As famous as the moon\u2019 at Brindabella Hills; the opportunity to test your senses with a wine scents challenge and barrel samples at Four Winds Vineyard; disgorging your own bottle of fermented ros\u00e9 and a long lunch at Lark Hill Biodynamic Wines; viewing an art exhibition and enjoying music from \u2018Acca Daicquiris\u2019 at Shaw Vineyard Estate; and a rare opportunity to taste the 2010 Shiraz Viognier at Clonakilla. *<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we also have the Festival Passport available. Visitors get their passport stamped at three of the participating festival wineries to go into the draw to win one of three Canberra District mixed dozens,\u201d Annemaree concluded.<\/p>\n
