Vineyard
Our Story
Our Story
The Norton Road vineyard at Wamboin is a small four acre parcel of Pinot Noir, Merlot and Riesling first planted in the 1990s by the Davies family (of the former Shepherd’s Run).
We also have another small plot in Bywong of approximately 4 acres of Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
Both vineyards have had a difficult season and our vintage of Canberra District cool climate wines for 2020 was unable to go ahead due to smoke taint.
Despite a difficult vintage in 2020 we remain optimistic and are continuing to expand our operations in Wamboin with new plantings of Cabernet Franc and Gamay.
Dining
Our Story
Dining
Norton Road Wines hosts ‘Biggies BBQ’, bringing traditional Texas and Southern style cooking to Canberra, using the very best of local and regional produce.
Karen and Simon return to Texas as often as possible to ‘research’ the very best in Texas BBQ – think Franklins, Muellers, Smoke, Stubbs, Mickelthwaits, Harlem Road and others.
We've also been so impressed by fantastic dining experiences at Pecan Lodge , State of Grace, and some excellent Brazilian BBQ at Fogo de Chao.
Biggie's takes the low and slow style of cooking and gives it a bit of an Aussie twist.
Biggie's also showcases a selection of local craft beers, ciders and spirits.
Open for lunch Saturday and Sunday.
