Norton Road Wines is a family-owned venture specialising in growing and making small batch, cool-climate wines. Owners, Karen and Simon work closely with local viticulturists and winemakers to grow and make delicious wines reflecting the terroir of their location. Through their Cellar Door and restaurant, they also support other local small batch winemakers, showcasing these wines alongside their own.
Inspired by several trips to the United States, Simon and Karen have created a dining experience unique to the Canberra region. BIGGIE’S is an American BBQ themed restaurant, serving a mouth-watering range of meats seasoned and “low and slow”.
Their philosophy is simple – to share the region’s best local food and beverages in a relaxed environment.
The Norton Road Cellar door and grounds are also perfectly set up for private functions, including special occasions, plus they have a large private room ideal to cater for conferences, meetings and planning days.

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 (formerly ‘Shepherd’s Run’). The vineyard is being rejuvenated, including additional plantings of Cabernet Franc and Gamay, and features a 800m high-altitude easterly aspect, perfectly suited to Pinot Noir.
We also have another small four-acre plot in nearby Bywong, featuring Pinot Noir, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc.
