Celebrating Local: Our Wonderful Neighbours Vineyard 1207
Share
There’s something special about being part of the Murrumbateman community, where neighbours are collaborators, friends, and fellow makers of exceptional things. Just next door to our chocolate studio sits one of our favourite local producers, Vineyard 1207, a boutique, family-run winery crafting exceptional estate-grown cool climate wines right here in the heart of the Canberra District.
Those lucky enough to visit the winery will be met with the most breathtaking views of our district.
A Passion for Handcrafted Excellence
Vineyard 1207 is a true hidden gem, nestled on a beautiful, rocky slope with some of the best views in the district. Established in 2018 by Brett and Leonie, this family venture produces handcrafted wines that perfectly capture the unique character of Murrumbateman’s cool climate. With over six acres under vine, their wines are loved by locals and wine enthusiasts across the region.
Winemaker Brett, a qualified chemical engineer with over 20 years in the food industry, has brought a thoughtful and technical touch to the art of winemaking. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: to create wines that reflect the vineyard’s natural beauty and bring genuine enjoyment to those who drink them.
From Vine to Chocolate: The Perfect Pairing
Our collaboration with Vineyard 1207 is a celebration of local flavour. Together, we’ve created our Shiraz Truffle, featuring their beautiful Shiraz two ways; first in a smooth, velvety ganache and again in their deeply flavoured Shiraz paste. It’s the perfect meeting of chocolate and wine: rich, balanced, and unmistakably Murrumbateman.
Community, Collaboration & Christmas in the Country
We’re delighted that Vineyard 1207 will once again be joining us for our upcoming Christmas in the Country Tasting Event, a festive afternoon of chocolate, wine, and local cheer that captures everything we love about this community.
Why We Love Local
We’ve are constantly blown away at the sense of community and collaboration in Murrumbateman. At Sweet Pea & Poppy, we believe that the best flavours come from collaboration; from sharing ideas, ingredients, and stories with our neighbours.
We hope you’ll discover Vineyard 1207 and their beautiful wines!
