Stanthorpe is Queensland's coolest town. It gives you easy access to breath-taking panoramas and spectacular countryside adorned with prehistoric granite boulders. It has a cool and temperate climate. If you don't mind chilly mornings, you can go fruit-picking and come back with apples, pears, berries, stone fruit, figs, persimmons, olives and a wide variety of vegetables. The region houses over 50 wineries and has a growing national reputation as a leading wine producer. Along with wine you can find hand-made jams and preserves, farmhouse cheeses, vinegar, chocolates, olive oil and more. The best time to visit so you can fully appreciate the region would be during the winter season. You can have a magical evening drinking the local wine near a open fire. A perfect getaway for honeymooners and retirees.
