Perfect Family Weekend Day Trip To Sarabah Estate Vineyard

Couples, Family, Maternity, Resources

Is wine tasting, cheese platter picnic under a canopy of olive trees on a quaint, dreamy countryside landscape your kinda date too? If the beautiful Sarabah Estate Vineyard in Canungra isn’t the perfect spot for a romantic Tuscan escape from Brisbane, I don’t know where would be! I am a sucker when it comes to olive groves with dreamy golden light filtering through the beautiful blue-grey olive leaves. This vineyard seriously transports you to the long Italian summer days where you can sip wine and eat cheese all day long!

Where is Sarabah?

Located just under an hour away from Brisbane, Sarabah Estate Vineyard is tucked in the serene valley of Lamington National Park in Canungra. The drive there is very scenic and not windy or bumpy at all. Hence it’s very suitable for young families and furbabies. Nestled in the beauty of Scenic Rim, good food and wine, magic views, peace and quiet await at Sarabah Estate on Rymera Road.

Best Brisbane winery Sarabah Estate offers Italian Tuscan country vibes perfect for engagement party.

Sarabah Smoke & Vine Menu

Set on 50 acres this hidden gem boasts not only a cellar door, but also Chalet Bistro for dining among the lush vines and olive grove. We ordered a woodfire pizza, cheese-tasting platter and a bottle of merlot to share between family. Make sure you sample drops like Rose, Sparkling Brut, Pinot Grigio and Shiraz and dine on plates such as mushroom and truffle arancini, truffle vegan mayonnaise and mushroom salt. If you go with a bigger group, perhaps settle in alfresco and pick up a slice of gourmet truffle pig pizza, with pork and fennel sausage, mozzarella, mushrooms and truffle oil of Italy.

Wine not? Why A Day Trip to Sarabah is worth it.

Here’s a list of quick reasons why a day trip is worth it besides wine:

  • The Tuscan olive grove is the perfect spot for a picnic hang with friends
  • Your dog is 100% welcomed
  • Alpaca patting farm is 5 minutes down the road
  • The food is absolutely amazing! Loved the divine picked vegetable (aka giarainera), ash brie and crisps with delicious beetroot dip. It is authentic Italian food that you get in Italy (believe me, I have just returned from Italy 3 weeks ago).
  • This could be your venue for wedding, engagement party, birthday party etc! Come check it out for yourself
  • This could also be the place for your engagement, maternity or family photoshoot!
  • If you love a change of scenery away from the hustle bustle of the city life to countryside beauty – this is for you. The lake, the olives, the warm sunlight has healing power!

Alpacas at Canungra Valley Vineyards

Mountview Alpaca Farm is 5 minutes down the road from Sarabah. I absolutely loved patting these fluffy cuties, feeding them and walking them! Small children will delight in their ability to ‘walk’ this large, placid animals and it will create a memorable day out for the whole family. What a perfect way to complete a day trip from Brisbane.

This photo was captured by my Instagram husband, who prefers not to edit photos and leave it as is. I loved this day trip we did to Canungra. I still have this photo – it’s been more than 5 years!
