Posted on
It turns out Canberrans aren’t just obsessed with coffee – our city is also deeply addicted to wine and cheese.
Hey, there are worse things, right?
Following the publication of our first roundup of places to get wine and cheese in Canberra, we received an influx of reader suggestions for others that deserve a gong. So we figured we’d whip up another instalment for the next time you’re planning a lazy afternoon of snacking and sipping.
Here are five more places in Canberra serving up some great wine and cheese options.
Cork and Glass (Yarralumla)

This chic bottle store at the Yarralumla Shops knows a thing or two about a cracking good glass of wine – and they have the cheeses to match. Focussing on rare and aged wines, they’ve been a part of the Canberra community since 1970, and serve drops by the glass and bottle (all best enjoyed with their delicious cheese and charcuterie platters). Pull up a stool among the bottles or make your way through the cool room to discover an intimate space just made for oenophiles.

Sip on one of their bestselling drops and thank us later as you snack on a selection of cured meats, cheeses, dips, crackers, and pickled vegetables with their Antipasto Platter for two.
