We accidentally found Jester Hill Winery yesterday. They had some local artists doing the Art Trail live art and letting tourists participate in water colours. They were brilliant and also had their own works for sale on the walls – of particular note landscapes, so beautiful and reasonably priced.

We popped into Jester Hill while riding between Stanthorpe and Ballandean and we were so impressed with the whole family business, the friendly welcome and only wished we could have stayed for lunch – it looked fabulous. We will be back.

We went to Jester Hill Winery with a tour for tasting and lunch the wine was wonderful, the lunch was awesome, we had goat and shiraz pie and for desert we had whisky and date pudding, so good, thank you YUM!

Jester Hills was one of our stopovers on our wine and dine guided weekend tour. The cafe and wine collection were quite good and the big eagle statue at the front of the winery was really quite majestic. One winery worth a visit if you get a chance. I asked the bus drive how it got its name. Something to do with the previous owner pointing to a nearby hill and saying it was just a hill and not a a mountain. Hence Jester Hill.
