What’s on This Weekend in Canberra: Sitchu's Top Picks
This is what we're doing this weekend in Canberra.
Go Winery Hopping
Make the most of this mild weather and swill, sip and repeat at some of Canberra’s premier wineries. At Pialligo Estate, you can visit the cellar door, or make a day of it by signing up for a wine or cooking class or lingering over lunch at the restaurant.
Just a 15-minute drive from the city centre, Mount Majura Vineyard has made a name for itself for its boutique wines and beautiful views. To learn more about viticulture, sign up for the gumboot tour.
Check Out Canberra's Newest Restaurant, Compa
Chef Matt Moran's latest opening is already causing a fuss in the very best way. An Italian steakhouse channelling Moran's ethos of sustainable and seasonal produce, many of the ingredients come straight from the family farm, including the Black Angus and charcuterie cuts from their Berkshire pigs. Pair your choice of protein with fresh pasta and a swathe of tasty sides. The fun selection of antipasto plates makes Compa the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely weekend lunch!
