Hidden Creek
Vineyard Winery & Cafe is situated in the beautiful rugged high altitude hills of Queensland's Granite Belt (at 980 metres above sea level, about 3 hours drive from Brisbane), our estate has hot summers and bitterly cold winters. This climate together with the arid granite rocky soils draws similar comparisons to inland European regions such as northern Spain, the inland south west of France around Cahors and Gaillac, and the upper Rhone Valley in France. These regions have a tradition of delicious characterful wines that are wonderful accompaniments to food. At Hidden Creek we have adopted the inspiration of these regions. Come see us and relax in the tranquil gardens beside our lake where you can enjoy the peacefull surrounds whilst sipping on some of our exceptional wines and indulging on some tasty treats from the cafe'.

The Bramble Patch
Set in the heart of the Granite Belt 15km south of Stanthorpe, the Bramble Patch occupies picturesque property tucked away high in the hills above Glen Aplin. At an altitude of 850m, we enjoy crisp frosty winters and mild summers, making our property a treat to visit all year round.
A family operated business since 1994, we manufacture a range of over 60 award winning preserves in our on site factory.
2010 has seen great success at the Hobart, Sydney & Melbourne Fine Food Awards with the Bramble Patch bringing home 4 Gold medals, 1 Silver and 5 Bronze, confirming our place amongst gourmet producers from around Australia!
With everything from jams, sauces, coulis, vinegars, chutney's, pickles and fruit pastes, as well as fortified berry wines, there is something to tempt everyone's tastebuds. With everything available for testing you can also "try before you buy", which is all part of the fun! While a large part of our product range features berries, we also utilise the abundent fruit and vegetables available here on the Granite Belt including eggplants, tomatoes, capsicums, figs, quinces and grapes, with many of these forming the base for our most popular products. Our current number one seller is Eggplant Kassoundi - a spicy Indian style eggplant chutney.
The Bramble Patch is definitely a food lovers heaven! As well as our delicious gourmet products we serve a range of luscious berry desserts that can be enjoyed with an espresso coffee, either next to the roaring log fire during winter, or in our leafy, manicured gardens during the warmer months. Try a sensational Hot Waffle, house-made Blackberry & Apple Pies (during Winter), freshly prepared Poffertjes (mini Dutch pancakes), or our very own "Ice Burger" - a chocolate sponge filled with ice-cream and berry sorbet that is warmed and then smothered in our Bramble Patch berry coulis! The kids will also love to watch our famous ice-cream machine churn them out a yummy berry ice-cream while they wait! So, based on this, make sure you plan your visit to The Bramble Patch to coincide with morning or afternoon tea, or enjoy lunch at one of the wineries and finish off with dessert here. We also like to say that "life is short - and there is nothing wrong with dessert for lunch!"
The Bramble Patch is simply a great place to stop and appreciate our serene, country surroundings - a unique concept not to be missed on any trip to the Granite Belt, that will be enjoyed by all of the family.
Groups are very welcome, although we do encourage bookings to ensure you have the best possible Bramble Patch experience.
