Robert Channon Wines- Champion Chardonnay and Sparkling Chardonnay.

We are one of the few small wineries in Australia to have won a national trophy at a national show for a champion wine.

This is effectively a 'Best in Australia' award. We did it for the first time with our Reserve Chardonnay 2002 which won the Trophy for the Best Chardonnay in the Royal Brisbane Show 2004 and then again with our Sparkling Chardonnay 2008 which won the Trophy for the Champion Sparkling Wine in the Australian Small Winemakers Show in 2010. Our Sparkling Chardonnay 2012 has just won its first Gold Medal - at the 2015 Cairns Wine Show.

Robert Channon Wines- Buy our wines on-line or join our Wine Club!

If you would like to purchase on-line, go to Buy Wine on the menu to see our current list including specials. If you are visiting the Granite Belt, come and see us at the winery.

Why not join our Wine Club? Receive our $90 Half Dozens (normally $120 to $130 of wine) twice a year as well as member discounts and benefits. The half dozen is red in May and white in November or you can sign up to receive only reds or only whites. Go to the Wine Club tab.

Robert Channon Wines - Cellar Door

Best Large Granite Belt Cellar Door 2015 - Gourmet Traveller Wine

Taste and buy our wines at our Cellar Door which is open on weekends from 10 until 5 and on Friday, Monday and Tuesday from 11 until 4.

Smell the roses on your way in!

The Singing Lake

The beautiful Singing Lake got its name back in 2001 when a well known champagne company tried to stop us from using our surname "Channon" for our new winery. "Singing Lake" was to be our back up name if the dispute went against us. Fortunately, it didn't.

We still use the Singing Lake name for our Café and on some of our wines.

You can enjoy the lovely view over the lake from the winery and the cafe.

Our Winery is for Sale

We have put our winery up for sale so that we can retire some time in the next few years and the right person can take over from us - with the advantage of our reputation for growing Australia's best Verdelho. Details are below if you are interested.

In the meantime, it is wine making, concert giving and making friends in wine as usual. 2018 has been a cracker of a vintage so you can look forward to some great wines coming out. Paola's Cafe is humming with her Spanish/ Argentinian menu and we are just planning our 2019 concert series.

We are offering either the whole 320 acre property for sale or alternatively just the vineyard and winery business for sale on its own title.

For information call us on 07 4683 3260.
