Snowy Vinyard and Micro-brewery
The Snowy Vineyard was established in the early 80’s (formerly know as Snowy River Winery) and has been a tourism icon since the early 80′s for visitors to the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales. We specialise in semi-dry sweet and fruity wines. The vineyard is the Coldest Climate Vineyard in Australia.
If you are looking for something unique, the Snowy Vineyard has the wine for that special occasion. Find out more about our cold climate wine varieties; our 2005 vintage being one of the best on record.
They have a cafe and do cellar door sales of their wine and beer.
You can make a day of it and do a loop drive from Alpine Habitats as shown below

Kosciuszko Brewery (at the Banjo Paterson Inn)
The Banjo Paterson Inn is the first pub on the left as one drives into Jindabyne from Canberra or Sydney. Stop for cold beer refreshment; stay for a fine meal; spend the night with good accommodation available.
Snowy Mountain’s newest brewpub has Kosciuszko Pale Ale available on tap directly from the brewery storage tanks, beneath the main bar area. From the Vat to the Tap: one can’t get much fresher beer than that. The brewhouse, including a copper-clad mash tun/lauter and brew kettle, is located in public view immediately adjacent to the main hotel entrance. Stop by for a cold Kosci Pale Ale with manager Jimmy or assistant brewers, Mick and Gavin. Kosciuszko Brewery encompasses the spirit and the inspiration of the Snowy Mountains.
This 600 litre microbrewery was started up by brewer Chuck Hahn in April 2009 as one of his latest brewing ventures after the Hahn Brewery in 1988 and the Malt Shovel brewery in 1998
