Fireside Grazing at Sirromet Wines: Winter Firepit Picnic in Mount Cotton | Winery | Wine

At Sirromet Wines in Mount Cotton, Queensland, winter evenings take on a private, cinematic quality. Think flame-lit circles, a wool picnic blanket, and a low arc of vineyard illuminated by the fire. The Fireside Grazing Experience is a three-hour, adults-only ritual built for slowing down—a private fire pit for two, a gourmet grazing hamper, and your choice of premium Seven Scenes wine or a cup of mulled wine.

You check in at Tuscan Terrace and are escorted to a cordoned fire site where staff stoke the flames and arrange an entrée-style spread. Included are cured meats, artisan cheeses, olives, lavosh, and seasonal small plates packed in a Sirromet jute grazing bag. A stemless Sirromet cup and the picnic blanket are yours to keep while the team maintains the fire.

Set on gentle vineyard slopes with backing ridgelines of eucalyptus and open sky, the site becomes a small amphitheater for conversation, stargazing, and the slow work of warming up. That sense of place—vine rows, crisp air, the faint crackle of wood—gives the evening its particular character and ties the tasting to the landscape.

This is not a crowded cellar-door flight but a curated outdoor pause: thoughtful food pairing, attentive service, and the option to swap a glass of Seven Scenes for a warming mulled wine served in a keep cup. Before or after your fireside, visit the Cellar Door for a guided tasting, live weekend music, or a Tuscan Terrace dinner to extend the night.

The experience lasts approximately three hours, costs AUD 119 for two, runs Saturdays and Sundays from 30 May to 30 August, and is limited to guests aged 18 and over. Arrive early if you want a tasting beforehand; dress in insulating layers, bring closed shoes, and book ahead on weekends when this small, two-person format fills quickly.

For visitors based in Brisbane or Redlands, it’s an effortless way to feel off-grid without leaving civilization—an evening that pairs local hospitality with the region’s cooler-season atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating, reconnecting, or just craving a deliberately slow winter night outdoors, the Fireside Grazing Experience at Sirromet refocuses the senses and makes the vineyard itself part of the menu.

Booking is online via the provided referral link; spots are strictly limited to preserve the intimate atmosphere, and the third-person option is not offered so plan for a pair. The site can feel exposed to wind, so check forecasts and choose a sheltered table if available; staff will tend the flames, but guests should respect fire safety instructions and local restrictions. Bring a camera, a warm hat, and curiosity—this is an understated winter ritual that highlights seasonal food, hand-selected wine, and the quiet architecture of vines at dusk. Book early today.
