Helm Wines

He was great—I just wanted to try a little bit, but the wines were sooo good, I couldn't stop drinking! Every bite was amazing. Visiting here was the best decision. If you're looking for the best wine, you should definitely come here.

His warmth and knowledge make every visit special. Renowned for its Riesling, Helm Wines is a destination worth exploring, where tradition and quality come together in every glass.

Popped in for a quick tasting. The staff were warm and friendly, knowledgeable, generous and fun. Quaint little tasting room with plenty of history in a beautiful setting. Really enjoyed stopping by and picked up a couple of bottles of Riesling for later. Enjoy

Had a lovely Sunday afternoon tasting wines. One of the best cellar door experiences.Her knowledge of the riesling wine was excellent. Seeing the old school house where the cellar door was and the photos of the winery gave as sence of the history.Would definitely recommend to friends and anyone visiting Canberra region. We had good conversation and wine so smiles all round- the wines are incredible and you'll be well looked after. Can't wait to visit again in the future!

This beautifully restored old public school, now a winery, makes the grade in every way. The wines are thoughtful and elegant, with a focus on cool climate varieties. My favourite are the Rose and premium Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ken is a legend, he has so much knowledge about wine and the industry! It was a very intimate wining tasting, with a lot of good chatting, and amazing wines. The Dry riesling and the cabernet sauvignon are to die for! Helm wines is a must go in Canberra region!

Beautiful location. Ken is a wonderful knowledgable character. Unique and well produced high quality wines.

I went there for wine tasting with a group of 12 for wine tasting. Ken Helm conducted the tasting of 7 wines (4 X Reisling & 3x Cabernet Sauvignon) these are all the wines Helm currently had in stock. They only produce these 2 wine varieties. Ken provided details of the tasted wines including where the grapes came from in the small vineyard. He also provided details of the history of wine in the Canberra region, him being one of the pioneers. He was very informative and interesting. The wines were also very good. My favourites were 1921 Classic Cab Sab & the Classic Half Dry Reisling. This was the best tasting as far as information and enjoyment of our day visiting 6 wineries.
