Contentious Character is a contemporary estate with a winery, cellar door, and restaurant tucked away in the hills of Wamboin, 15 minutes from Canberra airport. Whether you come to them or their wines come to you, they’ll give you plenty to talk about!

The menu is a blend of Japanese and Australian cuisine designed to complement our cool-climate wines perfectly.
