How far is Aranya Acres from Bungendore?

About 16 km — a 15-minute drive, which puts us among the closest Bungendore restaurants despite the Wamboin address — see what the week looks like for locals. We’re a stop on the Bungendore Wine Trail, alongside Lark Hill Winery, the Sapling Yard cellar door and Scrumpers Kitchen, so it’s an easy afternoon to string together.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and allergen information is marked on every dish, and our kitchen caters confidently for gluten-free and allergy needs — just let us know when booking. There’s a kids menu too.

Do you have live music?

Yes — we host regular live music in the vines, including Friday jazz nights, folk and acoustic sessions, and weekly Trivia Thursdays at 7pm. See the What’s On page for upcoming dates.

Is there a winery at Aranya Acres?

There is a winery on the property, but it is a separate business. Sapling Yard Wines has its production facility and cellar door directly beneath us, and their range pours on our list. Aranya Acres is the restaurant upstairs; the vineyard is managed by Wamboin Hills Estate, who look after the agricultural side and the rejuvenation project.

Do you serve cocktails?

Yes — the bar runs through service, with cocktails alongside an ever-changing Canberra District cellar list, beer, cider and non-alcoholic options.

Can we hold our wedding at Aranya Acres?

Yes — the estate hosts weddings among the vines, with the dining room seating up to 80 guests — our total seated capacity — and ceremonies and arrival drinks among the vines and lawns. Email events@aranyaacres.com.au to start planning.

Is Aranya Acres family friendly?

Absolutely — families are welcome, there’s a dedicated kids menu, and plenty of lawn to roam. Trivia and live music nights are all-ages.

Can I buy Sapling Yard wines to take home?

The full Sapling Yard range pours with lunch and dinner, and bottles are available to purchase with your meal. The Sapling Yard cellar door is here at 810 Norton Rd.

Do you host functions and private events?

Yes — up to 80 guests seated, or up to 90 standing once the lawn and vineyard are used, with those spaces available for ceremonies and arrival drinks. Email events@aranyaacres.com.au and our events team will tailor a package. See functions and weddings for what is included.
