Contentious Character
Raise A Glass & Ruffle Some Feathers
Welcome to the home of good wine, high spirits and great debates.
Contentious Character is Canberra’s original urban winery, now proudly located on the Kingston Foreshore. Combining award-winning wines, waterfront dining, wine tastings and warm hospitality, we offer a uniquely Canberra experience in one of the city’s most vibrant destinations.
Our journey began in the rolling hills of Wamboin and has evolved to the heart of Canberra’s lakeside precinct. While our location has changed, our commitment to crafting exceptional cool-climate wines and creating memorable experiences remains the same.
Visit our Kingston Foreshore cellar door and restaurant to enjoy wine flights, seasonal menus and stunning waterfront views. Whether you’re joining us for a long lunch, a wine tasting, a special event or simply a glass of wine by the water, we’ll give you plenty to talk about.
TRY OUR WINES. SHARE OUR VIEW.

Some things are better shared. A bottle of wine. A long lunch. A spirited debate.
Pull up a chair at our Kingston Foreshore urban winery and settle in for award-winning wines, wine tastings and seasonal dining with a waterfront outlook worth talking about. Whether you’re here to agree, disagree or simply enjoy another glass, we’ll make sure the conversation flows as freely as the wine.
