This is what we're doing this weekend in Canberra.
Spoil Mum with One of These Special Mother's Day Activities
The restaurant and bar scene in Canberra have gone all out this year to offer all Mums the outing of their dreams. From wine tastings to high tea and even 'mum-cha', these are the must-book events in Canberra this Mother's Day.
Go Winery Hopping
Make the most of this mild weather and swill, sip and repeat at some of Canberra’s premier wineries. At Pialligo Estate, you can visit the cellar door, or make a day of it by signing up for a wine or cooking class or lingering over lunch at the restaurant.
Just a 15-minute drive from the city centre, Mount Majura Vineyard has made a name for itself for its boutique wines and beautiful views. To learn more about viticulture, sign up for the gumboot tour.
Shop Australia's Biggest Fashion Market with Fashion Thrift Society
Love vintage clothes, locally made bits and pre-loved gems? This market is calling your name. Fashion Thrift Society's market also hosts an interactive installation bar where you can jazz up your look with tooth gems, piercings, henna, permanent jewellery, tattoos and more. It's the ideal fashion aficionado's day out. A DJ, food trucks and a bar round out the offering.

Check Out Canberra's Newest Restaurant, Compa
Chef Matt Moran's latest opening is already causing a fuss in the very best way.

Pair your choice of protein with fresh pasta and a swathe of tasty sides. The fun selection of antipasto plates makes Compa the perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely weekend lunch!
