Friday evenings at Aranya Acres wind down the working week with live music among the vines. Local musicians play as the sun sets over Canberra District wine country, from smooth jazz to acoustic sets, filling the restaurant and terrace with a relaxed end-of-week glow. Settle in with a glass of Sapling Yard wine grown just metres from the table, a native-botanical cocktail from the bar, or dinner from the modern Australian menu woven with indigenous ingredients. Seating runs indoors and out on the terrace with views across the vineyard, and the night suits everything from date nights to group catch-ups. Bookings are recommended as Friday sessions are popular.
