The Summit Ridge wine list offers more than 250 labels from award-winning regions in Australia, New Zealand and around the world.

The restaurant's extraordinary beverage list provides a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages, local and imported beer (including a locally brewed beer on tap), and world- renowned wines including Giaconda Estate Vineyard Chardonnay and Rockford Basket Press Shiraz.

Summit Ridge's outstanding achievements have helped hold the spotlight on Falls Creek and the Border region as an extraordinary tourism destination.
