About Us
Our Journey: Cultivating Flavor in the Yass Valley Since 2012
Our story began in 2012 when we launched the Thyme to Taste Café—a cozy local hub with a tiny retail corner dedicated to regional produce. Over the years, our passion for exceptional local food and drink grew, and when the perfect opportunity arose to expand in mid-2020, we leaped. Not even a global pandemic was going to stop us from sharing our love for our region’s finest flavors.
Today, Thyme to Taste Emporium serves as a premier destination both online and via our physical storefronts in Yass and Murrumbateman. We specialize in curating the absolute best cool-climate wines from the Canberra District, alongside independent Australian craft beers, artisanal ciders, boutique spirits, and gourmet cheeses.
Every bottle and product on our shelves is personally selected and taste-tested by our team. It’s a tough job, but someone has to ensure that only the most exceptional products make it to your table!
So if you are looking for something to do in Yass or Murrumbateman, pop in and discover your next favourite wine, beer or cheese.

Championing Independent Makers & Exceptional Quality
From our very first day in 2012, Thyme to Taste has been driven by the joy of great wine, honest food, and artisanal craftsmanship. Operating as an independent bottle shop frees us from corporate constraints. It allows us to focus entirely on our true passion: scouring the region to find hidden gems, supporting local family-owned vineyards, and bringing you exceptional flavors that you won’t find on standard supermarket shelves.
Amazing Taste & Fast Delivery
I am impressed for the wine to get delivered so quickly – Ordered as a present. Two bottles rocked up in a few days just before their birthday.
Our Team
My vision was to bridge the warmth of a regional boutique deli with the seamless convenience of a premium online shop. I wanted to make the extraordinary produce of the Yass Valley and Canberra District wine region accessible to food and wine lovers everywhere, saving you time without compromising on exceptional quality.
I love collaborating directly with our community—whether you step into our Yass or Murrumbateman stores or reach out to us online. Finding the perfect wine pairing or introducing someone to a new independent craft beer is what I enjoy most. If you have a question about regional flavors, just ask—let’s find your perfect drink together.
