Food and wine - High Country

Submit to the riches of the High Country, where internationally lauded wines flow over innovative meals prepared by passionate chefs, fresh produce is bountiful and village locals offer warm welcomes.

Wine and food to match
Knock on a King Valley cellar door, where dynamic vintners in family wineries set trends with Italian varietals. Match prosecco, nebbiolo or sangiovese with rustic Italian cuisine made by enthusiastic, entrepreneurial families.

Visit diverse wineries throughout the High Country's eight wine regions, not missing revitalised vineyards in Rutherglen, where emerging winemakers draw on family tradition to continue to produce world-beating fortified wines.

Local delights on a plate
Fresh cheeses, meat, fish and olives are plentiful, particularly in Milawa, the regional breadbasket. Let well-known chefs find groundbreaking ways to deliver local produce to your plate. Simone's of Bright and Beechworth's Provenance and Wardens Food and Wine lead the fine dining charge, and atmospheric cafés and convivial country pubs thrive in every village.
