Gippsland Inspired! A Celebration of Food and Wine

Gippsland Inspired! - A Celebration of Food and Wine is a celebration of all the good things in life. The 2008 Celebration will feature more than 50 quality food and wine events across Gippsland from Harvest picnics to vertical wine tastings, and everything in between.

Gippsland is a lush, rich and resourceful region with dramatic landscapes and breathtaking scenery. Gippsland Inspired! offers you leisure and pleasure with the locals, celebrating great food and wine.

Melbourne Restauranteur, Businesswoman, Musician and enthusiastic voice for Gippsland Dur-e' Dara says:

'Gippsland draws me back again and again. Over the years I have been inspired by its people, its strong sense of community, its sense of place and its history. Gippsland Inspired! is your opportunity to be revitalised and restored by the coastal drives, rich plains, cool rainforests and High Country. I invite and encourage you to participate in Gippsland Inspired!'

Key events within the Celebration include the Inverloch Food and Wine Festival, A Palate of Passions, Feast on East and the Jindi Harvest of Gippsland. Gippsland Inspired! will be launched at a Dinner with Dur-e' Dara at Lyre Bird Hill Winery in South Gippsland on February 22nd 2008.

So stop, slow down and discover the joy and delight of being inspired by what Gippsland can offer you. Leave home with an empty esky, and return with it filled with Gippsland's food and wine treasures!
