Dining - High Country
Dining in the High Country is whatever you want it to be. Settle in at convivial country pubs, linger in stylish cafés or indulge in innovative cuisine at elegant restaurants with growing reputations.
Fine dining, High Country style
Your unforgettable High Country dining experience brings together regional producers, winemakers, brewers and restaurateurs, and is often a family affair. Taste the passion of top chefs, including Michael Ryan from Provenance at Beechworth, Patrizia Simone from Simone's of Bright and Doug Elder of Wardens Food and Wine.
No food without wine
Food and wine are inextricably linked and Gigi's in Beechworth is renowned for its local winelist. Vineyard restaurants like the Epicurean Centre at Brown Brothers Vineyard in the Milawa breadbasket offer complete regional food and wine packages.
Further afield
Even beyond Beechworth, Rutherglen and the King Valley a smorgasboard awaits. Tuck into top tucker at the standout Stanley Pub and Rinaldo's Casa Cucina in Wangaratta. Take tea on Dinner Plain at Rundells Alpine Lodge, and get local at The Butter Factory, Myrtleford and the Mansfield Produce Store.
