FOOD AND WINE
IN THE GREAT ALPINE ROAD REGION

Touring along this special road, you must look out for the signs. Take the high road to gourmet heaven and eat your way to the top.

Watch out for blackboards brandishing today’s harvest. Wild local honey, olive oil or freshly baked bread could be today’s menu. You might even meet the grower.

Up here the pies are good, real good. Drop into a bakery in Bruthen or Swifts Creek and breathe in the just baked aromas. Stock up for a picnic on the road, gathering as you go.

Taste some different brews, like Meade, sparkling berry wines or even Springwater stout in Cassilis or Ensay. Keep this to a limit if you’re driving though!

Pick up some trout, carefully caught and prepared for you. Smoked or fresh the flavour of clean, pure Alpine living will impress. Give in to temptation and savour this foodie tour of the Great Alpine Region.
