This winter, explore unhurried dining experiences by toasty fireplaces, robust reds and warming whiskeys.
Winter is the time for slow-cooked comfort and full-bodied reds, enjoyed in the glow of a flickering fireplace. Take your time in the High Country's hatted restaurants, cosy cafes and alpine bistros, and explore six wine regions, the High Country Brewery Trail, and innovative distilleries.
