EAT AND DRINK 

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.

Cosy Fireplace Things

Indulge in classic French bistro fare matched with award-winning wines by the well-stoked open fire at Jones Winery Restaurant.

Warm up inside the beautifully restored The General Strath Creek barn, thawing out beside a roaring open fireplace with hearty eats.

Settle in at the Lake Eildon Hotel for hearty pub classics and local yarns by a massive, crackling stone fireplace.

Escape to Dunmore Farm for the ultimate rural retreat, watching the winter mist lift from the cosiest fireside farmhouse bedroom, or rugged up by the outside fire pit.

Sip elegant wines and spin classic vinyl records beside the cosy open fire at Beechworth's Eldorado Road Cellar Door – Cantina.

After a big day hitting the slopes, refuel at Sorella Falls Creek with woodfired pizza right beside a blazing hearth.
