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

Dive into the valley to toast the winter season with locally-hopped beers by Mitta Mitta Brewing Co’s fireplace, or outdoor firepit.

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

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

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

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

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.
