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

Grab a seat at The Stanley Pub, order a punchy, locally-sourced winter meal, and catch up with friends new and old by a roaring fire.

Settle into Campbells Wines of Rutherglen for an intimate cellar door tasting of bold reds and liquid-gold Muscat right by the fireplace.

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

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.

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