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

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.

Grab a pint of signature ale and unwind by the open fireplace in Anvil Brewing Co’s beer garden, the largest in Mansfield.

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.

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

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