Located in Victoria’s North East, the High Country region is famous for world-class wines and gourmet food, spectacular scenery and natural beauty, historic legends and cultural heritage. Whether your stay is for relaxation, culinary satisfaction or the excitement of discovery, be sure to allow at least a few days to enjoy this very unique and memorable experience.

Drink some wine.

The King Valley is remarkable for its imaginative use of alternative grape varieties by winemakers who long ago recognised the region's cool-climate potential. The mix of steep slopes, soil types and micro climates provide a mosaic of vineyard opportunities for inquisitive winemakers to explore and develop the varieties and wine styles that are the hallmark of the region’s wines.

Many cellar doors are open seven days in the King Valley, some having their own restaurants with a distinct Italian flavour. Soak up generous hospitality, warming food and new release innovative wine styles. The King Valley and Milawa Gourmet Region's climate and topography have cultivated an abundance of passionate producers and the area is a must do for foodies and wine lovers.
