We have fourteen

wineries producing fine

cool climate wines, with

a focus on quality, not

quantity. With a similar

climate and terrain

to that of northern

Italy, it is little wonder

that much of what is

produced here has a

distinct Italian influence.

T he Great Alpine Valleys are located in North East

Victoria and situated along two key watercourses,

the Kiewa and Ovens River. Fed by our spring snow

melt, the rivers are the lifeblood of the valleys. Our mountains

and valleys offer year round activities providing a lifetime of

experiences to our visitors.

Key townships in our region are Myrtleford, Mount Beauty and

Bright in the valleys and Dinner Plain - our Alpine retreat. The

island in the sky, Mount Buffalo, is an ideal hideaway for walks

and tours unraveling the High Country’s natural treasures.

The development of the Yarra Valley to the High Country

‘Culinary Adventure Trail’ between the Yarra Valley and North

Eastern Victoria provides an alternative route for food and wine

lovers making their way from Melbourne to the Great Alpine

Valleys.

1 | Taste Alpine | greatalpinevalleys.com.au

The region is also cycle friendly, featuring the Murray to

Mountains Rail Trail, numerous mountain bike trails and parks

and road cycling circuits suitable for families right through to

serious enthusiasts. Pedal to Produce offers visitors another

way to discover the region on two wheels; collect a map and a

basket to attach to your bike and start exploring!

With the addition of the Alpine Explorer to our repertoire -

enabling visitors to create their own itinerary facilitated by touch

screen - creating an Alpine experience has never been easier.

nuts, olives and a variety of fruits and vegetables.

harvests; including the Bright Autumn and Spring Festivals,

the Wandi Nut Festival the Myrtleford Festival and La Fiera in

Myrtleford are a great way to discover local produce and meet

what produce is available right now?To get an idea of what produce is available in season in the Great Alpine Valleys, look at the Seasonal Produce Guide over page.

Sourcing produce locally is the smarter choice; it’s good for your wallet, great for your health and reduces your carbon footprint.The less distance produce has to travel from the farm to your plate means a fresher, tastier, more nutritious product for you at a fraction of the price.

why buy local?


seasonal produce




meet the locals

E ver wondered how your food makes it from the

farmyard to your plate? Take the opportunity to find out

and discover the true meaning of ‘fresh’.

Make the time to visit the growers and purchase your produce

direct from the farm. Don’t just rush in and rush out, have a

chat and learn some more about the produce. At Australian

Gourmet Chestnuts in Eurobin, you can find out the best

method to roast your chestnuts and the Jamandah Boer Goat

Stud in Nug Nug can give you some ideas for accompaniments

for your goat meat sausages.

Some growers, such as Valley Nut Groves in Gapsted, offer

tours of the production facilities (by appointment only) and

many wineries offer vineyard tours for those who want to know

a little more.

I t can take years to create a good bottle of wine; preparing

the soil, planting the vines, tending to them season after

season until it’s finally time to harvest the grapes, then

comes the tricky part – turning grapes into wine. Luckily, the

Great Alpine Valleys’ winemakers have some they’ve prepared

earlier!

There are more than a dozen wineries to choose from as well as

a few breweries for those who prefer the amber ale. Boynton’s

Feathertop Winery in Porepunkah offers both wine and their

own boutique beers on tap. For a real hands-on experience, the

Bright Brewery in the centre of town offers ‘Brewer for a Day’

packages.

T he Great Alpine Valleys is about more than just wine

and beer. The Butter Factory in Myrtleford is one of

only a small handful of producers in Australia making

cultured butter. Visitors can watch the process from the viewing

platform before tasting the final product in the café.

For those with a serious sweet tooth, sample the many

flavours at Le Blanche Ice Creamery in Bright or indulge in the

deliciously rich fudge from the Alpine Fudge Factory in Mount

Beauty.

There’s also jams, olive oils, sauces, baked goods – the list

goes on and on!

Degustation is a French term referring to the art oftasting food. Menus are generally eight or more small courses, ‘tastings’, served one after the other providing an opportunity to sample many different dishes in one sitting.


Nothing beats a local market in Great Alpine Valleys. There are more than a dozen different markets, many held annually and others at regular intervals throughout the year.


T he monthly Bright Markets in Howitt Park follow the

philosophy of ‘Make It, Bake It, Grow It’ and offer

more than just a market. Along with the fresh produce,

delicious food stalls, crafts, wine tasting, art and artisan

products, the markets also offer kid’s activities and live music

to keep you entertained while you browse. Regular stallholders

are shown in the directory, just look for the Bright Markets

symbol.

The Myrtleford Produce Market in Clyde Street is held weekly

during summer and autumn and is the next best thing to

visiting the farmgate. The produce is entirely seasonal and the

sellers are always happy to offer some advice or tips on how to

prepare your purchases. If shopping outdoors is not your cup

of tea, try the many retail options in the Great Alpine Valleys.

Delizie Café & Delicatessen in Myrtleford is a one-stop-shop

for all your antipasti needs and Food Wine Friends in Bright is a

great place to have a coffee and stock up on regional produce.
