Wine
Northeast Victoria is home to renowned wine regions such as Rutherglen, Alpine Valleys, King Valley, and Glenrowan. Blessed with rich, fertile soils, clean water, and a favourable seasonal climate, the area is ideal for viticulture.

• Rutherglen is steeped in winemaking history, particularly known for its muscat, tokay, and bold red wines. Today, modern winemakers are putting a fresh spin on these traditional styles.
• Alpine Valley benefits from unique sub-alpine conditions, resulting in wines of exceptional elegance.
• King Valley, with its high altitudes and scenic beauty, is gaining recognition for its distinctively flavoured wines.
• Glenrowan stands out for its full-bodied reds and fortified wines—and not to forget, its strong association with Ned Kelly lore.

Distilleries
Victoria’s High Country distilleries draw inspiration from their natural surroundings, crafting spirits with character and creativity. Using pure alpine spring water and regional botanicals, local distillers produce:

• Smooth yet spicy gins
• Barrel-aged single malts
• Small-batch rye whiskeys
• Inventive collaborations and regional expressions

These spirits reflect both the purity of the environment and the passion of the makers.
