Food and Wine Experiences
Aussies have learned from the best. Their chefs and wine makers have bent the rules and created a food and wine style all their own.
They've blended, chopped, shaken and fused nature's sun-kissed produce to create a delicious melting pot of cuisine and award winning full-flavored wines.
Whether you're in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak, Asian-fused modern cuisine, a racy Riesling or a crocodile sausage, Australia is the place to be with a food and wine style all its own. From mouth-watering European and Mediterranean influences through to the tantalizing spices of Asia and the Middle East and exotic bush tucker from our own backyard, the choice is vast and delicious.
A little more
Australia's food and wine experience is more than... well, food and wine. It's about hot air ballooning, country walks, cycling, horse drawn carriages and old steam trains. It's about art, heritage and culture. Big bands and gentle opera. Making your own wine and picking your own produce. Being involved, relaxation, laughter and fun.
Fact
Australia is the fourth largest wine exporting country in the world and is the number 16 wine drinking country.
