From the foothills of the alps, to the Gippsland Lakes, clear rivers pristine beaches, Gippsland combines wilderness and clean, green food.

On lush pastures graze cattle, some producing milk for artisan cheeses and accredited environmentally sustainable beef. A small fleet harboured near Wilsons Promontory National Park fish the coastal waters for fine-fleshed white fish.

It's a region home to vibrant arts communities, a handful of great small breweries and internationally acclaimed winemakers. Local restaurants, some secluded in the hills or perched on the water's edge, work closely with local producers creating ever changing menus faithfully reflective of the seasons.
