Food, paddocks and produce

Strawberries straight from the patch, bright and flavourful salads packed with farm-to-table veggies, succulent beef cheeks, pork ribs marinated in tree-ripened apple sauce, all washed down with craftsman beer or boutique wine. There’s honestly no end to the mouth-watering, homegrown produce here in River Country.

Eat And Treat

River Country is long famed for its rice and grain products, but citrus, stone fruit and organic meats are fast becoming the heroes of the region. There’s oranges, avocados, cherries, walnuts, pistachios and almonds and free-range pork — all of which feature on local menus or are available to taste and purchase from the producers themselves. Our country vibe coupled with an enticing café culture also provides plenty of opportunities for you to relax and enjoy a lazy breakfast or long lunch. Pop your head into one of our many local eateries and find out for yourself! If you’re more of a traditionalist, our region also hosts a great collection of pubs where you can enjoy a ‘pot and parmi’ or taste some fabulous home-cooked recipes.

Fine Wine

In Murray River Country you’ll discover a stunning landscape of boutique wineries and vineyards all eager to welcome you in for a drop! Nestled among the vines and orchards are a collection of unique cellar doors that offer the ultimate farm gate immersion. Some even provide the complete wine and dine experience with awardwinning restaurants overlooking expansive vineyard views. Embark on your very own Murray River food and wine trail from Moama to Tooleybuc — you’ll find a delicious drop at both ends of our region... with plenty of hidden gems in between!

Experience The Farm Gate

Chat with the wine-makers, meet the locals and enjoy the fresh produce via a farm gate experience along the Backroads Trail. Visit working farms where the owners are heavily involved in all stages of harvest, production and sales. Many are memorable characters with great stories to share, so make sure you take time to soak up the atmosphere as you explore the paddocks and the produce.

Whatever your taste buds desire, you’ll find it right here in River Country. Just don’t forget to save room for dessert!
