 Regional Overview
Visiting Australia? Discover our main wine states and regions
Australian wine regions
Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

Visit the Wine and Food Regions of Australia
Where to enjoy Australian regional cuisine and restaurants
Where There's Wine, There's Good Food
Like all the world's great wine making destinations, Australia follows the adage that where there's wine there is sure to be good food. Journey through any of Australia's wine regions and you'll always find plenty of good things to eat, both in restaurants and cafes and at farm gates and provedores.
In fact, if you see grapevines in the landscape you can rest assured that somewhere close by people will be doing interesting things with a wide variety of food, from raising saltbush lambs and hand making cheese to growing olives and baking sourdough bread. And world-class chefs will be turning them into exciting creations, worthy of the restaurants of France, Spain and the Napa.
Australian produce is in great demand around the world for its clean and green credentials and the skill and care of its local artisan producers. So why not try it here? One of the great privileges of touring through Australia's wine and food regions is being able to discover and taste all this sought after food at its source, where it's freshest. And you can pat yourself on the back, too, for your environmental awareness, buying food that hasn't been freighted round the world, is grown and produced to the highest standards on earth, and which supports local producers and our rural way of life.
Whether you are after just-shucked briny oysters, hormone-free beef, organic stone fruit, creamy hand made goat's curd, fresh and salt water fish or wild and exotic mushrooms, there will be a region of Australia that comes up with the goods. And you can explore them all here.
VisitVineyards' gives you the scoop on all the best ingredients, the best time of year to find them and where the best chefs are cooking them. Our team of independent experts only mention the restaurants, cafes, provedores, markets, growers and makers that are hitting a benchmark of quality, so that your time in every region will be truly satisfying.
Regularly updated information, news on which chef is doing what where, seasonal alerts, links to each region's best eateries and special members events and discounts ensure that VisitVineyards' members are the ones with all the inside information. Subscribe now (it's free) for your introduction to some truly delicious experiences.
