Relax in the Riverina and experience locally-produced gourmet foods, drop in on cellar doors of internationally recognised wineries, participate in local bush festivals, discover Australia’s unique history and enjoy friendly accommodation.
The Riverina region is located in southern New South Wales and encompasses the middle and lower reaches of the Murrumbidgee River Valley. The region’s fertile farmland has attracted migrants from many nations, creating a surprising and eclectic mix of cuisines and cultures.
The population of the region is estimated at 150,000. The main regional centres with populations over 20,000 include Griffith and Wagga Wagga.
The region is bound together by a network of proud country towns with wide streets and grand old pubs. Heritage buildings and pioneering reminders can be found in every township of the Riverina.
Visitors can gain a contemporary rural Australian experience removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is a place of genuine smiles and friendly locals who enjoy a chat.
Today, the Riverina is the biggest producer of wine in New South Wales. Griffith alone boasts nine wineries open to the public for cellar door tastings and sales.
Drop in on the region’s many gourmet food outlets - try the local cheese in Wagga Wagga, the organic licorice and chocolate in Junee, antipastos and sauces in Griffith or try one of the mouth watering pies at Micks Bakehouse in Leeton.
The Riverina is not just about good food and fine wine it is about experiencing Australia’s unique connection to the land. There are many bush walking trails and scenic tours drives through the region where you are sure to stumble on a lavender farm or two.
Visit the Temora Aviation Museum and learn about Australia air history and watch a genuine Spit Fire in action. Cruise down the Murrumbidgee River to Hay and try your luck at some great fishing spots along the way.
Stay at a country bed & breakfast, a historic pub or a genuine farmstay where both you and your children can experience life on the land.
Whatever you choose, the Riverina is a natural choice for those special holiday memories.
