Snowy Valleys Beverage Trail

Snowy Valleys Beverage Trail Guide

In January 2020, the Snowy Valleys region was hit by bushfires, and as a result, some of Snowy Valleys Beverage Trail operators, including Tumbarumba wine makers and vignerons, are temporarily closed.

There’s nothing more important than great, fresh, regional produce. Here in the Snowy Valleys, our COOL, CRISP CLIMATE allows us to create premium wines, beers, ciders, and liqueurs.
