List Of The Snowy Valley Wineries
One of New South Wales’s most breathtaking wine districts is Tumbarumba, which lies tucked into the western slopes of the Snowy Mountains. The area is surrounded by Mount Kosciuszko to the south, and the Murray River, to the west.
Tumbarumba enjoys a mountain climate and is known for its award-winning vineyards, grass-fed beef and lamb, and blueberries bursting with plantation forestry. It is surrounded by picturesque mountain peaks, natural bushland, expansive vineyards, lush agricultural pastures, and crystal-clear streams brimming with trout. Rainfall occurs in the winter and spring, which is ideal for the grapes to produce the cold climate wines of the area. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are renowned for being used to create stunning Sparkling wines.
From wine tasting and festivals to bushwalking, fly fishing, and horse riding, Tumbarumba offers a mix of landscapes, with surrounding mountain peaks standing sentinel over bushland, vineyards, lush pastures, and trickling streams.
