Food & Wine

Melbourne's West is a rich pool of cultures and languages; people from more than 130 different countries have made Melbourne’s West their home.

This diversity of cultures and customs generates a unique energy that is best captured in the region’s superb food and wine.

The Victorian Government has recognised Melbourne’s West as one of the state’s most valuable food producing districts. The rich, red volcanic soils of the region are home to extensive market gardens, vineyards, olive groves and grazing properties.

Our wineries are the closest to Melbourne’s CBD and are among the finest in Australia. Wineries in Melbourne’s West make use of the region’s rich soils and ideal cool climate conditions to grow superior, intensely flavoured grapes, that produce high-quality, premium wines.

One could almost eat and drink his or her way around the world without having to set foot outside Melbourne’s West.
