The Bendigo Wine region is famous for its abundance of award-winning wines. From robust, fully flavoured reds to elegant whites, the wines from Bendigo’s gold-bearing soils are a wine lover’s treasure.
The Bendigo Region includes the towns of Bendigo, Bridgewater, Castlemaine, Elmore, Harcourt and Maldon - more information about the region's wineries can be found at: www.bendigowine.org.au.
Discover rare gems hidden in the picturesque hills and valleys - wineries that dot the landscape, many of which are still operated by the families who founded them.
Regular visitors to the region fondly refer to it as “The Winemakers’ Region”, knowing it is not uncommon to meet the winemakers, sleeves rolled up, tending vines or working in the winery. Taste a big, bold Shiraz, or share the winemakers’ passion for some of the different varieties they’re planting - Sangiovese or Sauvignon Blanc bearing distinct regional characters.
After a day among the vines, head into the city to discover more treasures – the renowned Bendigo Art Gallery, quality attractions and charming restaurants and cafés that feature exquisite modern cuisine with a regional accent. You are bound to find the experience of Bendigo’s wine and food is pure gold.
