Ever since the first grapevine was planted in 1788, New South Wales's wine industry has thrived, stretching from the Outback to the North Coast.
Heading to the cellar doors is not only a great chance to sample wines you haven’t previously tried – it’s also often the only way to stock up on rare drops that aren’t available at your local retailer.
But even passionate wine buffs need to eat – and luckily the areas listed below are widely recognised for producing some of Australia’s most delicious fruit, veggies, meats and cheeses, with many areas specialising in several types of produce. So while you’re packing the corkscrew, don’t forget the picnic basket too as you explore some of the best food & wine New South Wales has to offer!
