Riverina Wine Region
Affectionately dubbed the ‘food bowl’ of NSW, the Riverina is one of Australia’s leading agricultural regions – but it’s getting a good reputation for its wine, too! Tipple-seekers will find over 15 cellar doors sprinkled from Leeton to Wagga Wagga, Conaro to Lake Cargellico, with the best varieties being Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet and Botrytis-affected dessert wines.
The regional produce here includes fruit, fish, cereals, nougat, olives, antipasto produces, potatoes, rice and citrus – and there are lots of opportunities to get up close and personal to the gourmet grub! The Riverina wine region is one of the busiest and biggest wine regions in the New South Wales wine industry. The wine grape production in Riverina accounts for over 15% of all the wine produced in Australia. However, the Riverina region is famous for its Botrytis Semillon dessert wine.
