Luxury holidays in Milawa

Wining and dining takes on new meaning in Milawa, a culinary corner of Victoria’s High Country and one of Australia’s oldest gourmet regions. Don’t forget to bring your appetite – days are spent sampling local cheeses, baked goods and olive oil, and sipping on chilled chardonnays and award-winning blends. And it’s not just the local wine you’ll be drinking in – the many hiking trails boast vineyard views, but nothing beats the ones from a hot-air balloon.
