If you’re in Wangaratta and surrounds for the King’s Birthday weekend, swap the rush for something slower.

Rug up and head just 10 minutes from the CBD to the Sunrise Walking Track -where crisp air, quiet bushland and soft winter light set the pace.

Follow the track up through the trees and take in the views back across Wangaratta. No crowds, no schedule... just a simple way to get outdoors and reset.

And afterwards? Settle in somewhere warm for a coffee or long lunch, because winter walks are always better when they end somewhere cosy.

Discover the Ovens River Walk, a tranquil trail right in the CBD. Wander beneath towering gums, cross scenic swing bridges, and enjoy the calm of lush riverside reserves.

Just upstream, the path leads you to Wangaratta’s vibrant riverside precinct, perfect for a coffee or a bite to eat after your walk. It’s the ultimate blend of peaceful trails and local flavour.

Bring a friend, grab a coffee, and experience the best of both worlds.

What really happened at Glenrowan?

At the Ned Kelly Discovery Hub, the story isn’t retold...it’, the story isn’t retold...it's unpacked.

Set within a striking rotunda overlooking the site of Kelly’s Last Stand, the experience begins with the landscape itself. From the elevated platform, you can take in the places where history unfolded, before stepping inside to explore the layers behind it.

Through immersive displays and personal accounts, the Hub moves beyond the legend to reveal a story that still divides opinion more than a century on.
It’s not about telling you what to think... it’s about giving you the space to decide for yourself.

We’re just days away... the Good Food & Wine Show Melbourne lands this Friday to Sunday (29–31 May) 🍷✨, and we’re introducing our final producer joining us: Politini Wines.

Bringing a taste of Sicily to the King Valley, Politini Wines focuses on estate‑grown varieties that celebrate their heritage while reflecting the region they call home. The result is a collection of wines made for sharing... expressive, approachable and full of character.

At the show, expect a vibrant lineup including crisp Prosecco, citrus‑driven Grecanico, refreshing Vermentino and bold Nero d’Avola - varieties that speak to both Sicilian roots and the King Valley’s cool‑climate influence.

It’s a thoughtful mix of tradition and place, poured into every glass.

If you’re heading along this weekend, make sure to stop by stand N29, meet the team and taste your way through a true slice of Wangaratta and surrounds 🍇🥂

The creek is calling… are you ready to try your luck? ⛏️✨

In the quiet surrounds of Woolshed Valley, the search for gold is still part of the experience. Eldorado’s legacy of fortune-seekers lives on here... and with a pan in hand and a quiet bend in the creek, you can step into it for yourself.

All you need is a Miner’s Right (easy to purchase online before you arrive), a little patience, and a sense of curiosity.

And while there’s always a chance of a golden find, the real reward is in the day itself - fresh air, flowing water and a landscape shaped by history. Not every treasure glitters.

We’re counting down to the Good Food & Wine Show Melbourne (29–31 May) and continuing to introduce the producers joining us.. next up is King River Estate.

Set at the gateway to the Upper King Valley, this family-run winery has been crafting small-batch wines since 1990. With vines planted alongside the King River in mineral-rich soils, the focus here is on site-driven wines shaped with minimal intervention.

Sustainable practices, natural fermentation, hand plunging and minimal filtration all play a role in capturing the character of each vintage.

Alongside their original vineyard, they also manage Flying Duck Vineyard, home to Shiraz, Prosecco and Sangiovese, adding another layer to their expressive cool-climate range.

Across both labels, King River Estate has built a reputation for award-winning Italian, French and Georgian varietals... and they’re well worth a taste.

Come meet the team and experience a true slice of our region at the Visit Wangaratta stand at N29.
