The Alpine Valleys region of Victoria is known for the production of distinctive wine styles. Well structured chardonnay, pinot noir and shiraz can be found throughout the region.
Most of the wineries and vineyards in the region centre round the upper reaches of the Ovens River that flows in a northwest direction through the Ovens Valley. The main towns are Myrtleford, Porepunkah and Bright. There is also a winery at Yackandandah to the north and vineyards along the Kiewa Valley Highway ascending to the east. The Alpine Valleys is a cool region with fertile alluvial soils deposited over eons by the rivers and creeks.
Getting There
To visit the region, take the Great Alpine Road and the Kiewa Valley Highway. There are cellar doors, restaurants, cafes, accommodation and the wonderful Mt Buffalo National Park between Myrtleford and Bright.
