Overview
Bookmark

Wangaratta is a warm and welcoming country town. Its country-style hospitality, range of events and attractions and its position at the centre of Legends, Wine and High Country means Wangaratta is a popular touring hub for those exploring this region.

Surrounded by undulating agricultural land and encompassing the Milawa Gourmet Region, the Wangaratta district offers an array of fine wines, dining establishments and gourmet food producers.

Time your visit with one of the many festivals and events which take place in the area. The multi-award-winning Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues held over three days and four nights in hotels, concert venues and nearby wineries is one of the biggest jazz events in Australia.

Airworld convention complex hosts the bi-annual Monaro gathering, when the town comes alive with the roar of muscle engines. It also houses a museum of aviation memorabilia and some 40 vintage aircraft.

The bloody siege and capture of the Kelly gang stands as perhaps the most famous episode of bushranger history in Australia. The site of this historic event is at nearby Glenrowan, where the legend has been preserved by many Kelly related attractions.
